Sebastien needed his business portrait taken to be used on LinkedIn. We suggested that he book the Quick package, which includes up to 30 mins of shooting and 1 final edited image. Perfect for someone who knows the type of look they are going for, with minimal wardrobe changes. Even though you only gets 1 final image with this session, there is always the option of adding an extra edited image for only $20.
Fashion Portfolio Photoshoot
Mikaela is interested in becoming a fashion model. Since this was her very first shoot, she decided to book the Exclusive Fashion Package, which gave her plenty of time to warm up to the strange new experience. She guided us with reference images prior to the session, describing the type of styling she'd like done to her hair, makeup, and wardrobe. In the end, a monochromatic colour scheme was selected for her, with a bold primary toned accent in one of the 3 outfits provided.
It's recommended to all our clients that they show us reference or inspiration photos prior to the session, and/or additional references on the day of. Regardless of the style you're going for, it's always wise to be as descriptive as possible with our photographer so that we can most accurately tailor our style towards your vision.
Corporate Business Headshots
Ugo was in search of getting his professional photo taken and initially came in for a Quick Package, which gives you 1 final edited photo and up to 30 minutes of shooting. When he arrived, he had brought with him several suits and ties to choose from. Being able to see the photos immediately on our big screen, it made him curious to see how all his outfits would translate on camera. As we approached the 30 minute mark, he realized he would not have enough time to try on all that he brought as he also wanted to change his tie for each suit.
We suggested upgrading on the spot to a Standard Package, which for only $50 more, he got an additional 30 minutes of shooting and 2 more final edited photos. In the end, the upgrade proved to be well worth it as he walked away with 3 photos showing 3 different looks, each with their own unique communication and style.
Professional Corporate Headshots
Sarah came in for a Quick Package seeking a professional photo to submit to her employer. After the session we briefly looked through the photos together. Though we took several rounds, she ended up liking the above photo the best, however due to the angle of our lighting, it made for some stronger than necessary shadows on her jawline.
Depending on the position of your face and the angle of the lights, shadows may appear darker than normal. If ever the shadows feel too dark, we can lighten them slightly in post production.
Professional Business / Corporate Portrait
Nzinga needed to get her professional portrait taken to add to her employers website. She was very patient with listening to Yugo's guidance, tilting slightly from left to right and adding a slight squint in her eyes. Thanks for coming in and all the best at your new job !
Nzinga chose to wear her glasses in the session since they had anti-glare lenses. We have done sessions with regular glasses before, but the angles to tilt your head are significantly limited due to the flash.
Corporate Business Headshots
Karin works for Lufthansa and was required by her management to provide a photo for the annual company chart. Though they mentioned all staff must submit a photo, they failed to state a deadline for the submission. Karin was caught aback, realizing last minute that the deadline was by the end of the next day. She called us right away asking if there was any way she could stop by in the morning to have her shot taken, and have the photo be by the same day.
Corporate LinkedIn Headshots
Arun is a business professional who made it his goal this year to find his dream job. His LinkedIn profile picture had been at the time, too casual to use to represent himself in association with his career. We liked how he brought a blue as an alternative to the typical black. Subtle details can make your image stand out while still remaining classic.
Professional Fashion Portrait
Parshan is interested in getting a couple photos as a base for his modelling portfolio. Since it was his first photoshoot, he had no idea what to expect. We've shot with many models on their first shoots before, so we know what poses are comfortable to guide and what works. Style wise we chose a "Classic" look, pairing a sharp blazer with a simple black v-neck.
Let us know what type of a look you're going for, or have us forward you style inspiration. Reference images are always welcome in our eyes!
