Headshot Laboratory is based at Cog Creative Space in Norwood, Adelaide. Run by principal photographer Sam Oster, the studio specialises in quality headshots for professionals. Headshot Laboratory is endorsed by many of Adelaide's leading agencies, and Sam maintains her skills as part of the International Headshot Crew program, run by Peter Hurley (USA). Sam works with a range of hair & makeup artists, and an assistant when necessary, and together they make up a highly professional team. We aim to craft effective headshots that allow subjects to exude character, charm, confidence and approachability.

Our studio is comfortable and fully equipped with professional equipment. We have a clothing rack for your wardrobe options, a change room and make-up area, and a comfortable kitchen and lounge to enjoy a coffee or tea and a chat before your session.

The studio boasts a record player with a range of fun & quirky records to play during the session. We can also play your selected playlist of favourite tunes - bring in an i-device, or share your Spotify playlist. Shoots are tethered to a large screen so that clients can see the results as we shoot, and subjects are empowered to collaborate in the shoot to get the most effective range of genuine expressions and interesting looks. We also use a mirror during the session so you can check for stray hairs or defiant collars! It's the small things that count.

Cinematic Headshots are taken on location, using studio lighting. These shoots are a lot of fun and can provide a more interesting and charismatic headshot. Locations can vary and we can set up at your workplace or at a location that is practical for you. These shoots are a bit more tricky than a studio shoot and we are at the mercy of the weather - but if conditions are favourable this can be a stylish and interesting solution to your headshot. We do have some good locations within 5 minutes of the studio, and these shoots can be blended with a studio shoot if you would like to consider both styles
