Tamara McLaughlin - Up and coming Brisbane Actress

in ,

Where to begin with Tamara, wow! This amazingly talented Brisbane based actress has recently completed her Advanced Diploma of Film, Television and Theatre Acting at The Actors Workshop here in Brisbane and is out to make her name in the world of film. Tamara made the decision to get new headshots soon after graduating knowing that she would need the best possible headshots to get started with an agency and to get her face out there. Tamara made a great decision and booked a Folio Package with me which allowed her enough time during her shoot to try a number of different looks and make the most of her time with me to give her all the options she needed. Here's what Tamara had to say about her experience -

"During the shoot Tyler was calm, friendly and such a delight; a true professional. After looking through the images, I couldn't be more impressed. Tyler Alberti is very talented and such a breath of fresh air."

Alannah Keating, Brisbane Actress, headshot photography with a smile!

in

Today I want to introduce my latest super actress to step in front of my fancy image maker device - Alannah Keating. I met up with Alannah to shoot some new headshots in New Farm to give her a much needed update to her previous headshots. For Alannah's headshot session, we mixed natural afternoon light with a new lighting tool called the Westcott Ice Light which is basically a super fancy lightsaber looking LED light that you can use to give you beautiful and natural looking window light to anyone almost anywhere - the second and last photos below utilise the Westcott Ice Light and if you look closely you can see the unique catchlights in Alannah's eyes!

These are just some of the many combinations of shots and lighting techniques that I will utilise during one of my headshot photography sessions and Im always trying to new things to keep your new headshots looking fresh and ahead of the market!

Here are a few kind words that Alannah had to say about her shoot -

"His precision and focus paired with his ability to make you feel completely relaxed in front of the camera was a winning combination. He was fully open to suggestion and wasn’t afraid to take risks. The headshots Tyler took for me are by far the best I have received."

So what are you waiting for, give me a call, now is the time for you to update your professional image and start getting the jobs you want!

Headshot Photography - About Retouching

in ,

I get asked a lot about the retouching of my headshots and I also get asked if people can have the RAW or unedited photos from a shoot. I wanted to write this little post to provide a little more information as to why I don't give out unedited images and what goes into making a unique Tyler Alberti headshot. 

First and for most consider this; Would an architect deliver unfinished house plans to a builder and say here you go, enjoy? Or would a graphic designer deliver artwork to a printer without any of the text/content? No, the same thing applies to photography, and my headshots have a unique look and feel to them that I am happy to put my name on. 

So take a look at my sample images below, on the left you can see my straight out of camera image or RAW file and on the right you can see my finished and retouched image that I would deliver to the client. I won't go into how I do my retouching but the image below was worked on in photoshop for about 15 minutes and every single image that my clients choose as part of their package will get this same retouching applied!

Asher Bowen-Saunders - Brisbane Model + Contemporary Dancer

in ,

I recently met Asher whilst assisting on a photo shoot for South Bank Corporation, and we got chatting about updating her headshots. Asher is a QUT graduate of a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance. Not only did Asher want some new headshots for extra and modelling work, she also wanted some images that showed her physique rather than your typical headshot. Here are some of her final images which turned out fantastic!

"Having my headshots done by him was such a positive experience and I would definitely do it again and recommend him to others. He gave brilliant direction and artistic suggestions as well as incorporating some of my own."

Tahlia Jade - Actress headshot photography

in ,

I recently photographed Brisbane based actress and model Tahlia Jade as she needed some fresh new headshots to put online. After talking with her and getting a sense of what she wanted, we decided to shoot Tahlia's headshot session at Roma Street Parklands, a great location that offers a variety of different looks, most suited for female headshots being a nice and natural location. Check out some of her images below and make sure you visit her profile online -

Corporate Portraits + Headshots - Dr. David Moore

in , ,

I recently received an email from a local obstetrician, Dr. David Moore as he needed to get some fresh and updated corporate headshots to use at his practice. David wasn't too keen on the whole clean and simple look shot inside a work environment and wanted something a little more fresh and urban for his corporate headshots. After chatting about different locations and styles for his headshot session, we settled on a favourite location of mine and came up with some magic for his new headshots, enjoy!

Headshot Photography - Ebony Nave, Actor

in ,

A little while ago, Ebony Nave, a talented actor from Brisbane managed to find her way in front of my camera for some new actor headshots. Ebony spoke to me about previous headshots she had done and how she wanted her new ones to simply be better! Better headshot photography is what I try to achieve for ALL my clients. Brisbane hasn't had many great photographers in the headshot photography genre of late, and I am aiming to change that, one actor at a time! So for now, please enjoy viewing Ebony's latest actor headshots, and don't forget to contact me here if you need your headshots updated!

Last year in August I was lucky enough to travel with my extended family to Japan for 2 weeks for my cousin's traditional wedding in Kyoto. This was my first overseas trip, so I was pretty excited to capture as much of the Japanese culture as possible through my lens, this is small selection of what I came back with...
