SPOILER ALERT! This review is NOT for those specially gifted people who are naturally photogenic, immensely camera confident and can carry an oily rag on their shoulders and still pull off a great gig. For all the others like me who get the jitters every time we see a camera, I’d say, Hero Shot is absolutely FANTASTIC! I haven’t come across a more professional and thoughtful team before. Booking a session was easy, their team made me fill out a survey so they understood who I am, what I want to do with the photos and everything in between… Freya from the team even gave me great advice on what kind of photo shoot would suit me best and put be at ease. On the day of the shoot, meeting the master photographer Riccardo ahead of time was almost like meeting a ‘nerve therapist’! His calm yet warm attitude instantly put me to ease. His attention to detail was remarkable; and most importantly he made a pig like me feel confident under my skin and made me a happy pig! With just listening to me and helping me think about what I want to do in life, he brought the best out of me. No make up, no touch ups, just natural radiance is what I saw coming through when I saw the pictures. I’ve never ever looked better! Now, I’ve even started dressing up like the way I looked in the pictures and my confidence has absolutely taken off. Well, if a pig like me can become a radiant pig, then you can be rest assured Riccardo is nothing short of a magical photographer! If you’re reading this review, then you’re certainly not a pig and you’ll certainly benefit immensely from Ricardo’s shoots. FANTASTIC is the word!!

Odi Youkhana

It was an absolute pleasure to have my business photographs taken by Hero Shot Studio. Sam made me and the team feel so comfortable while taking photographs and was absolutely amazing with providing guidance! From the initial booking, to the photography on the day, and to communication afterwards, I can only describe my experience as superb!!

Were able to fit me in last minute and do a quick turnaround for a headshot I needed to do for work. I'd never done a headshot before so I was a quite nervous but but Riccardo was great, very friendly. Photo looks great and was touched up nicely.

As a first time headshot customer, Ricardo was fantastic and gave excellent direction. I felt entirely comfortable and this shows in the great photos that resulted from the shoot.

James Boggs

The entire team at Hero Shot were amazing - so, so professional, friendly, and full of great advice. They took their time and helped me to feel comfortable and relaxed during the process. The pics that we got from the day not only look like me, but somehow the photographer managed to capture my personality too - I'm very impressed!

Nadya Chami

Highly recommend Hero Shots. Ricardo, the photographer, was so helpful and made the shoot relaxed. And the results were fantastic. Better than I expected. Thanks to Hero Shot!

Alec Dozorets

Absolutely amazing experience, I came in with zero knowledge or expectations and got the best photos of me anyone has ever done. The photographer I worked with was incredibly professional, friendly and funny, making sure I was relaxed but also offering gentle coaching in how to come across the way I wanted to in the photos. I can't recommend them enough!

Incredible experience from start to finish. Sam and his team are professional, kind and most importantly very talented.

Just had a shoot for some professional headshots and can honestly say that Kane made the whole experience enjoyable and captured some great images. He took the time to explain each ‘look’ and what would and wouldn’t work, and made me comfortable from the outset. Highly recommended.

Mary Devine

Great experince with Hero Shot. Sam made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He directed me so I didn't have to think about finding the right pose, how my hair looked or any of those things that I was worried about. Modern headshots and professional service. I highly recommend.
