• Model Portfolio Shoots

    At our studio, we recognise the critical role a high-quality portfolio plays in attracting the attention of agencies and clients alike. With these shoots, our team aims to provide more than just beautiful images; we offer a space where models feel supported, allowing them to explore their creativity, experiment with poses, and express their individuality, all while being guided by a team of seasoned professionals, and gain confidence in front of the camera. Through this approach, we’ve changed the way models experience working with photographers, making the process enjoyable and empowering.

    Our extensive experience in the fashion industry brings a depth of knowledge to each shoot. Every model who works with us receives tailored direction and advice, from perfecting poses to understanding what industry professionals seek in both editorial and campaign work. Our goal is to empower models to feel confident in front of the camera, fully prepared for a variety of professional scenarios. By choosing our portfolio services, models receive an experience that goes beyond imagery—it’s a collaboration that elevates their potential and prepares them to make a lasting impression in the industry. As professionals, we provide the essential tools and guidance models need to thrive in the fashion world, making these portfolio shoots a valuable and transformative experience.

“Samuel is amazing at what he does. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have a great picture for their portfolio. I can't stop looking at my gallery. Samuel captured excellent images for my portfolio. Throughout the process, he was organized, and communicative, and we had so much fun during the session. Samuel always chooses excellent teams to work with (MUA, Stylist).”

“I have only worked with Samuel once, however I can say he is a truly amazing, kind and very talented professional. Not only does he pride himself in his work but also takes the time to get to know each of his clients individually and find out what works best for them, as well as breaking down any barriers of discomfort so that the models feel their very best on the day of the shoot . It was an absolute pleasure working with him, so if you’re looking for a photographer that’s not only spectacular at what he does but also a bubbly and down to earth person who will help you achieve your goals and more, then he is definitely the photographer you’re looking for!”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Samuel, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and enjoyable. The attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture the perfect shot is truly impressive. Samuel has a natural talent for making you feel comfortable and bringing out your best, which made a huge difference in the photos. I am beyond thrilled with the final images which exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Samuel to anyone looking for a talented, dedicated, and passionate photographer!”

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Notes: Customised model photoshoot prices are negotiable on multiple bookings on the same day. If you or your agency would like to book more than one model on the day a discount of 25% will be applied to each models cost. This is only available on the Customised Shoots in the studio and on-location, not on Model Portfolio Days. Please email ahead if you would like this service and a customised invoice will be sent to all parties involved.

Turn around times for editing and final images on photoshoots will be between 1 and 2 weeks, this includes the selection process which can be managed by either the team, Samuel Geals or the booking party. Samuel will uphold his promise to turn around images within the 1 and 2 week period as long as the selection process is done by Samuel Geals. If the Model chooses the images him or herself, the 1 to 2 week period is set from the date of the final image selection by the Model.

All bookings made will require full payment up front, meaning no booking is secure until full payment has been made. Samuel is open to split payments from the booking party or booking parties. Once the full payment has been made, Samuel and the team will book the studio, give a consultation, start organisation of the photoshoot and prepare a full plan and Call Sheet for the shoot date.

For all Agencies booking photoshoots, a standard requirement of two weeks notice is needed before the shoot date to allow for all organisation to be completed and payments to clear. Once payment has been cleared for all Models attending the photoshoot, the studio booking will be made on an agreed date provided the studio is available at this time. Flexibility will be given on the shoot day to each person making the booking, meaning the timings of the day will be negotiated with each Model to find the best time to suit them.

Any cancellations made to bookings are required at least 3 working days in advance. Once the booking has been cancelled there will be monetary penalisations added to the booking. If a full cancellation is made by the booking party, this will incur a 50% charge and the booking party will receive 50% of the full price back. This will be classed as a ‘cancellation fee’ on the new invoice. If a cancellation is made 12h before the photoshoot date, the booking party will forfeit the full amount paid. If in the event of re-booking there can also be cancellation fees added as per the studios terms and conditions, and the booking can require extra payment for the next booking. Samuel and the team at D2 Creative Productions will not incur any fees or penalisations if the shoot is cancelled by the booking party and will be solely up to the booking party to cover any penalisations.
