Let’s Get Candid!

Our step-by-step guide to your Candid experience from URL to IRL.

Book a Session
this is how it works!
  • Decorative wall with framed posters, a potted plant on a white mantle, and a pegboard display with colorful fabric bags and scrunchies.

    Welcome to Candid!

    Meet our studio host at the front desk who will be there to give you the low down. If you're early, flick through the Candid inspo book or have a gander through our shop of feel-good vibes.

  • Photography studio with large softbox lights, a computer on a round table, a laptop, and a monitor displaying a person in a yellow hoodie. Behind are various items including a mirror, chairs, and colorful decorations near a window with a bicycle outside.

    Introducing you to the Candid concept <3

    We'll show you around studio and how to use it! Then we'll do a tester shot to frame you, light you and then we'll play your go-to confidence boosting playlist and leave you too it. Ours is Tinx's Disco Margaritas!

  • Person in a wheelchair holding a drink, wearing sunglasses, in a room with green and white walls, a small stool, a bookshelf, and studio equipment.

    Let your self-love session commence!

    We start the timer, the curtains are drawn for your privacy, and the studio is your playground for the length of your session. If you need any help throughout, the studio host is on hand.

  • A woman with natural black curly hair wearing a bright blue faux fur coat and a red top looking at the camera while touching her face.

    The timer pings, session complete!

    The studio host arrives back into the studio to wrap up your session. If your clothes are splurged everywhere... this is totally normal! You'll pick your favourites to print and we'll start exporting your shoot to receive on the very same day.

  • Three young women taking a selfie in front of a mirror, making playful gestures and faces, with a wooden partition and soundproof panels in the background.

    Jump into the retro booth

    You're in your Candid energy so finish your experience with a bang by jumping into the retro booth and printing out a 4-cut strip of your fave poses.

  • A woman with black hair laughing and pointing, standing in front of a pink background, wearing a black t-shirt and striped pants.

    Strut off into Portobello Road with new found confidence

    ...and 2 hours later, your email pings with your Candid shoot! It's time to daydream how you going to mic drop this into your socials, business, creative projects... take control of your story :)

how our candid crew love to use the studio….

  • A joyful elderly woman with gray hair, pink sunglasses, and hoop earrings holding a large bouquet of pink tulips and pink and white peonies. She wears a leopard print jacket and is smiling broadly against a plain background.

    Self-Love Shoots

    Self-love is an important part of mental health and overall well-being, yet many people struggle to practice it. 1 in 2 people feel more self-doubt than self love.

    With our self-portrait concept our clients feel the benefits of empowerment and self-acceptance instantly.

    Capture the Moment

    Candid is about turning an experience into a meaningful moment. A group of friends celebrating a 30th, a couple capturing their engagement, a reminder of who you are and what you stand for. We're not just a service, we’re a sentiment.
