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 […]
I love Prosper’s story. We came across each other in a wonderful Facebook Business networking group, called Business Business Business. It’s a great supportive community that constantly inspires me. But Prosper’s story is a beautiful one and goes beyond me meeting him through a simple online networking group. Born in Zimbabwe, he came to Australia seven years ago in search of an Australian teacher who taught him as a child. Prosper wanted to start a new life for himself in […]
Meet Kaitlyn – the NIDA graduate who is already kicking goals. I worked with Kaitlyn earlier in the year on some new actor headshots (also, how is it April??). She approached the whole shoot with such a positive attitude, completing my pre-shoot survey and really thinking about what she needed, and where she wanted to go in the industry. And then when we met, I found out that Kaitlyn had already been cast in The Australian Shakespeare Company production: Much […]
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 […]

Aside from delivering beautiful imagery, these platforms have also become a great way to share information and endorse products. It’s common to see Instagram profiles that have amazing pictures with vivid shots and colourful sceneries. That said, achieving this specific effect is not always easy. While it […]
When on LinkedIn, we all know it’s important to have a top quality headshot. After all, LinkedIn is a social media network for professionals. Not just for job hunting, but for making connections with relevant industry professionals and potential clients too. So while I’ve discussed previously top tips for great LinkedIn headshots, I thought I’d discuss those little LinkedIn headshot thumbnails, and how to check that yours stands out. Have you ever come across the LinkedIn Network page with all […]
I recently had Tiina come to the studio. Tiina is from Finland, but she has fallen in love with Australia while touring. It was about a 35-degree day when we met, but she mentioned how back home in Helsinki it was about -10 degrees! I couldn’t even imagine that kind of cold, and Tiina said that she loved the Australian summer. In the studio, we took a few headshots. She has beautiful blue eyes, so we picked out a top […]
Makeup Tips for Professional Headshots Makeup for headshots: One of the big considerations that people often seek advice on is how to do their hair and makeup for their headshots. I can see why people stress about this aspect of the process. You might not wear a lot of makeup, or you might usually keep your hairstyles simple. But that’s okay. You don’t need advanced foundation contouring or smokey eyes for your personal branding photoshoot. Even for actors, it isn’t […]
