Meet Peter..

Pete needed an acting portfolio, he booked in two photoshoots to showcase different sides of his character.

He ordered 40 digital images ready to put forward for different roles in movies and tv series!

Just sharing the suave side in these images, but we also took images of his silly side and we did an outdoors country scene with his dirt bike for the 2nd session.

He was a barrel of laughs to work with.

It's nearly tax time you still have time to book in this month, professional photography for business purposes are 100% tax deductible!

Did you know that my work used to sell for $1,200 for just 5 digital images?

This was over 10 years ago!!
at Starshots Photography in Brisbane.

And did you know.. that I offer even better photography now for only a small fraction of that price.

Why?
Because I don’t pay a whole team to do the make-up, hair, photography, viewings, editing, admin or rent a commercial space.

I do it all myself!

City - Glamour Studio photography available to you in Gippsland!! for only a fraction of the price with a Professional Photographer with 18 years experience.

And imagine what those studios charge now!

So what are you waiting for? The link is in the bio, see you soon.

I encouraged her mum to attend the photo viewing, she wasn’t here while her daughter had her make-up done and the photoshoot in the studio.

I knew that there was something special here she needed to see of her daughter.

She is just 19 years old, she presents as grounded, deep and mature, there is just something about her that is intriguing.

Her parents scored a voucher from the real estate agent.
They couldn’t see themselves doing a photoshoot but the daughter jumped at the chance as it has been something she has always wanted to do!

She opted for fairly natural make-up and I styled her hair with soft waves.

In the studio we explored different facets of her personality.. fun, raw, vulnerable and sensual.

It flowed from one look to the next effortlessly, being sentimental she brought along her dad’s glasses and acquired her mum’s blue and gold scarf.

We played with the objects in different ways and when we put it over her head, her energy become ethereal and the word Madonna came to mind..

Can you see it too?

It wasn’t just a case of her being a pretty girl, but rather a young woman soul behind the eyes with a soft and quiet strength about her.

For another look she wore trackies with socks, a bra and hoodie and the final look was simple in black, we wet her hair to add another dimension.

Mum sat down with her and we started the slideshow, 70 images on the screen flashed by, I sat fairly quiet to watch her reaction, she was taken aback and said wow this is art! ✨️

This girl studies full-time and works on the side, she knew the prices of the packages and saved up some money before the viewing.

She ordered 6 large matted prints and mum got her favourite one! Printed on archival paper designed to keep well beyond her later years. 🫶

Everyone has their days right feeling a bit blah or stress in their life, I am no different.

For me when I know I have a photoshoot coming up there's certain steps I take to set my state so I am at my best for my clients no matter what is going on in my personal life.

The biggest feedback I get is that people feel relaxed, comfortable and confident when they are here.

Keep in mind that they don't turn up that way; we just met and they are reluctant about doing the photoshoot.

Strange place + strange blonde 😆

Here are the steps that I take to create the relaxed environment for your shoot

✔️I get a good night's sleep the night before and eat well, this is important.

✔️I am well organised, I've made a pose and lighting plan and I know all of your family members names!
I read over your questionnaire answers and remember our pre session conversations.

✔️ I get ready early and am playing the music that you like when you arrive. Heaters on, studio tidy.

✔️ Then I choose my attitude and I'm good to go!

I decided to respond to the one person who messaged me about the video I shared editing this client’s image.

Everyone has a right to their opinion based on the lens in which they choose to look through.

“I can’t believe that you had the balls to put that up for everyone to see!!! Have you had any negative feedback regarding that editing of images in these kinds of shoots is a bad thing” Words from a fellow bo***ir photographer.

I knew where they were coming from but also realised how much context was missing for them to build an understanding.

With SM any posts; they can be perceived a thousand different ways, it would be impossible for every person to see it the way it is intended.

This particular client was creating videos on her phone and taking selfies while I was doing her hair and make-up, the filters used were heavily altering.
This told me that this is what she likes and is accustomed to.

It is not my job to form opinions.
My values include taking people as they are, accepting them. I naturally see the best in people and that is why I am good at what I do.

People trust me.

Straight off the camera she loved the images and we had a chat about the editing, I sent her a few images early and she loved them!

As you can see from the images the editing was not focused on making her skinnier but rather deliver on a more professional polished finish, I respected her wishes with what she wanted.

I find people interesting and have learnt to embrace our differences, who makes you.. you and me.. me.

Thank you for supporting me in supporting others.

I have my own values, style and preferences and anyone close to me knows what I stand for.

At the end of the day I offer a service and my job is to work with the client with what their requirements are, whether that be bo***ir, corporate or with family sessions. Of course within reason.

People always share with me their personal stories, I only share these with permission as I do not wish to exploit people on SM, so sometimes posts can lack context for this reason.

In a world where people are completely replaced by cartoons what's your thoughts?

Kris ✌️
