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, […]
Headshot Clothing Choices: What to wear seems to be a common dilemma, and getting a headshot or portrait taken can really put the pressure on. I discuss a little more about what to wear to a headshot session in another blog post, but here we will be looking specifically at necklines, and how different necklines work for different shots. Knowing your crop length: Consider this first. Where do you want to sit within the frame of your final shots? Do […]
In a headshot, the eyes are what we would like to be drawn to. It is vital that they are in focus so that they stand out and complete the shot. As they are so important, it is great to understand how to change the eyes to really make them sparkle. “That Look”. Some portraits have a spark to them. The eyes can communicate a lot of things – such as happiness, trust, or fierceness. Sometimes a certain look can […]
I truly believe in the importance of professional headshots and portraits. It isn’t just famous people who require a professional image, and it’s not just big brands who can utilise professional photography. Headshots are a great way to represent the team members within a business, they can be used on Linkedin, get more casting calls for actors, and show an individual’s personal brand. Whilst you don’t need to be famous to get your portrait taken, it is always interesting to look at the […]
Your Headshot Library: Actors need to have great headshots – that we all know. But for different jobs one amazing headshot might not cut it. Begin considering the various roles you are aiming for. If you are interested in being in a crime drama, make sure you have shots that reflect this. Additionally, you may need some more commercial images if you’re considering getting into commercial acting as well. Your crime-drama headshot might not suit playing the happy mother of […]
A beautiful Outdoor session. Autumn is so beautiful. And of course, this session was complimented with beautiful talent, Bree. Bree is an upcoming actress who has studied acting in Queensland, and since graduating has moved to Melbourne. For our shoot we lucked out, with a wonderful, sunny, autumn afternoon with blue skies and magnificent bright light. Bree picked an afternoon session. Starting at 3pm, the session was filled with the low light that comes as the days get colder and […]
Professional Linkedin Headshots: I recently had the pleasure of photographing some new Linkedin headshots for Louise. This beautiful woman is my older sister who is an engineer. It was the first time I have had her sit for a portrait in the studio. She was lovely to help me with many of my photographic projects when I was younger, but this time it was great to create something to truly benefit her. As a professional in her field Louise’s previous Linkedin […]
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 […]
