portfolios

Portfolios are where I started out, & I'll always have a soft spot for taking someone brand new who looks like a frightened rabbit in the first few shots, & turning them into a sex kitten over the course of the shoot. It's incredibly rewarding to affect that change in someone, & even more so when they go on to be a succesful model. See also my boudoir site www.mattchristieboudoir.com

It's vital if you're not used to shooting every day to choose a photographer who'll take time & have the patience to bring out the best in you, it can be hard to relax in front of the camera but myself & my make-up artists are particularly strong at making you feel relaxed & at ease, which makes a huge difference to the photos. I also use natural settings such as sofas, beds & doorways in my Central London studio as it's much more natural to pose with these rather than standing against a plain studio background.

Portfolios also work for established models, I recently shot a fashion model who reported a 75% increase in bookings after adding photos from our shoot to her portfolio.

Portfolio shoots currently include magazine standard hair & make-up, around 2-2.5 hours shooting time (I don't rush, it takes as long as it takes), & 8 retouched photos on print & CD. Please email matt@mattchristie.com or call 07590 533049 for the price.
