You Want People To Take Your Business Seriously: If this is the case, you need to take control of all aspects of your business. Don’t gloss over things. You need brand cohesion, a great marketing plan, and to show potential clients you are the real deal. You can spend thousands on setting up your website, creating a beautiful office space, developing business cards and marketing material. Where do you fall flat? I’m a big believer of having strong headshots. Of […]
If you dismiss the idea that the photo you have on your website, Linkedin and social media doesn’t matter, you should think twice. It’s a no brainer that businesses and professionals are all online these days. Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin are all incredible resources for business. We use these platforms either to network or to market to potential clients. So what is it about our image that makes it so important? A study has found that people who look happier […]
It is a hard choice to make between having studio photos taken, or natural light and outdoor photos taken. Both produce beautiful results but sometimes one is more suitable for you than the other. Studio Light: Studio photography is not just cheesy family portraiture on a bright white background. In the studio, your photographer has a lot of control. They can shape the light, where it goes, what shadows there are, and how much contrast there is. It is also […]

Where it will be seen, and furthermore what do you want to say? If you’re a […]
Creating Characters Nailing your type in your actor headshots Headshots and portraits are not just about pretty images or beautiful people. Stories and characters create great portraits, and a compelling portrait has something more to say. Particularly for actor headshots, the character that you portray in your headshot is incredibly important. That’s why I encourage actors to dive into understanding their personal brand and ‘type’ before we even get to the session. Knowing what you are most likely to be […]
Utilising Nature For Outdoor Portraits: Tracy Hambly is a local meditation teacher. She asked me to take some outdoor portraits to use when advertising her classes. The beautiful Yarra Ranges were the perfect setting, as this is where Tracy has grown up and where she holds her classes. Surrounding my studio is acres of beautiful natural bushland and it made sense to take them there! When discussing Tracy’s ideas before our shoot, she told me she was after more natural […]
From High School to Headshots. In High School I fell in love with photographing people. I was not shooting headshots, but I photographed people in various environments. The first time I used a DSLR I photographed the natural wonders on my parent’s 10-acre property. So when I began to photograph friends at school for assignments I felt so much more entranced by the results. Then began my mid-late teen years of trawling through magazines. I loved the stories that were […]
