Hero Shot is terrific. I wish I'd done my headshots sooner! The shoot was fun and Sam made me feel relaxed. I needed a variety of different headshots - from corporate to a more relaxed author look. Sam nailed it. The looks and backgrounds are all very different and I'm so pleased with the results.

Lauren Simpson

Sam and the team at Hero Shot were incredible! They were on point with all communication pre, during and post and were able to provide quality photographs from corporate to relaxed giving us multiple options to work with. Sam went above and beyond to get one of the images we selected turned around within the day for a print deadline. I will 100% be working with Sam and the team in the future. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Sam! Friendly, professional, and gave very clear instructions to make shots work. Wonderful experience and I would recommend it to others.

Sam was professional, fun and made everyone feel comfortable. He explained all his process, ensured that the process was lighthearted but still managed to get some of the best shots I've ever seen!

Stewart Barrett

Two words describe Sam. Above and Beyond. Highly recommended! - We had simple small headshot shoot with 3 team members, he offered to come on site to do it and even to come the day before and scope it out to find the best way to capture the team. We got comprehensive guidance on how to maximise the shots, make them the most flexible and suitable for our brand. I wouldn't hesitate recommending him for all of your photography work, highly responsive and quick to follow up with any questions. We were so impressed with it we turned 3x exec headshots into headshot photos of the entire team including multiple group, founder and exec shots. Friendly, personable and flexible which resulted in being just great to work with.

Mallory Allsopp

Sam is lovely to work with. He sets you at ease and is clearly very good at what he does. He takes the time to get to know you to make sure the photos will fit with what you’re after and how you’d like to be seen. I’d definitely use his services again

Excellent, professional service and experience. Thanks Sam!

Sam and Kat were super easy to work with - they spent a good bit of time upfront discussing personal likes/dislikes and desired branding. By the time of the shoot, Sam's pitch was 100% aligned with my hopes. Very easy - all done in about 30mins, and turned around within a few days in excellent quality. Strongly recommend.

Harry Cashel

Reached out for some photos. The goal was to walk away with a few professional shots and a few more casual. Sam was incredible in making me feel comfortable and confident. A natural and a wizard behind the camera. The experience was much better than I thought. So reasonably priced and the shots even before editing look amazing. I can't wait to go back and I recommend Hero Shot for any occasion!

Jennifer Work

It was a very pleasant experience with Sam. He was personal and clearly dedicated to find the best shot for me. Was super nice for the photo editing as well. I'd recommend to anyone who's looking for a corporate photoshoot.

Michael Glynn

Parker Silk

I had my first shoot with Sam today, it was very professional and enjoyable. Sam is a great guy and an excellent photographer, highly recommend.

E Kj

Sam at Hero Shot is very professional and takes the time to ensure you are comfortable and happy with the shots being taken. I had tried a different photographer previously and was disappointed. However, Hero Shot provides a pre-survey where you can discuss what you are looking for and during the shoot Sam will show you some samples before continuing to ensure you are happy with the direction. I was aiming for just one good shot but ended up having multiple that it became hard to decide which ones to keep. I highly recommend Hero Shot, especially for those who are a little uncomfortable getting their photo taken. Thanks Sam.

Heidi huang

Sam is an amazing photographer full of idea, being creative and fun to work with. I would highly recommend him to family, friends and business associates.

Vivian Du

Very responsive and quick turnaround on a corporate headshot for an executive I was working with. Sam was professional and very helpful in getting the executive comfortable in front of the camera. Sam also took the time to understand the brief, asking about brand and values the image should portray - highly recommend and will be coming back for future shots!

Trung Le

We got our corporate photos done in Sam's studio, and it was a great experience. Very efficient to organise, he's got an excellent studio, very quick and painless for 4 blokes that would really rather be at the pub next door. Results were turned around quickly, and the photos looked amazing! Thanks again Sam, pleasure working with you!

Jane Lloyd

Sam is really organised. The notes he sent out to provide guidance on how to get the best out of the session were really helpful. He is very approachable, great ideas and the photos were amazing (IMHO). Many thanks Sam - would recommend you to everyone!

Charlotte Liaris

Thank you Sam for such a great photography experience! We were not at all familiar with the process of getting headshots and you made it fun and effortless. So clearly a master of your art, calm and encouraging you guided us through every step. Would highly recommend!

Adnan Karabay

Sam is a great professional. I booked the elite headshot and didn’t know what to expect. He took the time to explain to me what he needed me to do, took on my ideas and created great settings for the photos. His really friendly and helpful approach made me feel comfortable and he cracked the occasional joke, which made it easier to smile during the shoot. I can definitely recommend Sam, if you are looking for professional Headshots.

Sani Dowa

I needed to get my pics done urgently and was so impressed with how responsive and helpful Sam was. I love that he took the time to understand my brand and objectives and delivered amazing photos.

Great job!

Andy M

My headshots look amazing. (Performer, creative industry) I get so many compliments on it. The photographer really knows how to make you look good. And he’s generous with his time, and puts in effort. Highly recommended for actors, singers, classical singers, and if I got a corporate job I’d come back and get my corporate ones done here too.

melissa jovic

In late June, just before the Sydney lockdown, Sam took my professional photos. Over my long career, I have never been happier with quality of my photos. Sam has captured not only my appearance, but more importantly my inner message. I’m absolutely delighted to endorse and recommend his great work. Thank you Sam & team and keep up your excellent professional work Melissa

Rachel Woodford

Very professional, and great at putting you at ease. Some technical issues in getting the headshots sent through and compensated by offering an extra headshot, which was amazingly generous. Excellent photos and very flattering, exactly what I wanted. Would recommend.

Sandra Helou

I was nervous about getting my profile photo taken as I had photos taken in the past that I wasn’t happy with. Sam evidently knows what he’s doing. He gives good instruction to get the most flattering angles and positions. He also takes the trouble to ask questions and find out the brief: what’s your industry? who are you trying to attract? etc I’d highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for personalised images.

sarah thompson

I booked the hair and makeup and 3 photo inclusive session with Hero Shot. Sam made everything feel so super easy and comfortable and although I felt stiff and unnatural, Sam presented me with a portfolio of images that I was absolutely thrilled with! In the past I had shots done that made me cringe, and being a real estate agent with a very public profile this was not good. Now I have a portfolio of images that I am proud to present. Thank you Sam. You're the bees knees!

Overpromised and overdelivered. Excellent service from start to finish - even gave me a lift home.

Highly recommend Hero Shot Photography! I’ve always been incredibly nervous about photos but this one was a breeze - Sam recommended outfits to wear and had heaps of recommendations of how I should stand (angles/poses etc) which gave me a lot of confidence that I wouldn’t normally have with photo taking. If you’re like me and photos make you nervous, I can’t recommend this studio enough!

Sam responded to my enquiry promptly, and I booked in a basic head shot session. On the day, everything went smoothly – I felt comfortable and knew straight away that I was in competent hands.

Elizabeth B

I had the pleasure of being photographed by Sam for an updated corporate headshot. The entire experience was seamless, from booking, to arranging for a make up artist to come to the shoot and to the thought that he had put into the different shots to take. He also made me feel at ease, even though I was completely out of my comfort zone. I cant recommend Sam enough!

r hu

I looooooved working with Sam! Totally made my day and made the photoshoot so much fun! I highly recommend Sam! So easy to work with and very professional. I will definitely not hesitate to work with him again in the future! I get very conscious and feel very uneasy if I know I’m being photographed, but was instantly at ease with Sam. He didn’t make it feel like a photoshoot at all and I actually enjoyed the whole process. Very dedicated to his profession and really worked hard to achieve great results. I am so happy! Bless him! Many thanks once again!

Chris Getsios

I found hero shot seeking a corporate headshot to improve and enhance my portfolio. Due to time constraints, I hadn't had much availability at the time to participate in a shoot. I called Sam on Thursday afternoon and explained my situation. By Friday, midday, I was in my first ever professional shoot. Sam made me feel right at home despite my 'not so photogenic' tendencies. From start to finish, Sam was professional, timely, efficient and knew exactly what shots to execute. I would recommend hero shot for anyone that is looking to take their headshot to the next level, whether it professional or casual (looking at my next shoot already), Sam will definitely deliver and go above and beyond your expectations. Thanks, Sam!

St John Ambulance - Marketing

Sam has been absolutely fantastic to work with over the years.

He is someone we highly recommend and can't wait to work with again in the future.

Benjamin Wirtz

Sam and Stephen are awesome, they make the process enjoyable and the results are always great.

Tomas Lawton

I had my shoot the day after I found out I needed a professional headshot and Hero Shot delivered a superb experience! Not only did Sam bring out my best side with some great pictures, I also had a variety of options/moods to select from so I was able to get the perfect picture! Sam also kindly dropped me off since we were going the same way. Highly recommend!

Geoff BYrnes

Extremely professional encounter with Sam! He is a FANTASTIC corporate photographer who is extremely skilled, personable and willing to take that little bit longer to develop a larger image portfolio for your selection. I would highly recommend HERO shot photography to any business requiring new or updated images. Thank you!!

Alison Green

Having my photo taken is something I avoid, but need overtook behaviour. I researched online and was instantly drawn to the content of the Hero Shot website, sent an email enquiry which was quickly followed up. A friendly and informative telephone conversation with photographer Sam followed and I booked immediately, including hair and make up. While the shoot was a week away I had regular updates from Sam advising how to find the studio, what to expect from the shoot and then how to prepare to get the most out of the session. So I went feeling excited and confident - I'd had a great experience thus far! The session was fun - I knew I was with a professional; Sam worked hard to help me relax so he could get the results I wanted. I can highly recommend Hero Shot.

Khashayar Jalili

Best professional photographer in Sydney. Sam is a lovely guy with a good sense of humor. He makes the whole process very easy and entertaining. Highly recommend him . He also has been very helpful in helping me to style. He goes above and beyond and puts a lot of effort to get the ideal shot

Doug Landfear

Sam was fantastic to work with. A great photographer with a great sense of humour, he came to us, set up his gear, took the shots, and had proofs back to us two days later. All so easy. Sam was consummately professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

Ana Ghasemi

Hands down the best photography. Sam is very delightful and professional. We had the best experience and very pleased with the photos. He is also a great stylist. Highly recommend him.

Aloys Rubasha

Claire Quigley

Where do I start! From the first interaction Sam was really listening to what I was looking for, and not looking for in our shoot. When we agreed to move ahead, Sam researched my brand and asked me really good questions so that on the day we just got into a flow straight away... He has a great eye for detail and really wants to work with what makes you comfortable so you can just be yourself. Nothing is too much trouble and it is a friendly but professional environment. I can't wait to see the results! Thank you Sam!

Fiona Morris

Excellent and very professional service provided by Sam. Photo quality and editing was amazing. Sam was most reliable in completing order. Thank you, Sam. Fiona

Chris

Sam was great and made the whole experience enjoyable. The final photo's were excellent. I would definitely recommend Sam and Heroshot.

Eleusa Nunes

I had an urgent request due to a tight schedule which was promptly accommodated by the studio representative. The photographer (Sam ) in particular helped me a lot through the shoot by providing me with very useful inputs. It is hard for me to make some types of facial expressions but this could be ( surprisingly ) achieved during the session with his help and professionalism. Overall, my experience with the studio was excellent !

Lena Nielson

Great photos and a fantastic photographer to work with. We did a headshot session and Sam went above and beyond to make me comfortable and happy with the photos!

I had a great experience with Sam. I am extremely camera shy and he spent ages with me making sure that we got several really nice shots. I have received lots of compliments and would highly recommend Sam's work.

Excellent - Sam was terrific and took some great pics of someone who hates the camera. Couldn't be more pleased

Kellie Dillon

This was my first time getting a corporate headshot and I urge anyone thinking of doing it to book with Sam straight away! the photoshoot was enjoyable, and Sam really went the extra mile to get me the perfect shot with trying out different backgrounds/poses/lighting etc. I also received my gallery to choose from very quickly, and the turnaround for editing was so fast. My headshot turned out amazing in the end, I will be recommending Hero Shot to anyone in need of a photographer in the future for sure!

Gavin Crump

Sam did an amazing job of directing my photo session and making the whole experience fun and easy going. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

Matt

Sam was excellent - I'd definitely recommend.

Bron Jeffrey

Sam made the dreaded professional photography experience funny & enjoyable resulting in shots that are candid & natural. Thanks again :)

sunita chhabra

I have worked with Sam for over 3 years and can not recommend him enough. Sam takes time to understand the brand requirements and his eye for detail is unmatched. We have worked together on project photography as well as head shots and every time the results have exceed our expectations. We recently got team shots for 35 people in the company. Sam took time to understand the space and background requirements to match the brand guidelines beforehand. On the day, he spent time with each member- making sure everyone was comfortable, confident and captured the most beautiful smiles. We additionally did a group shot that had its challenges, but Sam was positive to make it happen and he did with outstanding results.

Hartley Pedersen

Sam did an excellent job making it a fun photo shoot

Nathan Williams

does a great job and is very talented at setting everybody at ease.

Karina Diec

We had corporate headshots and team portraits taken by Stephen. We cannot recommend him enough, he's a true professional. Sam also went above and beyond to assist with our booking to ensure everything ran smoothly. We have already recommended Hero Shot to our network. - From the team at Universal Lawyers

Laura Zarb

Such a great service. Sam really takes the time to get the perfect shot. I would highly recommend Hero Shot to anyone looking for high quality headshots.

K Napier

Sam and the Hero Shot team have done an amazing job with my new headshots. I was always of the opinion that "any old photo would do" for my LinkedIn, not the case anymore. I went in with a specific requirement to enhance my personal image/brand and that is exactly what we have achieved here. I cannot recommend Sam's services enough and I will be back in the future when it comes time to update 'my brand'. Thanks again, keep up the great work!

Jessie Wu

Great experience! Sam was very professional and the quality of the photo was superb. Highly recommended.

Rowena Kanna

Such a great experience from beginning to end - Sam was very responsive and took the time to understand our needs to provide the best solution. On the day he was very professional yet easy going, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. All the photos were great, which made it hard to choose - Sam helped through the whole process and we now have beautiful photos to work with.

Nikola Kovacevic

I requested a quote from Hero Shot the other month to do head shots for out entire company. Sam got back to me within a few hours and sent in a competitively priced quote. We decided to go with Sam and are happy with the end result! He was understanding of changes and was very flexible. We will continue to use him for any of our future needs.

Conor M

Fantastic photographer for any occasion. Will always deliver

Marie T

Sam was absolutely terrific, I don't think I could've had a better experience. I contacted him on short notice and even though he was about to fly overseas he accomodated to fit me into his already packed schedule. Upon meeting him, any nervousness or tension I felt dissapeared. He was very professional and kind. He made jokes, small talk and was clearly experienced in helping people feel at ease. I communicated that I felt self conscious about two key features on my face. Knowing so much about the different types of angles and lighting, Sam shot them in a way that they no longer looked like imperfections. I didn't even notice them when looking at my final shot. It was a big relief. Sam's communication was immaculate from start to finish and his service impeccable. I would reccomend Sam to anybody who wants the perfect headshot.

Jeff Cho

Had a great photoshoot experience with Sam. He just knew exactly what to do to get the best out of you which resulted in some of the best photos of me ever taken. Many thanks to Sam for an outstanding job and if anyone is seeking a professional photographer, just go with Sam and you won’t regret it!

Matt Johnston

Got the most out of my look with a variety of shots I needed for different purposes. Easy-going and efficient.

Mark Williams

Sam was outstanding. Very interested in what I was about and keen to make the shots suite my business and my personality. I'm not comfortable in these situations but he made it easy. Spent way more time with me than i was expecting just to make sure he got the right shot. Highly recommend.

Brett Jeffrey

I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. Very easy to communicate with, takes the time to understand specific requirements and a fast turnaround time. Thanks for your help Sam

Luke Moody

Sam is an amazing photographer, he really knows his stuff. I would recommend getting your headshots done here. 10/10

Mary Evatt

Sam at Head Shots took a great photo. He made me look good even with out make up. Let's face having professional pictures taken is stressful and confronting. Sam was pleasant, and efficient. I think that this is why he got such great shots.

Susan Subrata

I've had the best experience with Hero Shot photography. Sam is a talented photographer and made me feel at ease throughout the photo shoot. Sharee the makeup artist was amazing and made me look beautiful. I got my photos back within a few days and they looked stunning! I would highly recommend Hero Shot photography.

Brendon Chhor

Where do I even start? Sam was warm and welcoming when I initially called him for a quote a few days before the shoot. I knew he was professional by the way he lead me through the conversation by asking me specific questions. He gave me great instructions on how to get to his studio and even told me the best place to park. As soon as I met him, it was nothing but good vibes as you could tell that he is a people’s person. It was my first ever photoshoot and he did everything he could to make me feel comfortable and relaxed which helped me to enjoy the experience. You can tell he takes his profession seriously even though he is pretty much cracking jokes the whole time whilst getting to know you. Sam really goes above and beyond for his customers. He initially told me the session would go for an hour but he spent an extra hour and a half because he really wanted me to get the most out of my first experience. I honestly felt like I was just spending time with a new great friend because everything felt so light hearted. I admit I was a bit skeptical at first because he had so many 5 star ratings but I quickly realised the reason behind that. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Sam and I know that was my first shoot with him but definitely not the last. :)

Peter Diamantidis

Very Happy with the photos Sam has taken and will be coming back every year to update my photos. Highly recommended

Allister Haire

Sam made what can be a daunting experience into a very easy, friendly process. He went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my headshots. Thanks Sam!

Cameron Mountford

Fantastic Experience with Sam from Hero Shot! Very comfortable session, and amazing results :)

Tony Marsh

WOW what an experience. Was nervous to begin with and walked away beaming. Inside and outside shots taken . Highly recommend the professionalism and the finished shots were better than I could ever expected. Do it.

sharon lieu

I had my first professional head shot taken by Sam and can't be more happy with how it turned out! Sam is truly great at what he does and made the whole process a comfortable experience. He was also able to send my shots through in a short amount of time as I urgently needed them. I will definitely be returning in the future and would highly recommend him to others. Thank you Sam :)

Dr Deborah Davis

I can only agree with all the other reviewers. Exceptional service, massive attention to even the tiniest detail needed to get the perfect shot, extraordinarily professional. I couldn't be happier with my photos. Very highly recommended and many thanks Sam.

Jeremy EJ

Hero Shot was amazing. Sam especially made me feel so welcome and relaxed. Would highly recommend , best in Sydney! Thank you Sam you're a legend.

Jarrett

Can't rate or recommend HERO SHOT photography highly enough. I was asked for a professional head shot at short notice and found Sam online. I don't consider myself confident or photogenic in front of the camera, however Sam was awesome and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. The results are awesome and would recommend to anyone. Six stars!

First time doing a photo shoot and Sam made me feel super comfortable! It was a pleasure working with him.

Daniel Hughes

Sam and his team made me feel at ease right the start! Sam helped me with what I wanted from the photos and the team were great to deal with. While I was a little apprehensive before the shoot, Sam and his photographers were so easy to work with and we even had a few laughs along the way. Most importantly, the photos are great and I can't recommend Sam and his team highly enough.

Margo van Bekkum

Well organised with a personal touch. The images were spot on!

Donna Loon

I highly recommend Sam's photography, particularly his ability to capture essence. I came to my photo shoot after much prodding, but with reluctance. I simply do not take a 'good' photo! Sam made me feel so comfortable and produced photos that reminded me of the smile that I have been complemented on over time, which I had forgotten about and which is so integral to me. You really caught me. Thank you.

Prash Haidig

Sam is highly recommended. What a great 1:1 photo shoot. Thanks for the advices and the photos looks amazing.

Kate Mackarell

Hero Shot came recommended to us when we needed to create some head shots for our new website. Sam came to our office beforehand to do a detailed review of the site & opportunities for locations. On the day we were very nervous but it didn't take long for Sam to make us feel completely at ease & the results were fantastic. His attention to detail & effective use of light was excellent but seeing someone so passionate about what he does makes the whole process more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Shakila Zab

I'm glad I chose Hero photography for my acting headshots. Sam was very helpful from the start, to the initial shoot, and through to photo selection. It was a wonderful process all together and we got the shots we wanted. My agent was pleased with the results, as well as family and friends who I shared them with!

Catherine Casey

Thank you Sam for your inventive style and in depth knowledge on how to use the perfect light for each shot. You have a natural ability of finding my personality on each of the photos and I will highly recommend you to my colleagues. with admiration and gratitude.

Philip Patelis

You know when you are in the company of a professional. Things seem so easy, you are relaxed and the results are seamless. Sam is an expert in his field, and controls the whole process which makes you feel very relaxed. Highly recommended!

Angie Dowling

Sam put our very nervous contributors at ease and captured the best images they had ever seen of themselves. Sam's professional and polite manner ensured a smooth shoot. He followed the brief to a T. We were impressed with the pics and delighted Sam delivered a great range of images. We would whole heartedly recommend him and look forward to booking him again.

Alex Jarvis

Loved the photographs , PERFECT for my new book , Sam was the most open, and receptive to any ideas put to him . I felt at ease during the photo shoot . It was very professional with a separate room to change to your outfit choice . Sam handled with ease , any different points of view and really listened to my requests . Sam has a talent to bring out the best in you and is very experianced in all aspects of photgraphy , looking at the models position, body posture, correct angle and lighting to get the ultimate result .

alice ma

Great work and great guy. Easy to work with, perfect photos.

Nicola Joanna

Sam was a delight to work with from the first phone call. The consummate professional - patient, kind and funny. My initial intention was to get a new Linkedin headshot but I opted for the wardrobe-change package and was very happy with the results. I'm not someone who ordinarily enjoys being photographed in any context, however Sam made it fun and easy.

rachel joseph

I’m so happy with my new headshots for my acting profile. Sam has great direction and felt so comfortable. Great quality, highly recommend!

Tanya McCabe

I have had a number of professional photos taken over the years and my experience with Sam was excellent. He was incredibly patient and took the time to explain why he took certain approaches to each shot. Sam also provided some great advice on final shot selection and delivered the final photos promptly. Thanks again Sam.

Nicole Pyner

I could not recommend Sam highly enough. I am happier than I could ever have imagined with my photos. Sam's preparatory guide was very helpful for assisting in preparation. Sam himself was calm, patient and down to earth in the session which was just what I needed. A great experience all round!

Anna Sheppard

A few weeks ago I went to get some new professional pictures done. I was nervous about this as I am awkward in front of a camera at the best of times. One person's kindness and persistence can change a scary experience into a fun one. I ended up having the best day ever. My resting expression is a frown so to capture the shots Sammer Affridi had to tell me dad jokes for 3 hours solid. I wanted to say a special thank you and shout out today for agreeing to capture me just the way I am, for not putting me in a corporate headshot box and for getting creative with me. If you are looking at refreshing yours the team from Hero Shot Photography are HEAD AND SHOULDERS above the rest.

Nadine Vieker

absolutely loved my headshot. Sam spend a lot of time with me to get the perfect spot. Had a great experience with him.

Rebecca Hanifin

I hired Sam for an offsite multi-location photoshoot for our directors, as well as a headshot shoot for staff. He really went the extra mile travelling to multiple locations and working his creative magic to get the best shots for us. Sam is a complete professional and it was super easy dealing with him – he’s responsive, flexible and nothing is ever a bother. He has a great way of making his clients feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera so that he can get the best images. Everyone is absolutely thrilled with their photos thanks Sam!

Nico McDonald

First

Michael Haynes

Sam is an excellent photographer. I came to him to get new headshots for promo artwork for upcoming podcasts. He took lots of photos using different poses and angles. He is very friendly and engaging so that made for both an easy and fun experience. The photos he produced were excellent. Truly reflecting the image and personal branding I wanted to portray. I highly recommend him for any photos you need to enhance and build your personal brand.

Thanks Sam, my branding headshots look fantastic! Thanks for making a potentially nerve-wracking experience super easy.

A very happy customer here. I would recommend Sam & his team to anyone thinking of getting professional photos done! Thanks guys! :)

Sam was excellent. From discussing what was needed, to booking in the shoot, to then accommodating further shots on set, he was just a pleasure to deal with. He knew how to get the best out of my team and I with regard the photos required. Plus he did have all the gear needed. A professional photographer that I would definitely recommend.

Mark Stopps

I was really impressed with Samks service and photography, right through the whole stage from the pre meeting brochure to post meeting photo editing. Sam was also great to deal with during the shoot.

Amity Bella

Sam is the real deal. He understands the "vibe" your going for, and goes above and beyond to capture images you love.

Sammer blew me and my Partner away with his work. Exceptional quality for a great price.

Vijay Shan

There's so many photographers out there so i wasn't sure where to start, but I'm glad I came across Sam. I needed a LinkedIn profile photo and Sam took a great series of photos from which to choose from, and offered very helpful advice when choosing a photo. He's friendly, professional, has a great eye for taking photos and is value for money. I'll definitely be using his services again and highly recommend him.

Sof M

I was needing some good-quality professional headshots after one of my employers requested it with my bio - and I thought I would try Hero Shot Photography as it had such consistent, high ratings on Google. It was a real pleasure to work with Sam and I am beyond pleased with my final shots! He really knows his craft and goes the extra mile, and makes it an easy-going and relaxed experience. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing headshots for work or applications - you won't regret it!

Merren Armour

I contacted Sam for some professional headshots when I decided to become a company director. I really dislike having my photo taken but Sam made me feel completely at ease from the moment I contacted him. All the different package options were clearly explained with no hidden costs. Sam was able to arrange for my hair and makeup to be done by a professional in his studio before the shoot. During the shoot, Sam did a great job of helping me feel relaxed and less self-conscious. The results were amazing and I cannot recommend Sam more highly.

Katrina Fox

My partner and I each hired Sam for new professional shoots. He was a pleasure to work with, understood what we wanted and was flexible. We even got to do some pics together at the end which we hadn't planned. We're delighted with our shots. Highly recommend.

Renee Mifsud

Sam took some great pictures and I am very happy with the end result. I would highly recommend Hero Shot!

Pierre Emmanuel BARBE

I need to have recent professional photographs of myself quite regularly for work and I always go to Hero Shot Photography and never gets disappointed. Sam is a real talented photographer with a strong sense of details but not only, he is also very friendly and able to create a good vibe during the shooting to make you feel at home and relaxed. Ideal when you are not a professional model! :D I also ask Sam to cover when I have events and it's always amazing! I definitely recommend Hero Shot Photography!

Kev Durkin

After updating my CV, LinkedIn and other profiles, it became clear that I was also going to need a professional photo to go along with these. Out came the smartphone and after a very awkward half an hour of trying to look natural with an arm outstretched, I decided to email Sam instead. I'm not a huge fan of having my photo taken, but Sam really puts you at ease and uses his skills to get some fantastic results. It's immediately clear that he really enjoys what he does and wants to get the best for the client. The resulting set of shots far surpassed my expectation and were light-years away from my terrible efforts with a phone. They've already yielded some very positive feedback, so if you're looking to freshen up your professional profile, get in touch with Sam.

Emma Murphy

I would thoroughly recommend Sam. Not only did he know exactly how to make being in front of the camera not so awkward but, he nailed the brief and the final shots and editing were fantastic. Thanks again!!

Clive Morley

We have used Hero Shot multiple times for branding photography and corporate portraits. Sam is a great photographer, very professional, and we have no problems recommending him to other businesses.

Rozalin Robic

How difficult is it to capture the beauty and love of a toddler that doesn’t sit still aged 20 months?? It’s a tough one.. but not for the fabulous Sammer of Hero Shot Photography. Sammer was able to capture my toddler in the most beautiful photographs with his wonderful kind fun style. We have the most wonderful photographs. To top it off Sammer captured the true love between mother and daughter in photos that I will treasure forever. Thank you so very much for all the effort you put into our photo shoot and for making it all so easy and fun. You are an amazing photographer! Thank you!

I had my professional photographs done by Sameer and I was impressed. Aside from the obvious jokes about making me look good, he truly paid a great deal of attention to the quality of the photos. His attention to detail and persistence till he had the correct series of shots was impressive. I would recommend him to any professionals looking for photos for Bios etc.

Nore Hoogstad

Sam really cares about what he does, and went above and beyond to ensure I got the photos I needed. I felt 100% comfortable throughout the process and would recommend him to anyone wanting head shots at a very reasonable price.

Nicole Khattar

Same was phenomenal with our shoot. He really gives it 100%, makes sure that you’re comfortable the whole time and ensures you approve of everything. Really looking forward to using hero shot photography again.

Elizabeth Clark

Great job Sam! You handled the corporate head shots with such excellent service. We highly recommend.

Aurelie Elliott

Sam is simply awesome. He is very easy to do business with, will go above and beyond what you need, will listen to your needs and make you feel comfortable. He's got a "magic" eye and will deliver the best headshots you ever had. Unlike other photographers he will work for YOU, and deliver what YOU need to be happy about yourself and your image. I will recommend to ANYONE who needs portraits/headshots, he is the best!

Danielle Toase

Sam was fantastic and made the whole experience as comfortable as possible. I left satisfied with a handful of great, professional and relatable photos.

We recently had our first lot of corporate headshots done by Sam at Hero Shot Photography. We are a long established business who have never done anything like a "photoshoot" in the past, so we were a bit unsure about the whole thing to say the least. The whole process - from the first point of contact with Sam through to the photoshoot and selecting the final images was an absolute dream. He made us all feel very comfortable and went above and beyond to ensure we achieved the best results for our business. Would be more than happy to work with Sam again in the future!

I’ve used Sam multiple times, for wedding and family shoots. Amazing shots, caught all the special moments and he makes you feel so relaxed and at ease in front of the lens. Great service too and nothing was too much. Great professional and will continue to use for all our special days

Sam is the utmost professional. His creativity, patience and attention to detail meant that the finished product exceeded my expectations. We now have profile photos that we've used on LinkedIn, Google and other offline marketing collateral. We feel that these photos are reflective of the professional, yet approachable image that we intended on portraying with our brand. I highly recommend Sam for all profile photos for any organisation.

This guy went above and beyond to assure I was satisfied with my boudoir pictures! His pictures straight from the camera looked awesome and that's before the fully fashion edit.. He certainty knows his photography with what works and what doesn't. I travelled from Newcastle after researching his work and it sure did not dissapoint!!! He then went out of his way and got me a good deal on prints and sent them by courier I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend to anyone wanting quality shots.

Thorsten Joses

Sammer is a great photographer. He is very creative, lights beautifully and has the ability to put his clients at ease. Therefore making the whole process very enjoyable.

LOCKEY

Highly recommended, very good customer service. I was made to feel totally relaxed during my photoshoot. I can't say enough good things about Sam. He's a true gentleman.

Chris Cullen

Sam is a pleasure to work with. He listened to what I am trying to achieve with my business. At the shoot he was happy, friendly and relaxed which helped me to also be happy, friendly and relaxed. Sam gave clear directions which were easy to follow. The end result was a huge number of high quality, beautiful images for me to choose from. He is generous and cares about helping me build my brand and my business. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a professional photographer. Chris Cullen - the Friendly Funeral Guy.
