What a wonderful find! Couldn’t believe our luck to have a caring and professional person take our 10yr wedding anniversary pics. Recreated some beautiful memories and included our 4 children, without a fuss. Nothing was too hard. A gentleman and a professional! Couldn’t fault him or the result. Perfect photos exactly what we asked for and more! Thanks again Evan!

What does portrait photography include?

Our professional portrait photography service focuses on capturing a person's facial features while emphasising on their identity, personality and emotions. It doesn't necessarily need to take place in a studio; it could be taken outdoors or indoors, at the park, in a garden, or anywhere as long as it won't distract the portrait subject. If you're planning to get a professional portrait photo, here are some of the services that you can book from us:

Black and white portrait photography

Black and white portrait photography remains a long-standing favourite in the world of photography. Even in this digital age, it is the only genre that can produce the most dramatic and soulful photos. Our portrait photographers can plan the perfect B&W setting for you. Skilled and professional, they know the best way to balance the light and darkness for maximum impact.

Creative portrait photography

With creative shots, our creative portrait photographers step out of the usual static pictures. For a twist, they may use a few props, a unique costume, or a backup story. They may also take photos in different angles–from the ground, side, or even from behind. If you want to know how they produce creative portraits, you can ask your photographer to give you a few samples before you proceed with the photoshoot.

Studio portrait photography

While it seems similar to headshot photography, studio portrait photography is a little less formal and it presents photos in a more artistic way. For this shoot, your photographer handles the lighting scheme, the backdrop, the combinations of colours and textures. All you have to do is show up with your best look and outfit, and prepare your unique poses.

Light portrait photography

The key to successful light portraits is mastering the different lighting patterns and techniques. Even with just a single light, your photographer can produce portrait photos with that focus on all sorts of emotions. But that's not all. They can also take creative shots using reflective props such as fairy lights, lamps, prisms, or disco balls. With the right camera settings adjusted to the lighting requirements, you can enjoy a stunning light portrait photo that is worth space in your social media, or your photo book.

Editing and Printing

Through our platform, you'll find skilled Taskers who can also assist you with the photo retouches and editing. According to your needs, they can remove any unwanted details, add artistic effect, modify lights and tones, and more. Edited photos are sent through email or with a USB stick. Want them on canvas? Our Taskers can also organise printing of your final portrait photos and deliver them straight to your doorstep.

Melbourne City VIC. Australia

Hi guys, I’m looking for a photographer taking for me some portraits pictures around Melbourne (i need them for my travel website and I need around 20 good pictures - i’m a photographer as well). The problem is that i don’t think can be done in the some day because i have different locations in my mind like: • Brighton beach • cbd • riverside (where is the pedestrian bridge and around that area) • point ormond view (where is a hill with the skyline of the city) • a random park in melbourne for some more nature photos We can organize also multiple session 2 or 3 (i don’t really mind to be honest) As preference i like photos with lenses with a low aperture (2.8 or 1.8) Any questions write down please 🙏 - Due date: Flexible

Indoor portrait photography

$300

Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

11th Aug 2023

I need a portrait photographer to take a few pro shots of me. I am a young artist whose debut book is coming out next year with a US publisher. The pics will be used in: • the book itself (author page), • publicity materials, and • other promo. I need to have the full photo rights. The one-off payment for this task will be the only payment given. I’m happy to credit you. You are free to use the photos anywhere you want. Budget: This needs to be pretty affordable because I will be using my personal funds. The publisher is not funding this. I am a young debut author who works a part-time day job. I’m happy to discuss. Regardless of budget, this will be an amazing job to have on your portfolio! Benefits of working for me: I’m an influencer with 65,000 followers. I can share the pics on my socials with credits. The pics will also be used in my book, and the publisher’s promo campaigns. You can get your photography out to a US and international audience. Who I need: • Someone with experience in indoor portrait photography. • A photographer who can provide a professional set up – professional lighting, etc. • Someone with access to a studio, or any kind of space that can be professionally lit. A small makeshift space (that is professionally lit) – for e.g., a garage – is also fine! I just need some place with white walls! • Someone who can provide examples of previous work. DETAILS: • Around 5 shots – different outfits and themes. However, we can negotiate this number – I’m okay to have fewer photos if needed. It all depends on your rates and how long you think this will take! • Props & art direction provided by me. • The main photos can be edited by you, if that’s what your services include. But happy to discuss. • I will need you to also send me all the photos – including bad ones. These won’t need to be edited. Photo concepts to be discussed when you reach out. Thanks! I can meet anywhere. Dates are available too (before 17 Sept).
