Session Guide & Headshots Price List
Professional Headshot & Portrait Session
Session Guide For Individual Photoshoots
I design my photoshoots around your requirements, no 2 shoots are the same. I only run 3 headshot sessions per day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
This allows you as much time as you need. The sessions are not time-limited and you can relax and take your time. That said, I won’t keep you any longer than needed as I know your time is precious.
Atherton Photo Studio is a private studio. there will be me and you. Occasionally I may have an assistant with me. I would never stop you from bringing one person with you, especially ladies, but best results are usually obtained when you’re on your own with no distractions. (Under 18’s must have an adult with them.)
The studio is clean and tidy and disinfected between shoots.
Headshot & Portrait Coaching
I will coach you every step.
Because I don’t have 30 min sessions or 60 min sessions, we are not restricted. I will have the time to show you how to get the best images of yourself you have ever had! How to stand and ‘pose’.
Once I know what you’re going to use your headshots or images for, I will perfect the lighting then discuss the composition and expressions with you.
My aim is quality, not quantity, I don’t cram people through the doors or take hundreds of meaningless photos.
Quality over quantity, every time!
You have never had a headshot before
I don't know how to pose for portraits
I hear this all the time so join the club. This is what I do, trust me, we will get there.
It should not surprise you that no one is an expert in having a headshot or portrait taken, we will work together.
Getting you a fabulous portrait headshot is just as important to me as it is to you. We will be looking to obtain that stunning image that captures confidence and approachability. It may happen straight away, it may take time, it does not matter, were not clock watching. I want you to look confident and relaxed and in control, which you are. If you don’t like the look of anything, just say so.
We will still have plenty of time to go through all your costume changes.
I will coach you on everything you will need to know from expressions, angles, hair, best costume colour and style.
Bring your sense of humour!
Having fun is serious business and serious business, can be fun!
I love taking headshots, the interaction, the banter so I hope you relax and enjoy the experience.
Checking as we go.
There will be time for a sneaky peak. All the images are transferred to my laptop as we work through. I will show you a couple of the pictures as we go to help your confidence but we will save the best to the end.
The session doesn't finish until you've selected your favourites.
At the end of the photoshoot its time to sit down and have a coffee. We can then view all the images and pick out your favourite shots.
I can help you if you want or I can keep quiet. It is up to you if you want my input.
Once you have picked and paid for all your favourite images they will be sent for professional editing, retouching and cropping. This process will be explained to you on the day.
Your images will be uploaded to my gallery for you to download. You will be able to download high-resolution Jpegs suitable for posters and low-resolution images suitable for social media. That will save you the trouble of re-sizing and cropping the shots after you receive them.
