Henri-Lee is a busy professional and had to get her LinkedIn photo updated as well as update her Canadian Citizenship card, and Canadian Passport. Luckily she was able to kill three birds with one stone, and get all her chores done in one place. Here's her LinkedIn headshot which we also shot on a white background similar to a passport photo. The trick was instead of blowing out the background, we only lit the subject so that they appear softer against the background with less contrast.
Professional Headshots and Portrait
Juan wanted a professional portrait to commemorate his birthday this year. He added on styling services for 2 looks, whereby we curated some options that fit the theme he requested. Shooting on a warm beige background that is complementary to his skin tone, the first outfit was a crisp white lacoste shirt that popped against a navy dress pant. It always helps to bring along your accessories such as rings, bracelets, or watch, as we find it adds that personal touch making literally look more like you.
Corporate Linkedin Professional Headshots
For this business portrait we sattled up our gear and headed out west for an on location shoot nearby Maja’s neighborhood. We thought the cool brick was a simple and contrasting background against her pink shirt and warm toned skin. Though it was a little bright we managed to find a shady spot to set up in.
Professional Business Headshots
We introduced black as part of our background options today! We anticipate this background not being used as often, but definitely contributing as a great option we recommend for realtor and acting portraits. The reason being is both those portraiture styles embody strength, contrast, and confidence, compared to a soft and friendly white backdrop (most suitable for LinkedIn business portraits).
Corporate and Business Linkedin Headshots
We shot a headshot for the head of the General Indonesian Consulate. Currently on the website was low resolution cropped snapshot of him. It was interesting shooting Hadi because he didn't want to explore with many different smiles beyond a subtle smirk. Some people don't feel like smiling with their teeth represents themselves accurately, but it's all about what we're used to seeing in other photos of ourselves and in the mirror. We always encourage you to smile even at the subtlest level. This is a good example of Hadi exemplifying that thin line between stern and soft.
Fashion Portrait Photographer
Throwback to using this stunning fashion portrait we took in the fall. This shimmery blouse really lit up on camera, and created some interesting effects. We enhanced the textural element by converting the image to black and white.

He opted for a modern no tie look and no jacket look to portray a more casual and approachable vibe.

Professional Fashion Portrait
Throwback to the golden days of shooting in the studio everyday when it was winter!
Here's a cool portrait of Taylor, shot with a cool toned background and icy pale skin editing style. One thing that's interesting to notice is portraits can either be tined warm or tinted cool. Psycholoigally speaking, warm toned portraits are more received well through peoples eyes, with cooler toned images feeling more brash, yet more artistic. If you are simply looking to get a friendly portrait, warm works wonders on everyone's skin.
