Business, Corporate & Personal Branding Portraits

Business, Corporate & Personal Branding Portraits Christchurch, New Zealand.

If your on the net promoting yourself in anyway you need a great profile picture!

Either for your website, Linkedin, Facebook, Google, articles, pdf’s or even wikipedia - a great profile picture will make you look far more professional. It creates a relationship, makes you more trustworthy, bring you in more business.

I will shoot in my studio or any location you choose. Give great art direction, work well to briefs, match existing images styles & provide very professional and realistic retouching if need be.

If you would like chat about your image requirements, please feel free to get in touch. I will be delighted to hear from you.

Extra Info:

What to wear - Wear what you, your family and friends think you look best in. If you're not quite sure bring 2 or 3 tops, ties and extra bling. Go with your vibe. My only thing is no creases in the tops. Tough to photoshop out. Best to check prior and iron if need be. If a crease does appear we can easily iron it here.

Hair and Makeup - Totally up to you. How you like. If you are not sure I can recommend and organise the best makeup artist & hairstylists I know in this town. $150 for makeup or $190 for hair and makeup. You may want to visit your hairdresser / makeup store just prior the shoot for a quick style or feel confident getting a friend or just doing it all yourself. 

The session - Expect the entire session to be around half to a good hour but it's so much fun it seems very quick. We chat for a few minutes then jump right into it. We can tether to a computer so after a few shots we look at the screen and work out if what you are wearing is the right thing or do we change tops, ties or necklaces and see what looks better. We also check your hair, body, posture, face angles, expressions etc.. and aim to improve if need be. It's quite a cool experience for you. We may be very happy with what we got or we shoot some more till we get the shot. We then sit down on a large monitor and pick our favourites.

After you have left I get on to tweaking your pictures. I start with a crop then colour and exposure balance, clean up dust, hair and marks on clothing,,, take out zits but keep in moles (unless you tell me to). I lessen wrinkles if you like but don’t totally take them out otherwise you don’t look realistic, trust me. The post-production (editing on the computer afterwards) is crucial to have an awesome picture. These days it makes or breaks of what is a good photographer. Some photographers go overboard and you don’t look real but looks like you done it on a terrible skin softening app. Some photographers don’t do anything and that usually typically ends up with you having dark pink skin. I make you look like you are just a beautiful cool intelligent approachable honest fun person.

My goal is to provide you with your picture(s) within 72 hours unless the portrait is an emergency.

Reprints & Enlargements - Nearly all business portraits these days are for the net. But you may want a print like maybe for a gift. If so you can order reprints and enlargements easily through me for no fee (only what the lab charges for the cost of printing). This is excellent after sales service. So a 6x4 inch reprint = $1, 5x7 inch = $3, A4 (8x12 or 8x10 inch) size print = $10.
