Retouching is an important part of my process. I think retouching in general has a bit of a bad reputation. When people think about retouching, many jump to the conclusion of airbrushed skin, blurred features, liquified bodies, picture-perfect and unrealistic perfection. But this isn’t always the case, and it certainly isn’t in my retouching process. I thought I would take you through photo retouching, and the difference between a ‘retouched’ and ‘enhanced’ edit. I want to show you my style, […]
Recently I worked with Jen, who is a small business owner local to me. She decided to bite the bullet and stop putting off getting some new headshots for her business. Like many business owners, Jen wasn’t super keen on getting behind the camera. While she knew there was value in it, it doesn’t stop that all too common dread or nervousness. “Where do I put my hands!?”, “How do I pose?” – these are the most common worries people […]
Stock Photography It is one of those things that can be so convenient. There are so many stock photography libraries out there. If you’re out of the loop, photographers shoot and upload their work into these libraries, and they can be purchased with various licenses for others to use. It is common for stock photography to be used to accompany articles, or on brochures and marketing material. While it can be incredibly easy to access this photography, it is not […]
When I have a studio headshot session, I try to get a feel for the overall mood and style my subject wants. If it is for actor headshots, corporate headshots, or some personal branding, the lighting is a big part of the overall result. I, of course, also have my go-to setups for headshot lighting. These setups work well for all different people – they’re flattering, create nice catchlights in the eyes, and I know the setups off by heart. […]
Recently I was sitting down with an old friend. We were having a spot of lunch, catching up on the past year. He recently has started his own business too, and he specialises in I.T. We were having a chat about what I do, and discussing how headshots can be so beneficial for business. We discussed how headshots are great to look professional, to connect with potential clients, communicate a personal brand. While this was all good, my friend told […]
Meet Maddison Falls: I have had the pleasure of photographing Maddison Falls on two occasions. I have also bonded with her over our love of chocolate and cheese and bakery items. Once, for my birthday, she made me a donut-tower! So I can certainly tell you, this woman is more than a just pretty face! Maddison is a wildlife and landscape photographer. She is also a Melbourne local, and based in the Dandenong Ranges, where she captures beautiful imagery of […]
Selfies are easy right? You can take one right now. It is barely even an emotional investment. It is quick, simple, accessible. But they don’t cut it in the world of professionalism.
We’re In The Age Of The Selfie Right? Most people have access to smartphones with front cameras, selfie sticks, or self timer on an actual camera. We have snapchat and Instagram stories to share ourselves, add filters to, and send to others. I’ve grown up with cameras and digital technology that have allowed me to do this. From capturing a new Myspace profile photo or capturing a pose in order to refer to when painting in high school art class, […]
