Initially, I was nervous when I arrived at Colin’s studio as I had never posed for a camera before. All I knew was that I needed a quality headshot for my debut novel. Colin delivered beyond imagination. The photos he took reflected the exact feel and tone of my book from the background colour and texture to the angle of my posture. He created such a comfortable environment with music and humour and conversation. It was amazing to see how he sculpted with the lighting, all while he explained the process to me (which made me realise the amount of creativity, insight, and skill it requires to make the perfect photo).

He knew what he wanted to draw out of me for the headshot and guided me throughout the entire shoot. Collaborating with Colin has been an incredibly rewarding experience that has elevated my author brand. I left his studio with a clear sense of direction for my author brand as well as pleasant surprise at having made a connection with the human behind the camera.
