Inspired by television lighting from the ’50s and ’60s, and made popular by Venture Photography in the ’00s, this portrait style is bold clean and contemporary. Generally, these are shot with a white background and they all about creating a series of images that are stunning individually but also work great as a collection laid out in single or multiple frames. So if you’re style is contemporary and you like statement portraits this one is for you.
How it’s done
We set up a white background and light it evenly, crank up the tunes from your favourite playlist and the fun begins. We’ll get you in a series of poses, individually, in groups, with pets, with props – Whatever works for you.
This style works best for
- People who want a portrait that captures their unique personality
- Families who want to tell their story
- Generating groups of shots that work well together in multi-picture layouts
- Headshots for websites
What should I wear?
- Select clothing with a colour palette that is bright and bold so you pop against the white background
- Avoid logoed clothing that dates quickly – Think about how your favourite One Direction tee might look now
What should I bring?
- Your a-game – These shoots are fun and energetic
- A sense of fun – Be ready to laugh and dance
- Props that tell us all about you – musical instruments, sports equipment, silly hats, sunglasses – Whatever is essentially you.
