The worry1 of 6
You do not have to
be good at this.
A bad headshot is rarely a face problem. It is a comfort problem.
The photos you hate were taken in a hurry, with you tense and unsure what to do with your hands.

You look like yourself,
at your best. Guaranteed.
100% satisfaction, every time. You relax and let me work, then I hand-pick your best frames and the Living Image Retouching Team retouches them by hand.
If none of them is quite the one, I choose another, retouched for you at no charge. In 40+ years and 6,300 faces, no one has left unhappy.
A full reshoot is yours if you ever want it, though in all that time I have never once needed it.

The way people
remember the experience.
“Simon is calm and patient and made the whole experience effortless.”
“He was very professional and kept us all engaged by being helpful and adding humor and clarity on what we were doing.”
“He takes care to get to know clients so he can then reflect their personalities in his work.”
Liz Hall calls herself “very photo shy”. She wrote that Simon’s encouragement let her relax, and natural photographs followed.

What else
is on your mind?
How much do professional headshots cost in Melbourne?
Individual professional headshots are $349 (The Executive), $497 (The Professional) or $1,495 (My Personal Brand), booked online.
Each includes the sitting, retouching and finished photographs sized for your website, LinkedIn, socials, print and email signature.
What should I wear for a professional headshot?
Solid, mid-tone colours photograph best: navy, charcoal, burgundy, plum, emerald and muted blues, plus soft off-whites and pastels.
Avoid pure white and pure black, busy stripes, spots and fine patterns that shimmer on camera, and heavy jewellery that pulls the eye off your face.
Keep it simple, clean, comfortable and flattering to your figure. We send you simple guidance before the day, and there is a full guide to what to wear.
How long does a session take?
From 30 minutes for The Executive, up to two hours on location for My Personal Brand. You do not need to prepare anything beyond knowing what to wear, which we tell you in advance.
What if I hate having my photo taken?
That is exactly who I am best with. A bad headshot is rarely a face problem, it is a comfort problem.
40+ years of putting nervous people at ease means the shot looks like the best, most natural version of you, not a stiff corporate mugshot.
What if I do not like my photos?
You relax and let me work, then I hand-pick your best frames and the Living Image Retouching Team retouches them by hand. If none of them is quite the one, I choose another, retouched for you at no charge.
In 40+ years and 6,300 faces, no one has left unhappy. A full reshoot is yours if you ever want it, though I have never once needed it.
Can you come to my office?
Yes. Wherever you are, I come to you: your office, your home or on location, across Melbourne, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula, with no travel cost, or the Melbourne CBD studio if you prefer. Somewhere further? Ask; it's usually just a matter of the date. If you need your whole team done in one visit, that is our Team Headshot Day.
Should I just use AI headshots instead?
You can, but AI headshots tend to look like a polished stranger: subtly not you, and colleagues and clients notice.
A real photograph is actually you on a good day. For a profile people trust, real wins.
