Our process
We take natural photos that celebrate you and capture a special moment in time. We use soft-shadow lighting and lens technique and aim to show you at your best. We do light retouching of any blemishes and optimise the colour and vibrancy of the photos that you select.
Sessions are with Tin Dog Studio photographer and cinematographer Campbell. His background as a visual storyteller helps him work with people to bring across their vision and tell their unique story.
The photo sessions are collaborative and relaxed. The shots can be as conventional or creative as you wish and we discuss your vision for the shots beforehand. We advise on clothing or props you might bring that say something you want to say or even show you in a new light. We are inclusive and non-judgemental and simply wish to bring out the best of you.
We provide you with optimised and retouched digital images in useful sizes for online use or for printing by you or our local craft printer. We don’t arrange framing but can size the photos for superb quality prints and give you a list of the best picture framers locally and online.
How it works
Free 15-minute consultation
Drop by, book a call or join Campbell on zoom for a free planning chat. Just message us or book 15 minutes on the schedule.
We discuss in detail what kind of portrait you need and how you would like to present yourself. We can advise and plan on clothing to bring and make-up and hair options.
The Photo Session
If possible, arrive half an hour before your session to prepare.
Bring clothes to the session that express your vision and in which you feel good. It’s best to bring 2-3 clothing options and we can photograph more than one. Very often shirts, dresses or suits which have a slightly darker colour than your skin tone can look good as the darker collar frames your face. But we can work with and complement all clothing with our in-house lighting and design.
You can bring props, pets, hats, objects or other things which express how you feel at this moment in time, but you can also just come as you are.
Make-up and hair
Some attention to hair and make-up is advised beforehand so you look your best on the day. Men usually only need light powder to reduce glare, which we can provide. You can do your own hair and make-up on-site in our dressing room, included in the price. Simple combs, brushes, powder, hairspray, etc, are available.
OR have your own hair done before the session at your chosen hairdresser.
OR contact one of our list of trusted local hair or makeup artists and visit them just beforehand. See list of providers and prices in the booking form and your welcome email. Some are available on-site for groups of two or more. Contact us for this on-site option.
