Short Portrait + Promo Sessions

Great photos don't always need a big production.

Sometimes you just need a handful of strong new images.

These 25-minute sessions are a simple, affordable way to update your headshots, get some fresh portraits, or create new promo images without the time and expense of a full studio shoot.

25 minutes · 3 finished images · $195

What can we shoot?

These sessions are designed to be flexible.

You might need a straightforward new headshot. You might want some more relaxed portraits for your website or socials. Or you might be a performer who needs a few characterful promo images for an upcoming show.

They're particularly well suited to actors, comedians, magicians, burlesque artists, circus artists, children's entertainers, musicians and other performers and creatives.

If you’re a performer, you’re welcome to bring a costume or a couple of simple props if they're part of what you do.

Keeping things simple

These sessions work best for headshots, portraits and relatively simple promo ideas.

The shorter session and smaller studio are what allow me to offer them at $195, so they're not designed for elaborate productions involving large props, lots of movement, multiple setups or more complex creative concepts.

If you've got something bigger in mind, get in touch and we can plan a full promo shoot instead.

Otherwise, if you just need some really good new photos, book yourself in.

What’s included

  • 25-minute photography session

  • 3 professionally edited and retouched images of your choice

  • Private online gallery to choose your favourites

  • Additional images available for $55 each

Sessions take place at my home studio in Thomastown.

Because these are short sessions in a smaller space, they’re best suited to headshots, portraits and relatively simple promo ideas. If you’re after something more elaborate, involving lots of movement, large props, multiple setups or a full studio production, get in touch and we can plan a larger shoot instead.

“Dan was fantastic to work with for getting my new headshots and portraits.

He was easy to communicate with while organizing the shoot and made me feel comfortable in the studio, offering a bunch of great prompts to help with poses.

The turnaround time for the edited photos was super quick, and the results were exactly what I was looking for! Highly recommended, and I would absolutely work with Dan again”

- Morgan Wilson

“Dan created a comfortable and casual environment, so we were able to snap loads of great images to pick from in literally no time.

I really appreciate Dan’s background in circus and physical theatre, it’s given him a lot of valuable direction skills when it comes to making minute adjustments to posing which in turn gave me a large variety of stills to choose from, big fan”

“I had my headshots taken by Dan recently. It was a great experience, he was professional, easy going and fun to shoot with!”
