Let's start planning your experience
Once we discuss your needs and you book an appointment with Alise Black Studios, we will start preparing a comprehensive styling guide, specific to your chosen photography shoot styles. This gives you and us lots of details to help prepare, so your experience at our studio is easy and enjoyable.
Prior to your appointment, you will enjoy a styling phone consultation with Treia to start planning your photoshoot experience. The styling consult, coupled with the pre preparation time we dedicate, is essential to a high calibre photography shoot.
We focus on tailoring the shoot to suit each individuals needs and bring creativity and organisation to each Session. This gives you the most efficient use of time during your appointment and makes the experience with us really relaxing.
STYLING

Styling is a way to determine how you want to present yourself or your brand. We consider the purpose, look and aesthetic
Photoshoot styling includes guiding you with clothing, colours, props, backdrops and photography
Essential things to consider
Our extensive experience has enabled us to create an essential list of things to consider when planning and styling photoshoots. This has proven to help guide our clients comfortably through a professional photographic experience.
You will receive a client style guide once you book your appointment. This is where we have detailed information and advice.
We discuss:
-
SHOOT STYLE
The style/s of photography desired. We have over 20 different galleries that offer a range of photography -
WHERE
Location, studio, lifestyle or natural light settings -
APPEARANCE
Your personal appearance, such as eye colour, skin tone, hair colour and height to ensure we complement you through the use of backdrops and props -
CLOTHING
We discuss your clothing, fabrics and what works well in photography..for example, thin pin stripes 'strobe' and have always been undesirable in photos -
ACCESSORIES
Accessories may complement or overpower an image and we will talk about what you would like to bring -
PERSONAL STYLE
We explore your personal hair and makeup styling and ensure this is created to your taste -
FEATURES
Some clients like to share the things they like about themselves and also what they are self-conscious about - rest assured we know how to bring out your best features -
RETOUCHING
We talk about digital retouching. Some clients love it - others loathe it. Natural retouching such as removal of blemishes and body marks is complementary and we have a retouching menu available
By planning out the photoshoots, allowing for a good dose of creativity on the day, we are quietly confident you will enjoy the experience and be the best version of you in your images.
