Headshots that ROCK it.
_JPG.jpg)
Headshots mean more than you realize.
​
Other's opinions are shaped by this moment in time, in a crackin' image. (in saying that, what other people think of you is none of your business - except IN business).
And they live on, like it or not in this digital age!
Socials, websites, employment, reports are great places to have that quality and consistent imaging.
Best it gets done right.
I just don't look good in photos.
​
Well, I was like that, and over the years taking my own portrait for fun, testing setups and for my own profiles,
I started rockin' it.
It changed me, made me understand myself and perhaps has deeper perception toward others.
Luckily my expertise helping others rock it, helps them amplify their own super power
and expertise in the field of service they choose. Helping attract more clients,
solidify existing connections perhaps new opportunities and rockin' people into their lives.
It's your time to Rock it.
​
If you care about the image you wish to project online for business or the channel that drives you, line up something with me, you owe it to yourself.

For me talking about portrait, headshot and photography with driven and motivated people that get it, value it, turns my own wheels in life.
This is Marty, your photographer.

Late starter in many things. Used to paint oil paint landscapes. Played squash a lot. Ocean is a big part of my life and perspective. Cabinetmaker by trade. Paddled outrigger canoes for such a long time, coached paddlers, travelled. Used to make a living making custom timber paddles.
Never been a gym person and then took up CrossFit.
Can't run anymore, hurts my knee.
​
Love making images of people involved in what drives them.
​
I mention this quick background stuff, as one day
I made some studio portraits and BOOM,
people in front of my lens opened my world of creativity
- to show people a version of themselves
they have not seen before.
My obsession (I don't use "passion")
is to amplify people, and I strive to be and do better every time.

HOW IT WORKS
​I strongly recommend that you get on my schedule for the complimentary consultation call with me. It takes a lot of time for me to do these, but they help get the results I get. Feel free to schedule the call before you decide to book a headshot session with me if you like. I love this stuff, so it is fun for me to talk about.
​
There is a lot to cover and I ask questions that get us to the point we need to act on.
By looking at my work should it make you think, damn, I want that then drill down a bot further. If you feel it's not reaching you, no problem, I ight not be the right person for you.
​
Read the information here and/or let me tell you about it so you will know what to expect.
​
You will get an extensive email from me telling you how to prepare.
Read it. Do it.
Please take advantage of my expertise.
​
At your session, we will go through the clothes you bring and come up with a game plan.
​
Women, makeup is mandatory, you can have hair and makeup done just prior to your session and arrive ready or I will get you in makeup before we begin with one of my trusted lady's.
Check out the Make Up FAQs to learn why.
​
I will be directing and coaching you the entire time. I will not leave it up to you.
​
We will take breaks between wardrobe changes to review some shots. This is another opportunity for me to coach you. Also, you will be able to see how it is going. It isn’t one of those deals where you shoot and later you can look through the shots to choose some. I will make sure that you are happy with the direction we are going.
​
At the end of the session, we’ll sit down together, grab a drink, and go through the shots to choose the one you want. This puts you in complete control of the final cost depending on how many images you require. $195 per image including professional retouching and full usage rights).
In about ten business days, each headshot is delivered to you as a retouched digital file. You will receive a printable, full resolution version plus a version that is optimized for online use. You need to update your LinkedIn? No sweat. It will be ready to go.
​
Walk through life with your head held high, confident in the knowledge that you have rocked your headshot.
​
IMPORTANT: If you read everything above, you understand that my $250 session fee does not include any final headshots. Any headshots that you choose are $195 each.
Women must have makeup either privately or with my MUA.. Her fee is $250.
​
ALL decision makers are required to attend the selection process at the end of the session as the images will be chosen at that time.
As long as you are happy with the results, other peoples opinion or suggestions mean very little, especially if they were not there and not part of the direction you are taking.

FAQ.
​
How much will this cost?
$250 for the whole session. Then each image is $195 each. So one headshot is an investment of $445.
Women need to factor in Makeup for the session.
What should I wear?
This will be different for everyone to a degree. Your profession or role that you wish to represent will dictate the most appropriate look. The smart thing to do is book a consultation.
Why must women have hair and makeup done?
So you have a professional result and paying attention to hair and makeup is a big factor and an important element to maintain a quality headshot.
Makeup is very individual, you may like it subtle and natural looking , or your style dictates a certain look that represents you. Our tropical weather can play games with our best efforts and in moments can create "magic". I am not the one to be fussing with hair let alone makeup, so consider having your HMUA with you at the session or I'll have a very skilled professional with us.
It's about being camera ready, even though it looks perfect in real life.
3-4 days before your shoot date, avoid any brow waxing, elective surgery, peels, sunglass tans, tattooing so your skin as close to your normal as possible. Crazy eye lashes that extend above your brow will not look that great unless your stage performer and it is a signature look.
​
In the consultation if you wish to have my HMUA at the session, you pay her directly $250. There is time to have your hair and makeup done and then we move into the image making session.
​
Make up for the men?
Unless you normally wear makeup day to day then no. Gentlemen look great with a little bit of rugged. Any redness, shine or aspects that are temporary are easily dealt with after, I gotcha.
Can you come to our workplace or company premises?
Yes no problem, 5 or more I can setup there and have a special rate. Email for more information.
Do I get all the images?
No. You only buy what you need...check below for even more clarification.
How about Hair?
Arrive ready, hair done the way you'd like to see your self represented. Skills you have for hair might be your own or you have a go to person, do that. Beyond my skill set. If you'd like me to organize a makeup and hair person, I know a few that are expert in makeup and can also do hair to bring it life. Definitely do not show up after a swim.
What about a hair cut?
Absolutely, but do it about a week out so it settles.
What if drama strikes and I have to reschedule.
That sucks. I require 48 hours notice so you get a full refund for cancelling or reschedule (once only). A lot of prep for me to be ready and I take it seriously.
​
How do I make payment?
Booking online is processed through stripe by credit card, so you pay me and they pay me most of it. I don't charge extra fees etc. I can offer bank account details so you can direct deposit, cash is king. Steak, goods and services are welcome also.
Professional retouching means...?
To get a professional result, I fine tune the digital file with a post process program to have them print ready in my style which you probably like as you're going in this deep maybe you like it too.
YOUR HEADSHOT INVESTMENT
​
How I do it.
I want you to get exactly what you need. Packages are a bit limiting, so you get a full session and then choose what it is that you like and suits you for your purpose.
​
The Unrushed Experience.
​
I limit myself to one client in the morning and one in the afternoon. This means that you have all the time you need. Time to get comfortable, to discuss any ideas that might have come up for your look after we have had "the talk" at an earlier time. To be honest it takes me a minute to get "my eye" in behind the camera, so we both get to settle.
We can take our time to find the best you there is. We can get different combinations of backgrounds, expressions, clothes, and overall vibe. It can be as simple or grand as you like, and I will be directing you through it the entire time. Keep in mind these are studio headshots.
I am not photographing you leaning up against a tree outside. If you are super busy, don’t worry. Your session doesn’t have to be very long. It can be whatever you need. However, you would be surprised how often the busy business dude wants to shoot an extra set when he sees how cool he looks.
​
My process goes like this.
You get my full attention and expertise for as long as you need. You'll see a view images as we go from look to look. Consider me a consultant for your look and presence.
​
You get that for $250. As much time as you need. As many outfit changes you want. As many different looks as we can come up with. Immediately after we finish, we sit and go through those images and help you select.
Each headshot you want me to finalize with some fine tuning for you is $195 each. You choose only what you want.
From there you are done, I'll work my magic on the images as much or little as needed and send them with in 7 days to you.
