Headshots for an Art World Executive

When Mary Koutsoubos, the Deputy Director of the National Ballet of Canada, wanted to update her Linked In profile with photos that presented a more polished and professional look with a bit of personality and edge, I knew what she wanted.


We shot her photoshoot at Preto Loft, one of the more popular photography studios in Toronto. The main feature of the west-side studio in Toronto's Junction Triangle neighbourhood is the cement wall with three light-pink standing arches - which act as the ideal backdrop with a neutral grey setting.


The result was perfect.  We got visually appealing shots with Mary looking friendly and attractive, complemented with interesting backgrounds, shadow, depth, and textures.
