Hire the best portrait photographers in Glenelg

Portrait photography is not only one of the most coveted professions at the moment, but also the most difficult. Portrait photography emerged in the middle of the 19th century. Portrait photography is a timeless mirror reflection. It allows you to physically show a person or a face. It is also a way to express a sense of self. A portrait photographer can take different types of portraits. He can capture people in motion or at a specific event.

Portrait photographer

5045 Glenelg
I do special events like birthdays parties, pregnancy photo shoots, and the last one was a small and intimate wedding. Currently experimenting with drones. Happily Australian I was born and raised in Mexico City. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Architecture. While my background has always been architecture and construction I’m constantly experimenting with different photography techniques which play a large part in my understanding of proportion, layout, composition, lighting, and many other factors that directly relate to architectural compositions. Finally, after relocating to Australia in January 2014, I decided to start following my dream by getting enrolled onto Photo imaging -Certificate IV - at the Centre for Creative Photography (CCP) in Adelaide. That same month we received the best news that newlyweds could receive, a new member of the family would come to make us even happier, our daughter Mia.

Sue has always taken amazing photos of me and the many people I have worked with in the music industry over the past 20 years. She has a great eye and she knows just what is needed to get a great pic and make me look fantastic. Her portrait and studio shots are equally as good as her live shots and her outdoor shots, demonstrating her versatility and excellence as a photographer. I have travelled widely and whenever I manage to make it back to Adelaide, I always make a point of getting some new pics with Sue, because I know she is good.. and I don't want to miss the opportunity, because I know that she will take the time to make sure I have exactly what I came for.

Studio Paris Photography
24

Portrait photographer

5000 Adelaide10.6 km from Glenelg
Style is quiet. It sings rather than shouts. Style is a city like Paris; elegant, confident, always contemporary, never a copy. Cue Studio Paris. Talent photography is an artform in the right hands, art inspired by timeless grace and inventive modernity. Rather than mere fashion, Studio Paris shoots for something both classical and previously unseen, with big nods to a sharp design aesthetic and a certain independent musicality. Way beyond pretty. From their very Parisian arcade loft, Studio Paris creates talent portfolios for the all the usuals - men, women, groups, hair, etc - but they do so with a style literate panache that eschews the so-so makeover in favour of character. Sure, these are models but here too they are human beings; glamorous, moody, vulnerable, mysterious and, yeah, sexy too. It's no small feat to take a straight model shoot to a higher level. Studio Paris take it to Europe and back, diverting along the way through slick chic, rock gusto and leftfield dash. Talent Photography gets soul again. Paris? Yeah you know you wanna go there.
