Have your portrait with one of the best headshots photographers in Melbourne.

Everyone that is currently working or is looking for work, needs to have a professional portrait.

Most people calculate a person from what they see within the first few seconds. It is something that happens in your subconscious and you cannot do anything about it. Is it how the human brain functions. This is a good reason to put your best professional portrait forward whenever possible.

Most people judge a person from what they see within the first few seconds. It is something that happens in our subconscious and we cannot do anything about it. It is how the human brain works. This a good reason to put your best image first whenever possible.
In the professional and business world, the person’s total image is very important and this starts with your portrait.

People and companies will search your name on Google, Facebook, Linkedin and other sites. This is why it is so important to have a great professional headshot for all of your online profiles.

Is your profile picture showing you in a professional, friendly way?

We start with great poses and expressions (we show you how). Add the best lighting for the type of portrait and select an appropriate background. Finish with a magic retouching work to hide or enhance your natural features.

We often extract expressions that present you as an approachable, easy to work with and trustworthy person.
When appropriate, we will try a variety of looks such as smiling, truly interested, impressed, happy and intrigued.
Some people may need to  show power, intelligence, serenity, calm and self-confidence.

We develop your portrait with you and capture the best expression for your needs.

This is what we are good at.

It depends on your profession and the image that you want.

For most office professionals, our suggestion is to wear something that you would wear for a job interview. Something that you would find on people that have the position you want to have.

If you are a chef, you may want to wear a kitchen apron but for the majority of office professionals, consultants, politicians, managers, directors and most people, we suggest the following:

• Dresses, blouses, suits or jackets are good options. Anything that is not too colourful and that does not have many distracting details. Something you would wear for a job interview. If you are not sure, go for the more conservative option. Bring a few to try.
• Bring some nice jewellery and accessories and we select what looks best under the lights.
• Wear light make-up. Something nice but not too strong. Something you would wear during the day.

• Plain colour business shirts, very well pressed and that looks and fits well on you. A nice quality French cuff white business shirt with cuff links is a great option if available.
• Plain colour ties are better than the ones with details. We do not want people distracted looking at your tie instead of you. We want the tie to contrast nicely with the shirt. Bring a few options to try.
• Have a hair cut a few days before the session.
• Shave well or trim your beard.

.

When you arrive, we will talk about what we want and help you with any clothing selection , jewellery, tie adjustments and take a few initial shots.

As we are shooting, the images are being transferred to our main computer.  Soon after the first images are done, we will check them and comment on what we liked and what we want to change.

We continue refining the poses, changing clothes and accessories until you are happy with the images you like and want to purchase.

At the end of your session you will select the images you want to purchase. This includes the ones as part of the package as well as any extra.

We will send you an invoice by email and you can pay by most cards, Paypal, cash, Apple pay or bank deposit.

Your portrait session and the extra photos need to be paid in full before they are retouched and delivered.

No problem. It is very rare but possible that we could not get the images you want on the day. No matter the reason, if you are not happy with the results we can book another day or refund the studio session fee.
