How To Take A Headshot Tips from a professional headshot photographer In Melbourne, Covid-19 had most of us in complete lockdown for months.

I’ll be honest here, I get a little bit sad every time I hear someone refer to a headshot as a ‘mug shot’. Many people think of school photos when they think of headshots. The process of sitting down for 10 seconds, then up and away. Results that nobody really likes, and that haunt you for the next year.

The image should be professional, and it should relate to what you do. But when it comes to a headshot or branding portrait, there are so many choices and considerations you can make. Many of my clients give me creative license to help them with choices like backgrounds, lightings and outfits. I love being able to […]

Photographs allow you to capture memories and preserve them through generations. Although this form of art is relatively new, pictures have become an integral part of our history and society. We use them to transmit messages, stir emotions, and record cherished moments. Taking a good picture goes beyond using the right camera or image editor. Elements like lighting, contrast, and the different camera settings you have available can make a huge difference to the quality of your shots. Not only […]
Lucie – Melbourne Actor, Musician and Artist. This was my second time working with Lucie, and I couldn’t be happier to have the opportunity to capture some more actor headshots for this talented woman. This time we worked together on a gloriously warm and sunny Sunday morning. Lucie gave me the exciting news that she was off to LA, and she was updating her actor headshots before the big move. I am so thrilled to hear about this amazing move […]

Do you like your corporate staff headshot? Lolita came to my studio at the end of last year.

So she seeked out a professional to help coach and direct her during the shoot. I can totally relate to Lolita’s problem. She was wanting an image that was really authentic, and captured her essence. Staff headshots […]
