Hair and Make-up
Do you need professional hair and make-up?
We strongly recommend that at the very least you get a trim or haircut before your shoot.
Ladies, for Personal Branding Sessions we can arrange a Professional Hair & Make-up artist for you at the studio or if you choose to do your own make-up, do it as if you were going to a barbecue to meet a friend that you haven’t seen for a while. You want to look great, but don’t over do it and if in doubt, less is always more!
Gents, we can supply a light face powder to reduce imperfections and reduce face shine from oils in the skin.

Image Style
At your free personalized pre-shoot consultation we work with you to identify the type of image that your business needs, the mood you wish to project and the appropriate expressions eg: approachable, professional, knowledgeable, warm & friendly.
The style of photography, lighting, background colour and direction required is then created to suit your brief.
We’re flexible! If you have a distinctive style of photography that you would like us to maintain, we can easily mirror that style or lighting setup, to maintain your firm’s existing corporate image.
The Melbourne Headshot Company believes in putting its’ money where its’ mouth is.
Our Philosophy is this..
“If we produce images that are not to your total satisfaction, we don’t deserve your business. Here’s what we’ve done to guarantee that the product you end up with is the one you were expecting to get in the first place”.
You are guaranteed to receive the best possible service and quality. We guarantee it 100%. If you are not happy with your final images, simply tell us before your session ends and we will re-shoot entirely at our expense. If you are still not happy when your session ends, you don’t pay!
This guarantee means that you have the ultimate peace of mind when you book the Melbourne Headshot Company to shoot your portraits!
