Headshots & Branding Studio in Main Beach on the Gold Coast
At Sumico Photography, we understand what it takes to run a successful business. You need professional images that perfectly represent your business and your brand. We can produce stunning corporate headshots for use on your LinkedIn profile, speaker portfolio, book cover or company profiles. You may need images for marketing material such as business cards, brochures, flyers or pull up banners. Perhaps it’s professional headshots for your acting or modelling portfolio, or even to add to your dating profile. We can help!
With 18 years of experience in graphic and web design, we know how to take the right photos to suit each particular outcome and can provide them in whichever digital format you require for the job. You may need high resolution images for printing, posters or even billboards. On the other hand, medium sized, low resolution images that are square cropped are ready for your social media. For your website you’ll need small sized, low resolution images to ensure a fast download and a better user experience. We’re happy to advise on the correct image, file type and resolution to suit your individual need.
Your headshots will be taken at Sumico Photography studio on the Gold Coast where you have the choice of professional studio lighting, an outdoor shoot with natural lighting or a combination of both. Let us know if you can’t make it to the Gold Coast for your personal branding photos or if your business requires corporate headshots for several people or your whole team. We will be happy to travel to you to do the photo shoot anywhere between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. There may be an additional cost depending on the location.

PROCESS 1: BEFORE THE PHOTO SHOOT
Before your corporate headshot or personal branding photo shoot, we will make a time to discuss your needs, how you want to be photographed and how you can get the best out of the photography session.
We’ll talk about:
- How many people need to be photographed?
- The purpose of your headshots or personal branding.
- Your business and your brand – colours, feel, goals, mission etc.
- What the photos will be used for e.g. large format prints, flyers, posters, business cards, pullup banners, website or social media.
- How you would like to be photographed – we can guide you on this.
- What to wear – we suggest up to three outfit changes.
- Hair and makeup – whether you will do your own or book our hair and makeup professionals for a total makeover.
- Location ideas e.g. studio, café, beach or at your business premises.
- Setting the date for your photo shoot.

What Shar said about her experience with Sumico Photography
“I wish I could give her more than just a recommendation!
The time, dedication, care and thought that went into every one of my photos, was second to none.
And she is just the sweetest person whom I felt very comfortable to open up with.
This makes all the difference when doing a photo shoot and I’ve done many over the years.
As a TV Show host and magazine and book publisher, how I’m captures makes all the difference. I didn’t want a cold headshot corporate shoot, I wanted someone to capture me in my home so the photos are relaxed, happy and will appeal to my target audience of women.
Sumi did an amazing job and I highly recommend her. As long as she still has time to do 2 shoots a year for me, you can use her too!”
Shar Moore
I needed photos for my individual team members as well as I thought it would be fun to have group photos as well. We contacted Sumi a week before we wanted them done and she made it happen. In just an hour of shooting we got 5 individual people photographed as well as group shots in 3 different outfits. It was super easy and fun and she got the photos to us 5 days later. I love a fast turnaround and she was lovely and easy to work with. Thanks Sumi!!!!
