Hire a professional portrait photographer near you

Taskers who are trained in portrait photography focus on capturing a person’s facial features, emphasising identity, personality, and emotions. It doesn’t necessarily need to take place in a studio. Depending on the theme, it could be taken indoors or outdoors, like at the park, in a garden, or anywhere else as long as it won’t distract the subject. Thinking of booking a professional portrait photographer through Airtasker? Here are categories you can explore:

Black and white portrait photography

Even in the digital age, black and white portrait photography remains a long-standing favourite, as it effectively produces the most dramatic and soulful photos. Skilled and professional, our portrait photographers can plan the satisfying B&W setting. They know the best way to balance the light and darkness for maximum impact.

Creative portrait photography

When it comes to creative shots, our portrait photographers step out of the usual static photos. For a twist, they may use a few props, a unique costume, or a backstory. They may also take photos from different angles, whether it’s from the ground, side, or even behind. Want to know how they produce creative portraits? You can request a few samples from your photographer before the session.

Studio portrait photography
While it seems similar to headshot photography, studio portrait photography is a little less formal and it presents photos in a more artistic way. For this shoot, your photographer handles the lighting scheme, the backdrop, plus the combinations of colours and textures. Just show up in your best look and prepare your unique poses. 

Couple portrait photography

Whether it’s a grand photoshoot for your honeymoon or just a casual garden photo after moving into your new home, our professional Taskers who are couple photographers can capture the sweetest and most authentic moments with you and your partner. Feeling very conscious in front of the camera? The photographer can also provide creative direction to ensure high-quality photos you can lovingly look back on. Although a couple photoshoot sounds tricky to arrange, Airtasker can make the process smooth-sailing.

Light portrait photography

The key to successful light portraits is mastering the different lighting patterns and techniques. Even with just a single light, your photographer can produce portraits that exude various sorts of emotions. Apart from that, they can also use reflective props such as fairy lights, lamps, prisms, and disco balls, among others. With the right camera settings adjusted to the lighting requirements, you can enjoy a stunning light portrait photo ready for your social media or personal photobook.

Editing and Printing

Through our platform, you’ll find skilled Taskers who can also lend you a hand in photo retouches and editing. These include removing unwanted details, adding artistic effects, modifying lights and tones, and more. Edited photos are sent through email or with a USB stick. Taskers can also organise printing of your final portrait photos and deliver them straight to your doorstep.
