PORTRAIT - SINGLE & GROUP  PRICING

Portraits can be done in studio with pre-planned background choices or at an external location (inside or outside). 

A location charge of $50.00 (subject to distance) and equipment surcharge may be applied. Surcharge varies depending on equipment required and if an assistant is also required. This will be determined at time of booking.

If only a headshot is requested, please refer to portrait pricing and packages.

If more details are required on the differences between headshot and portrait photography, please refer to portrait and headshot photography pages.

LIGHTING STYLES

Depending on the required use of the photo, there are two main lighting styles with multiple variations on them. The "general lit" and the more "dynamic" high contrast. Below is an example of the two contrasting lighting styles as used in the below "couples" photography example. If you have a preference, or wish a combination of the two, please specify prior to the photo shoot. In group photography, the more general lit approach is typically used.
