We recommend the services of a professional makeup artist to create a really great headshot.
If you are confident in your own makeup application below are some tips to get the best result.

• Your makeup is best kept simple and fresh, apply as you would for a light evening application.
• Use a lipstick or gloss which is quite close to your natural lip colour
• A matte look is preferable so try to avoid using a mineral based foundation as these can be too reflective using flash photography.
• Be sure to finish with a translucent or pressed powder over your liquid foundation to avoid shine.
• You may like to bring touch-up makeup as well (compact powder and lip gloss)
• If your hair is going to be out, please ensure that it is smooth and neat for the day – consider how your hair will look from all angles.

Yes, off-street parking is available for your convenience. We can also supply you with a location map to assist you in finding us, please contact me for more details.

We try to maintain the same hours as our clients (9am to 5pm. Mon-Fri). In special circumstances we are able to shoot after hours. For example if you are after your final image as a late afternoon shot outdoors (during summer months) Weekend are available.

We cover any poses you require. During your shoot we will coach you as to the looks that best suit you. We will turn and angle your face and discover your best side and angles, then focus on those to achieve the best outcome for you! Our most popular portrait styles are (head and shoulders), ¾ length, full length. Smiling, gesturing, seated, leaning on desk, hand-to-cheek or chin, slight head tilts, engaged and natural. If you require any specific props please contact the studio prior to your shoot. To see if they are available.

Light image enhancements are automatically provided with your files. A range of professional retouching services are also available as an optional. These include evening up your eyes, removing lines or blemishes, brightening teeth. Through to double chins, jaw contouring, general body contouring and beyond. All our work looks natural and can be carried out to your specifications. 

We recommend avoiding strong patterns or logos as these tend to distract the eye and date over time. A shirt with a jacket is best for a full corporate look, or without a jacket for a more casual look for women. For men a suit jacket is the preferred option. Black or blue suits work well with white, grey or timber settings. Grey or blue suits and lighter colours work best with our environmental styles (see Galleries). Women’s tops may be without a collar however sleeves are recommended in most cases. Dresses without sleeves can work well but consider the focus of the shot is on the upper portion of your body unless you require a 3/4 of full body shots.

If you have any layouts of websites or printed material that will be displaying your new portrait, or if you have seen images that you like. It’s a good idea to send these to us a few days prior to the shoot. This will give us time to analyse the images and plan your shoot prior to the day. If you were unhappy with your previous business portrait you might like to bring it with you or send it to us as well. Anything else that will help you relax is also great music requests.

We recommend avoiding strong patterns or logos as these tend to distract the eye and date over time. A plainer shirt or top is best for an actors look as we normally only see your top half for headshots. For men, black, grey or earth colours work best. Women’s tops work well in most colours. Although it’s always good to remember that lighter and brighter colours draw the eye away from your face. So medium to darker colours are best to get noticed in your shots. For dancer’s and performers we suggest bringing along a few changes of clothes and costumes especially if we are shooting dance or more full length images showing off your movement/technique and body.

If you have seen images that you like. It’s a good idea to send these to us a few days prior to the shoot. This will give us time to analyse the images and plan your shoot prior to the day. If we are shooting a promo pack for instance with 3 individual looks think about a particular feel or role you may imagine yourself in for at least one of the shots.

If you have a talent or skill you would like to highlight bring along a suitable prop. If you are a musician/ performer then bring your instrument of choice or perhaps a nice microphone/stand so we can shoot a great onstage shot. Anything else that will help you get into the mood like great music requests for us to play during your session!
