I was approached a few weeks ago by Olivia who was looking for a business headshot photographer Godalming. I was delighted to help her with some headshots. These were to be used for interviews and courses that were coming up for her. We took the headshots in the studio garden. This allowed us to take the pictures using a variety of backgrounds and have a couple of changes of clothes. In addition we can see the pictures straight after on the big screen in the viewing room. At this stage you get to see all the pictures we take and narrow it down to your favourite choice. The session includes three high resolution digital files. You are welcome to buy more (as did Olivia). But three are included in the package price of £150.
Olivia is a natural beauty as you can see. But quite often people ask if they can have an extra little retouch in photoshop. I am happy to do as much or as little as you like. However I generally advise people that a little is enough, the portraits should still look like you. Although ‘you’ on a good day (one where we have woken up after 12 hours sleep with clear skin!!). The before and after pictures below demonstrate where I have edited. For example I have reduced the under eye shadow, retouched the skin and lightened the eyes. Although the difference may not be visible if viewing on a mobile device!
Kind Review
After the session Olivia kindly gave me a 5* review. “Absolutely fabulous experience working with Nicola, she completely put me at ease during the photos and had lots of lovely ideas and helpful professional advice. She was quick to contact me and slot me in for a session which was immensely helpful for my busy schedule. The studio and surroundings are lovely and I was extremely happy with the result of my session. Would definitely recommend.”
My absolute pleasure Olivia, I am glad you were pleased with the experience and results. I certainly enjoyed meeting you and think your headshots are fabulous! Thank you for choosing me and good luck with your interviews and course.
If you are looking for more information on headshots, please see my headshot page, gallery or past blogs. Do get in touch to discuss. I look forward to hearing from you.
