What a wonderful find! Couldn’t believe our luck to have a caring and professional person take our 10yr wedding anniversary pics. Recreated some beautiful memories and included our 4 children, without a fuss. Nothing was too hard. A gentleman and a professional! Couldn’t fault him or the result. Perfect photos exactly what we asked for and more! Thanks again Evan!

What does portrait photography include?
Professional portrait photographers focus on capturing a person’s facial features with an emphasis on identity, personality, and emotions. It doesn’t necessarily need to take place in a studio; 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 hiring 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, thanks to how it can produce 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 pictures. For a twist, they may use a few props, a unique costume, or a backstory. They may also take photos from different angles—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 presents photos in a more artistic way. For this shoot, your photographer handles the lighting scheme, the backdrop, 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 focused on couple photography 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 portrait photos that exude various sorts of emotions. Apart from that, they can also use reflective props such as fairy lights, lamps, prisms, or disco balls. 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.

Hi guys, I’m looking for a photographer taking for me some portraits pictures around Melbourne (i need them for my travel website and I need around 20 good pictures - i’m a photographer as well). The problem is that i don’t think can be done in the some day because i have different locations in my mind like: • Brighton beach • cbd • riverside (where is the pedestrian bridge and around that area) • point ormond view (where is a hill with the skyline of the city) • a random park in melbourne for some more nature photos We can organize also multiple session 2 or 3 (i don’t really mind to be honest) As preference i like photos with lenses with a low aperture (2.8 or 1.8) Any questions write down please 🙏 - Due date: Flexible

Indoor portrait photography
$300
Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
11th Aug 2023
I need a portrait photographer to take a few pro shots of me. I am a young artist whose debut book is coming out next year with a US publisher. The pics will be used in: • the book itself (author page), • publicity materials, and • other promo. I need to have the full photo rights. The one-off payment for this task will be the only payment given. I’m happy to credit you. You are free to use the photos anywhere you want. Budget: This needs to be pretty affordable because I will be using my personal funds. The publisher is not funding this. I am a young debut author who works a part-time day job. I’m happy to discuss. Regardless of budget, this will be an amazing job to have on your portfolio! Benefits of working for me: I’m an influencer with 65,000 followers. I can share the pics on my socials with credits. The pics will also be used in my book, and the publisher’s promo campaigns. You can get your photography out to a US and international audience. Who I need: • Someone with experience in indoor portrait photography. • A photographer who can provide a professional set up – professional lighting, etc. • Someone with access to a studio, or any kind of space that can be professionally lit. A small makeshift space (that is professionally lit) – for e.g., a garage – is also fine! I just need some place with white walls! • Someone who can provide examples of previous work. DETAILS: • Around 5 shots – different outfits and themes. However, we can negotiate this number – I’m okay to have fewer photos if needed. It all depends on your rates and how long you think this will take! • Props & art direction provided by me. • The main photos can be edited by you, if that’s what your services include. But happy to discuss. • I will need you to also send me all the photos – including bad ones. These won’t need to be edited. Photo concepts to be discussed when you reach out. Thanks! I can meet anywhere. Dates are available too (before 17 Sept).
