Welcome to my Professional Headshot Session!

In today's professional world, not having a headshot is like not having a business card. Your headshot helps build connections with clients and industry professionals, making you memorable. It's your opportunity to show clients and colleagues that you are approachable and professional. That's why it's essential to have a portrait that captures you in the best light and at the best angle, with a warm and inviting expression that reflects your true personality.

Stand out and make a lasting impression with a corporate portrait, headshot, or group photograph from David Pellerin Photography. With over 8 years of experience, I am dedicated to delivering first-class, sophisticated images. Whether at your office or in my studio, I ensure your photos reflect the professionalism and approachability you want to convey.

A professional headshot session time can last between 15-30 minutes for a single session. For big corporate groups, I try to allow 5 minutes window per individual to move forward as quick as possible!

What to wear for this type of session?

When selecting clothing for corporate portraits, it's important to consider the level of formality required and maintain consistency, especially for group photos. High-contrast combinations, such as a dark jacket paired with a white shirt and bold accessories, work well. Ensure clothing is freshly ironed, and avoid pastels and busy patterns for the best results.

Hair & Makeup Artists

For women, we recommend freshly styled hair, a light make up and for men, a recent haircut and a clean shave.

On-Site Requirements

If I am coming to your office, I will need a medium-sized room. I often use boardrooms and can shoot across the top of a boardroom table if space is tight.

Proofing & Image Selection

During our session, each person will have a chance to choose their own image with me as I am shooting tether and will show you on big screen every images we are shooting. After the shoot, I can also provide low-resolution proof copies of the images so you can select the final ones for retouching if it more convenient for you. Once I receive your selections, it will take a few days to finalize the retouching. I will then return the images per email link, where you will be able to download the digital images.

Retouching professional Headshot

I retouch all professional Headshot to enhance the final image. This often includes whitening the eyes and teeth, removing blemishes, and generally retouching for a polished and professional result.

Professional Headshot Pricing

• Single Headshot Session: $150

• Additional People: $25 per person

• Additional Images: $45 per image

A creative portrait or portfolio in photography is my artful representation that goes beyond traditional portraits, capturing the subject's personality, style, and story through imaginative and unique concepts. This type of photography involves using unconventional techniques, settings, and compositions to produce striking, visually engaging images. Here’s a deeper look at what makes my creative portraits and portfolios distinct:

Creative Portrait Photography

Concept and Theme: My creative portraits often center around a specific idea, theme, or story. I collaborate with the subject to develop a concept that reflects their personality, interests, or desired image. Themes can range from fantasy and surrealism to editorial and fashion-inspired looks.

Artistic Techniques: I utilize various artistic techniques such as dramatic lighting, unique angles, and innovative compositions. I might experiment with long exposures, double exposures, motion blur, or other effects to create a distinctive look.

Props and Costumes: Incorporating props, costumes, and makeup can transform a simple portrait into a compelling visual narrative. These elements add depth and context, enhancing the overall theme and helping to convey the subject's story or message.

Location and Setting: The setting plays a crucial role in my creative portraits. I often choose locations that complement the concept, whether it’s an urban landscape, a natural environment, or a specially designed studio set. The setting helps to create the desired mood and atmosphere.

Post-Processing: Editing is an essential part of my creative portrait photography. Post-processing techniques such as color grading, retouching, and compositing can enhance the artistic quality of the images, allowing me to fully realize my vision.

Portfolio

Creating a photo portfolio is essential, whether you're an artist or just passionate about photography. It showcases your best work, highlighting your skills, creativity, and personal style. A portfolio can help you attract clients, get noticed by galleries, or simply document your growth and achievements.

For artists, a portfolio is a powerful tool to demonstrate your talent and unique vision. It opens doors to professional opportunities like commissions, exhibitions, and networking with other creatives. It's your visual resume, showing what you can do and how you do it.

For individuals, having a portfolio can boost your career, especially if you're looking into freelance work or job opportunities in creative fields. It also helps you keep track of your progress and build confidence in your abilities. Plus, it's a great way to share your work online and connect with potential clients or collaborators.

MY SESSIONS

When you book a creative shoot with me, expect a relaxed atmosphere for about 4 hours where music sets the vibe and helps you feel completely comfortable. I love music too, so feel free to share your favorite artists!

I love Gaga and Pink!

Now, about pricing: Creative portraits typically range between $750 and $2000, depending on what you’re looking for and your specific needs.

Quick note: I don’t provide raw files. Raw files are the unprocessed data straight from the camera, not ready-to-view images. They require special software (like Photoshop or Lightroom) to decode and edit properly.

5. You hear your phone ringing. It’s me telling you your product are ready for pick up.

   Or your door bell rings! It is a post delivery of your online shopping cart purchases.

What is your photographic style?

I love to capture the real thing! In my sessions, I like to get kids to play so I can capture them candidly in their natural environment. There will be some standard family posing, however, I like capturing REAL people. You are beautiful the way you are, be it tall, short, thick or thin. I aim to pose you so you are looking your best in your photos, however, I don’t want to magically alter your appearance.

Can I get the raw images? NO NO NO! I don’t provide raw files. Raw files are the unprocessed data straight from the camera, not ready-to-view images. They require special software (like Photoshop or Lightroom) to decode and edit properly.

Do you edit photos yourself? Yes, I do edit all my photos myself with the help of the best and latest technology available today. Two of the few retouching software that I use are Lightroom and photoshop.

• All images will be professionally color corrected and edited using the highest quality programs.

• Scars, moles and lines are REAL. That means they stay, unless notified prior. Some basic corrections like skin softening is made in line with my style, however, should you wish for additional re-touching it will come at a small fee.

Can I come to the studio now? Unfortunately, you can not turn up to the studio without an appointment. I do run a professional photo studio from my home and do not want strangers or uninvited people nocking at my door, out of respect not only for me but my family. Please make an appointment.

What locations are best for a photo session?

We are so fortunate to have so many amazing locations here in Melbourne. We can meet up at the many parks, beaches and scenic areas, however, I do have a few locations up my sleeve in my studio area, if you are stuck in making a decision. I am open to shoot anywhere but a small travel might apply if we are over a 15km radius of the studio.

Can I see all the images taken on the day?

I aim to provide you with only the BEST images taken on the day. This means all test shots, blinkies, unflattering images and any others which don't meet my criteria are deleted.

What is the best time of day to take photos?

Photography is all about LIGHT. Great light consists of even, soft and flattering light. This means either early morning or late afternoon. Bright sunny conditions don’t lend to good portrait images as they can cause harsh shadows to appear, which can look very unflattering. If circumstances require your session to be held during the midday sun we will need to find a location with suitable shade.

What payments do you accept?

I accept cash, direct deposit.

How long does a Family session last?

My family Portrait session are 1 hour minimum

What should we wear?

The general rule is to wear what you LOVE and feel comfortable with it. But when you book your headshots or family portrait session with me you will be provided with my "What to wear" guide, where you will find all information to look your best for the session.
