Social Media Profile Photos – Oakley

Posted on September 11, 2016 //

I recently ran a series of Headshot photoshoot sessions taking photos primarily for Business/Corporate and Social Media Profile Photos…. I particularly enjoyed the photoshoot with Oakley… she was bubbly and natural and we took loads of great photos that captured her personality well…  Below are a few of my favourites :

Corporate Headshots – Special Event

Posted on September 11, 2016 //

I recently organised a couple of special Corporate Headshot Sessions, which I promoted to my Brisbane Business Club Meetup members.  Over a couple of mornings , we had a dozen or so members book in for special one hour studio sessions.

These sessions were a great success… everyone seemed to have fun, and walked away with a USB with 100+ Headshots to choose from… We will probably run events like this again in the future.

If you are interested in having Business Headshots taken to improve your Social Media Profile… or would like to organise a fun photo session with a few of your friends… please give Andy a call on 0403 023 223, or Contact Us

Here are a selection of shots from the days :

Portrait Photos & Headshots for All Occasions

Posted on July 15, 2016 //

I’ve been asked recently to do more and more portrait photos and headshots… but a headshot is not just a headshot…

What is important when doing headshots is to determine what the planned purpose of the photo is…. a Corporate Headshot is very different to one you would use for your Facebook Profile, which again is probably different to the one on your website, on LinkedIn or on Tinder :)….

When I do headshots, I like to do a variety of poses and expressions… some more serious, for your corporate/business image… others more casual or fun for your social media profiles.

Here are some random headshots from some recent photoshoots….
