Portrait Photography
sharing your story, helping you to shine.
Portrait photography can take the form of more formal photographs taken in a studio, or portraits shot in context, such as one’s workspace or home. It all depends on the story or message you want to capture and share and I can work with you to establish what would work best for you.
I draw from my experience as a stylist to guide clients through the elements that make a portrait shoot exceptional. This includes location, clothing and accessories and how to hold and position themselves in front of the camera.
Building rapport to help you feel confident in front of the camera.
Where possible I meet with clients before shoot day. It is critical that clients feel confident and relaxed in front of the camera and breaking the ice like this establishes trust and rapport. It is through this that clients open up and then their true selves emerge and shine through in their photographs.
“At our first shoot, Emma's calm, positive and professional presence immediately put me at ease and allowed me to relax and to be genuinely myself. The results are stunning and give my website a highly professional and authentic look”. Franziska, Bumblebee Bakery.
I work both locally here in Taranaki as well as across New Zealand with business owners, professionals and anyone in need of a portrait to tell their story. Get in touch or book in a free discovery call if you would like to know more.
