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.Â
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.Â
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.

I'm on the hunt for a top-notch photographer who can help me capture some real-life, everyday pictures. I'm not just talking about clicking a button on a fancy camera; I need someone who can guide me into looking naturally excellent in the shots. These pics aren't for any special event, and I definitely don't want them to look posed or fake. I'm considering doing the photo session on a weekend. If you're interested, please let me know: - How long will be the photo session? - How many edited photos? And if you give me all the taken photos? - Show me some of your past work, especially pictures of guys in casual poses. Pick your absolute best shots and put them in your offer, even if you already have some on your portfolio somewhere. Also, let me know if you have your own studio and where it's located. I have attached some sample photos to demonstrate the type of images that I'm looking for.

I'm after a portrait of my god-ugly mug for my personal website. But I don't want it corporate.

Preferably in the next couple of weeks. - Due date: Flexible
