I don’t post here very often, but last week was a busy one at Profile Photos and I wanted to share a bit of it.

Portraits for Good has wrapped up, with $1,050 raised for charities including Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, KidsCan, the Mental Health Foundation, WELLfed, HUHA and a couple of others.

That’s about half of what I’d hoped to raise, but still a really good result. Thank you to everyone who supported it.

I really enjoyed seeing how people used the sessions. Photos for themselves, with family and with close friends, sometimes coming back for more. Making it a bit more accessible to have those photos taken was quite lovely. Every session had its own moments.

Then on Saturday I ran a Halloween photo booth for families in Karori. I was hoping to photograph ten families. We ended up doing 37!

Thank you to everyone who came along and got in front of the camera. Trying something different with the Halloween booth was good for me, and I’d like to do more things like that.

This week looks a bit quieter, with two shoots booked and plenty of admin to catch up on. But before getting into that, here are a few photos from the charity sessions and Halloween.

Hey guys, where are you hiding?
Portraits for Good has been pretty quiet on the male front, so consider this your reminder that you’re absolutely invited too.
If your current profile photo is from years ago, cropped out of a wedding photo, or taken sitting in the car, this might be your sign.
$75 gets you a 10-minute shoot and one professionally retouched photo, with $50 from every booking going to charity.
Come solo, bring your partner, a mate, or even the dog.
Ten minutes. You’ll survive.

Nerida chose to support the Mental Health Foundation of NZ Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand through her Portraits for Good session.
A quick shoot, a few different looks, and $50 from her booking going towards a cause that matters.
That’s what this campaign is about. Come in, get a portrait you love, and support something good at the same time.

Serena kicked off Portraits for Good and chose to support Kites Trust with her session.
A few different looks, plenty of laughs, and $50 from her booking going to a Wellington charity she cares about.
This is exactly what I wanted the campaign to be about.
Come in, get a portrait you love, and support a cause that means something to you.

This is what Portraits for Good can look like.
Over the years I’ve photographed individuals, couples, families, friends and plenty of pets through these charity portrait sessions.
For $75, you get a 10-minute shoot and one professionally retouched photo, with $50 from your booking going to the charity you choose.
If you’ve been thinking about it, this gives you a pretty good idea of what you can walk away with.
Bookings are open for October.
Who would you bring with you?

I like my lighting like my coffee… backlit and strong.

Big octa behind = wrap
Black flag = attitude

No flag? Foggy mess.
Flag it? Clean edge.

Backlight first. Shape second.
Made this on a quiet gap between shoots.

Most people think colour gels don’t work.

They do… your lighting is just too even.

I’m using a blue gel and a CTO (orange) gel here.

But here’s the key:
You only see that colour in the shadows.

If you light everything evenly, the colours disappear.

So instead of flattening the light, let one side fall off.
Then push colour into that shadow.

Quick tip:
Turn each light on one at a time.
Make sure there’s actually shadow before adding the gels.

Sunny the golden retriever.

The kind of dog that makes you understand why people say “best mate.”

Photos like this aren’t really for today.
They’re for years from now.

If you’ve been meaning to get a proper portrait of your dog, consider this your sign.
