A headshot built from a real sitting, not from a prompt alone

Sightline Headshot Studio photographs the sitting in its own room on Aborn Street, generates every variation from those frames, and has a person review each image before it is delivered.

Six services, with prices

Every service carries its scope, its duration and its price. A consultation costs nothing and is the right place to start when two of them look equally suitable.

    no charge

  • Standard headshot session

    Forty-five minutes, two lighting set-ups, eight to twelve reviewed frames.

    from $220

  • Executive session

    Ninety minutes, four set-ups, and crops sized for every platform.

    from $480

  • Team headshot day

    Half a day, up to twenty people, one matching set of pictures.

    from $1,400

  • Re-generation session

    New variations from a sitting the studio already holds.

    $95

  • Rush delivery

    Finished frames by the end of the next business day.

How the studio works

A consultation comes first and costs nothing. Every sitting is photographed in the studio, and every generated variation is built from those frames and nothing else, so the person delivered is the person who sat. A member of staff reviews, corrects and approves each image before it is sent. Nothing is scheduled until the intended use, the number of frames, the turnaround and the price are agreed in writing.

From the wall

Six plates from the studio wall. Each one is labelled with what it shows.

  • A tabletop set lit by a softbox in a small studio room, with a camera stand in the foreground.

  • Two colour checker charts held open on a stand against a plain grey ground.

  • Two hands fitting the black outer skin of an octagonal softbox over its silver lining.

  • Two black lighting stands with their legs splayed on a bare wooden studio floor.

  • Large painted scenic backdrops and a reflector dish on a stand in a preserved portrait atelier.

The studio

Four people cover the six services. A preferred photographer can be named on the contact form, and availability is confirmed separately.

  • A wooden bellows camera mounted on a turned wooden stand, photographed against a grey ground.

    Ivy Serrano

    Studio lead and lighting director

    Sets the lighting for every sitting and runs the executive and team days. Decides which of the four set-ups suits a particular face, a pair of glasses or a wardrobe colour, and signs off each delivered set before it leaves the studio.

  • The front standard and lens of a wooden bellows camera on its stand, seen from the side.

    Marcus Feld

    Portrait photographer

    Photographs standard sessions and works the second camera on team days. Spends the opening minutes of a sitting on posture and breathing rather than on the camera, which is usually the difference between a usable frame and a stiff one.

  • A compact camera clamped to the head of a flexible-legged tripod on a white ground.

    Dana Okoye

    Retouch and set review

    Checks every generated variation against the frames actually taken, corrects skin, hair edges and collar lines by hand, and rejects anything that has drifted away from the person who sat. Nothing is delivered without that pass.

  • A large octagonal softbox lit on its stand, facing the camera in a darkened room.

    Tomas Brandt

    Client sessions and scheduling

    Runs consultations, wardrobe notes and the running order for team days, and answers the contact form. Also the person to ask about rush delivery, since he knows what is already waiting in the review queue.

What customers said

  • The consultation settled the wardrobe and the number of frames before anything was booked, so the invoice matched the estimate exactly.

    Nadia T.

  • Every delivered image still looked like me. The studio showed which frame from the sitting each one had come from.

    Daniel G.

  • Twenty of us were photographed in one afternoon and the team page finally matches, with the same light on every face.

    Priya K.

  • The executive session came back in square, portrait and wide crops, which saved a whole round of emails with our press office.

    Marcus W.

  • A re-generation session updated the background and the crop for a new role without booking another sitting.

    Alicia M.

  • Rush delivery was quoted honestly. The studio said what was already in the queue before taking the booking.

Six questions

How should a visitor choose a service?

Start with the scope, the duration and the price on the services page. Contact the studio when two of them look equally suitable; a consultation costs nothing.

Are the displayed prices final?

Published prices apply to the stated scope. Any “from” price is confirmed as a written estimate before a sitting is booked.

What should someone bring to a sitting?

Two or three wardrobe options in plain colours, and any brand or platform requirement the finished images have to meet. Collars are steamed and checked on arrival.

How is AI used in the work?

Only on photographs taken during the sitting. Variations are generated from those frames, then reviewed, corrected and approved by a member of staff before anything is delivered.

How long does delivery take?

Five business days for a standard or executive session and ten for a team day. Rush delivery moves a sitting to the front of that queue for the next business day.

Can a visitor request a specific staff member?

Yes. Use the contact form to name a preferred photographer; availability is confirmed separately.

Start with a consultation

It costs nothing, commits nobody, and ends with a written note of what was discussed.

New work, occasionally

An email when new frames go up on the studio wall or a sitting opens up. No fixed schedule, and one link in every message removes an address from the list.
