Approach

Life can be hectic and we often don’t take the time to slow down. When making portraits, I have found that taking away time restraints leads to a more enjoyable process and thus creating better results. This gives me the ability to approach each headshot and portrait session with a singular focus. When you book the creative session, I will not take on another project that day. I prefer this way of working because it provides the space for us to engage in the process in a relaxed and unhurried manner. Also, I make bad coffee when rushing.

Without this time limit, it allows for as many outfit changes as you want and the ability to experiment with different backdrops or even to take the shoot outdoors.

Alternatively, the standard 2-3 hour session follows a similar unrushed process but in a more condensed format.

After the session, we will have time to select the images for editing, retouching and colour grading. This is an essential part of the process and I believe it should be done together as sifting through hundreds of images of yourself in isolation can be a very daunting task.  The post production process normally takes up to 5 working days depending on how many images have been selected.
