Let’s Get Candid!
Our step-by-step guide to your Candid experience from URL to IRL.
-
Welcome to Candid!
Meet our studio host at the front desk who will be there to give you the low down. If you're early, flick through the Candid inspo book or have a gander through our shop of feel-good vibes.
-
Introducing you to the Candid concept <3
We'll show you around studio and how to use it! Then we'll do a tester shot to frame you, light you and then we'll play your go-to confidence boosting playlist and leave you too it. Ours is Tinx's Disco Margaritas!
-
Let your self-love session commence!
We start the timer, the curtains are drawn for your privacy, and the studio is your playground for the length of your session. If you need any help throughout, the studio host is on hand.
-
The timer pings, session complete!
The studio host arrives back into the studio to wrap up your session. If your clothes are splurged everywhere... this is totally normal! You'll pick your favourites to print and we'll start exporting your shoot to receive on the very same day.
-
Jump into the retro booth
You're in your Candid energy so finish your experience with a bang by jumping into the retro booth and printing out a 4-cut strip of your fave poses.
-
Strut off into Portobello Road with new found confidence
...and 2 hours later, your email pings with your Candid shoot! It's time to daydream how you going to mic drop this into your socials, business, creative projects... take control of your story :)

Self-Love Shoots
Self-love is an important part of mental health and overall well-being, yet many people struggle to practice it. 1 in 2 people feel more self-doubt than self love.
With our self-portrait concept our clients feel the benefits of empowerment and self-acceptance instantly.
-
Authentic Headshots
We live in a professional world that still stifles creativity. So, candid offers a playground for personal brand discovery, allowing our clients to tap into their true, authentic selves - empowering them to finally capture that unique headshot.
-
Capture the Moment
Candid is about turning an experience into a meaningful moment. A group of friends celebrating a 30th, a couple capturing their engagement, a reminder of who you are and what you stand for. We're not just a service, we’re a sentiment.
-
Small Biz, Big Dreams
We have the perfect set-up for capturing your small biz content. Your new book or product launch, fun shots of you for your decks and socials or just giving you a bit of you-time in the midst of your busy calendar.
