Musician Portrait
Michael is a local DJ who is working on putting his first EP together. He needed a photo in a square format to be used for his album cover. We happened to have our set painted a moody deep blue which was leftover from a previous session. His music incorporates electronic and jazz together, so we were lucky it happened to be the perfect shade of blue to represent his music style. Looking forward to hearing your tracks once everything is all finished!
On Location Portrait
Meganne is interested in acting and as well as alternative modelling (she has lots of tattoos believe it or not!) so she wanted a portrait that was styled with a bit of a punky feminine edge. This romper suited her perfectly with a relaxed fit on the top and tighter fitting lower half. A little bit of soft light crept through the side of the building and was able to cast a golden hue on her skin.
LinkedIn Portrait
Ross needed a couple variations of a simple portrait for work. He expected to be using his portrait online on LinkedIn, as well as on his personal website and marketing materials. He brought in several suit options and with his 40 minutes of shooting time, we were able to try them all out. He ended up picking photos in each different outfit. All the best with your business endeavours Ross!
Corporate headshot
Ken suited our soft white background perfectly with his warm toned shirt and matching tie, all that is left for the cherry on top is a glowing smile. His photo radiates positivity and friendliness, however I distinctively remember him laughing at himself at this point (with us egging him on)! Turns out natural smiles are the best and this definitely shows it.
Fashion portrait
Laura had her portrait taken on our medium grey background, which complements every skin tone and hair colour. Opposed to white, we recommend people shoot on our grey background when aiming to add more depth and personality to the image. This is because of the fact that the shadows in the background give a subtle realness instead of being completely blown out from the light. We shot this photo loosely and cropped it later to her liking so that her features would appear more visually striking.
business portrait
Gather your confidence and book an outdoor session while the weather is still with us!
Moe wanted an approachable garden green background and we found the perfect spot for that just across the bridge from the studio. The alleyway shades the sun while still emitting a gentle natural glow on the skin (extra golden effects happen when you shoot during or around sunset time!). Don't hesitate to ask us if you have any questions regarding to when and where is ideal for your session.
business portrait
Robin was sent to us to get his professional headshot taken for his company website. We did a loose composition whereby the photo could be cropped in either vertical or horizontal orientation, and be set in colour or in black and white. We kept all of our options open for their graphic design team to take utmost liberty in the final product. If your company has any image specifications such as a particular size or crop, please let us know so we can make sure to get the photo done right.
Location portrait
Tucked away just over the Leslieville bridge (5 minutes from our studio), there a uniquely textured, private alleyway with the perfect lighting for sunny and overcast days. We shot Max's portrait, who was only in town for a work seminar for a month. He was from New York so he wanted to have a brick/textured background that still resembled his current place of residence. We don't charge extra for on location session shot nearby the studio. Just let us know what type of background you are looking for and we'll be sure to hunt for the best places to shoot at.
