Portraiture for couples…

Romantic couples portraiture for all ages

It’s never too early or too late to celebrate your relationship with a unique couples portrait in our studio. Our shoots are fun, relaxed and romantic. Not only do our couples take away fabulous photographic artwork, they also invariably have a great time!

We are very used to helping everyone chill out and get the maximum enjoyment out of the shoot, and we know that sometimes one or both of you will be a little camera shy! We find that once the ice is broken we can bring even the most nervous people right out of their shell, and get the best out of our time with them.

A typical couples shoot begins with a consultation either on the phone or in the studio, where we learn a little about each of you, and suggest some ideas for the shoot and help with selection of wardrobe and accessories. On the shoot day we usually spend an hour or more shooting in our South Fremantle studio, and we always try to get several different looks and feels as some great individual photos of each of you. Shoots can have a casual feel, or be more formal, romantic or sensual, depending on what you want, and what you’re like as a couple!

There really is no correct age for this – we’ve had couples as young as eighteen and we also really enjoy working with couples who are well past retirement age. In fact, some of our most rewarding shoots have been with couples who have been together for decades!

A few thoughts on family portraiture…

stunning, personalised family portraiture

Family Portraits are one of the most popular reasons for Perth households to have a professional photography experience.

Many of our Perth clients update their family portraits every 18 months to two years. This is particularly important when your children are young, as the change over 18 months can be enormous.

Even when your children are teenagers family portraits shouldn’t be overlooked. I’m sure you’ll agree that this is also a time of rapid change, as boys and girls start the journey that will lead them to become young men and women. This is a time when your kids will have very specific interests, and it can be great to accommodate these into the shoot.

For example, one of our clients has a daughter who is a talented double-base player. The final portraits were soft and classical, and showed her skill and the beauty of her musical instrument.

At Cooper Studio we offer a number of different family portrait styles, including classical, casual, and artistic. Talk to your photographer about which one suits you best.

Adult Portraits!

colourful and moody male portraits

Some of our favourite photography subjects are adults of all ages, either singly or together. The challenge with this kind of photography is to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and to learn enough about you that the portrait becomes a study not just of what you look like from the outside, but of who you are as a person.

A great portrait should not only encapsulate your personality in a nutshell, it should also make you look good! The Cooper Studio team are specialists at choosing winning combinations of lighting, background and camera angles to bring out your best. We’re also great at helping you find postures and poses that make you look good while letting you feel relaxed.

When we first talk to you about your portrait, we’ll want to learn something about you. We might ask what it is you love doing or whether you have any special talents or interests. Sometimes something you tell us will give us a great idea for a themed portrait shoot. For example, one of our clients recently came to us with a 400 year old violin. Naturally, we worked this into the shoot:

Different types of Adult Portrait Shoots include:

  • Sensual: This is usually in our Studio and could be a nude or semi-nude or lingerie shoot.
  • Fashion: This is a magazine style shoot and could be, for example, in the studio on our “New York Grey” background, or on location near Fremantle.
  • Artistic: This is often in black and white or sepia and is a sophisticated character study. This kind of shoot is great if you have a special object which represents a passion or a talent.
  • Timeless: This portrait is often a close face shot of the subject, usually on a dark background and in Black and White. The portrait focuses on the eyes and the person’s expression in order to bring out their personality.
  • Casual: Often dressed in jeans and a smart top or T-Shirt, here we want you (and your partner) to have fun, even to be a bit silly! We might get you straddling a chair or just sitting on the floor and we aim to get lots of laughter and relaxed portrait photos.
