What can I use this session for?

You’re free to tailor this session to suit your personal or professional needs! Whether you’re looking for a polished LinkedIn headshot, actor headshots, or artist portraits showcasing your work, we’ll create images that authentically represent your online presence.

What am I getting?

We're providing three different packages to choose from for your portrait session. Each package will include your own selection from a mix of half and full body shots, and close-ups. All images will be colour corrected and lightly retouched as needed (as we do favour a more realistic and natural look!). Your set of photos will be delivered within one month of the day of your shoot via WeTransfer or Google Drive.

How much is a session?

• Inclusive Package — Students / Recent Graduates / On Benefits: £55 for 4 colour images

• Standard Package: £85 for 4 colour images (+ 2 of the images in black & white)

• Plus Package: £130 for 6 images (all in colour and black & white)
  
  What can I expect during the shoot?
