That’s completely understandable. Don’t worry – you’re not alone. Most people, including photographers themselves, experience unease as soon as they find themselves in front a camera. Our photographer has over a decade of experience, which means is able to help people at all levels feel comfortable in front of his camera, so they come away with not just a great headshot, but a fantastic photoshoot experience.

You wouldn’t walk into a networking function wearing a $100 suit, so why mingle with your LinkedIn network wearing a $100 headshot? In the photography industry you do get what you pay for. Many people who call themselves photographers are mere button pushers – and rely on the camera’s limited intelligence to produce mass-market, generic photographs. At Arielle, it takes a team of professionals comprised of men and women who are individually at the top of their game to produce your business headshot.

The Arielle Business Portrait sessions are shot in our Sydney studio in Chippendale. You can expect your session to last for approximately 2-3 hours.

Yes. We provide you with a comfortable and private environment to get changed. We also provide you with kitchenette facilities as well as bathrooms for male and female use.

For now, having a photoshoot with us means coming to Sydney. We’re in the process of setting up another studio in Melbourne – and we expect to open doors in mid-2024.

In popular culture, make-up is traditionally associated with femininity (and, more specifically, the act of emphasising it). However, in the context of professional photography (as well as TV and film), make-up plays a different role. Camera lenses have a tendency to unnaturally emphasise certain facial features and the role of make-up is to pre-emptively off-set for those anomalies. In cases of both men and women, the amount of make-up we apply is minimal. And men, you can rest assured that the make-up will not be noticeable in your photographs.

We generally shoot a handful of different looks for our clients during the session. Some will be more formal, others more relaxed. Shooting a range of looks over the course of the session allows us to get a variety of shots for your use. Part of our process is to review the session with you as you go. Periodically we will pause the shoot and invite you to provide feedback on the photographs that we have produced; this allows us to course-correct and, ultimately, ensure that you end up with a portfolio of photographs that you love.

After your photoshoot your images are sent to our Senior Digital Editor for retouching and processing. Next, they are personally checked and signed off on by a member of Arielle’s senior leadership team. Immediately after this final check is complete, you’ll receive an email which will notify you that your photographs are ready for you to view – usually 10 days after your photoshoot date.
