LOCATION
The photoshoot location is in our Budapest studio.
The address of our studio: 1085 Budapest, József körút 65 (doorbell #31, 3rd floor)
PARKING
Due to the bike lane on József körút, unfortunately it is difficult to find a place around the house. If you arrive by car, we recommend that you park your car in the Corvin Plaza parking lot.
PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS FOR KPMG EMPLOYEES
At the beginning of the photoshoot, we select from the clothes you brought. You can find a more detailed description of the recommended items of clothing below.
Unfortunately the makeup for women is not part of the deal with KPMG, so you have to make your own.
The duration of shoot is 20 minutes per person. The pictures taken are instantly uploaded to a computer, so we can constantly look back at them together. Looking back at the pictures, we discuss the settings that work well for you, and we continue the session accordingly. You will choose the final images to be retouched with the photographer during the session.
3 types of full-body images will be taken: 2 formal and 1 leisure. Here are some examples of what to expect:
We do not hand over raw images in any form. If you would like to purchase retouched images in addition to those financed by your company, you have the option to do so as well. We can discuss this during the photo shoot.
The retouched images are sent in digital form via a file sharing system, usually within 10 working days after the photo shoot to the contact person of your company.
HOW YOU SHOULD PREPARE FOR THE PHOTO SESSION?
1. GOOD SLEEP
The most important rule is to try to rest properly the day before the photo shoot. Yes, we know, this is the most difficult task. :)
2. CLOTHING
Choose clothes for the photo shoot in which you feel good.
We ask you to bring as many clothes as possible, then we will choose together the ones to take photos in.
Plain color or simple large patterns work the best on photos.
Please note that full-body pictures will be taken so dress accordingly.
It is worth paying attention to appropriate size of the dressing. Tight-fitting, slim-fit clothes look best in pictures. Make sure that the neck of the shirt or blouse fits tight when fully buttoned up.
Recommended clothes
For women: blouses, blazers, plain tops, dresses with interesting necks
For men: elegant plain shirts, thin jacket, tie
3. MAKEUP and HAIRSTYLE
WOMEN
For women appropriate makeup is essential for portraits. Please prepare your own makeup before the shoot, as it is not part of our agreement with your company.
You should come with a hairstyle you wear during weekdays. It is best if you schedule it so that you go to your hairdresser shortly before the photo shoot.
During the photo shoot, we will help you arrange your hair so that your existing hairstyle can be seen in the best possible way in the photos.
MEN
For men no makeup needed, minor skin defects can be corrected quickly during post-production.
