Back by popular demand, we are thrilled to announce the return of Weronika Mamot for the Studio Headshot Day.

Having up-to-date, professional headshots is crucial for artists, especially in the early stages of their careers. But can often be overlooked amidst the creative process.

That’s why we’re offering Studio Headshot Day—an opportunity for you to obtain a variety of professional headshots that you can utilise across various platforms. From your website and resume to auditions and social media, these high-quality images will enhance your professional image and help you stand out in the arts community.

ABOUT WERONIKA MAMOT
Weronika’s unique photographic voice is articulated in each project and across her editorial and commercial portfolio. She has been praised for bringing intimacy and honesty to her work. Weronika is equally at home with classical photographic techniques in her acute studies of her subjects as she is with creating highly cinematic editorial stories. Born and raised in Poland, she is currently based in Adelaide.

Recent clients include Marie Clare, David Jones, Paolo Sebastian, Jurlique, Myer, Channel 7, SA LIFE, South Australian Style Magazine, Advertiser / Sunday Mail and Norwood Parade.

PREPARING FOR THE SESSION
To get the most out of your session, there are a few things you can do ahead of time.

Consider the look and feel of your headshots you would like, and what you need them for e.g. comp cards, website etc.

Do your research and bring a couple of reference shots with you on your phone
Plan your outfit – avoid stripes, polka dots, strong patterns, logos etc – but most of all, make sure you feel great in it
Arrive with your hair, makeup etc ‘camera ready’

The day will be divided into 30-minute sessions, with artists booking their preferred time via Humanitix. Please arrive ten minutes before your scheduled session. If you arrive late, unfortunately, your shoot time will be reduced, to ensure the next appointment can start on time.

Due to the popularity and limited number of sessions, please note that previous recipients of this opportunity are not eligible.

SUPPLYING YOUR PORTRAITS
You will be provided with three-four high-res files to download. Preferred images will be selected on the day in consultation with the photographer and provided with basic touching up. Additional images are available, at your own cost, which can be negotiated with Weronika directly.
