The Portrait Masters 2018

The Portrait Masters Awards 2018

I received five bronze awards from the 2018 Awards and Accreditation program for the Portrait Masters. This international awards and accreditation program is held twice a year and this is my second submission to this program. I have submitted images in January this year.

This international Awards and Accreditation is lead by a great photographer and my mentor, Sue Bryce and the standard of everyone’s work is very high.

There were 8 portrait masters from around the world judged the submitted images. They judged based on styling, composition, focus, lighting, connection, posing, post production and overall technique and presentation.

Five of my images were awarded Bronze (High Professional Standard) and I am so happy with the results.

I would like to thank you to Sola, Zelulah, Moana, Chelsea, and Rachel for giving me an opportunity to capture and I would like to thank you to Emma Christine, Rita Makhzoum, Josephine Keay, Angel Lucianna for hair and makeup.

Lastly, thank you to my Mentor, Sue Bryce.

Mother’s Day Special

Dear All Mums, Please exist in photos.

Hi, I am Sumiko Eyears, a professional portrait photographer of Sumico Photography based between Brisbane and Gold Coast.

Recently, I have read an article in Sydney Morning Herald and I thought that many people can relate to the article.

“When my friend’s mother died he found himself desperately needing to have photos to remember his mum by. But it dawned on him for the first time that, despite loving his mum dearly, he’d never once taken a photo of her.

Hoping that other people had taken photos of his mum, my friend combed through his mum’s possessions and his own childhood memorabilia looking for them.

He eventually managed to unearth one. Just one. That was it. One photo in total.

And it wasn’t recent. It was a yellowed photo of him as a toddler dressed in overalls trying to scramble off his mother’s knee.”

One of my friends said recently, if she died tomorrow her young kids would have no evidence to show that she was in their lives.

I am a mum of a son and two furry children. I was the same like the mum – writer’s friend – who does not exist in my son’s childhood. I did not want to get in the photos. Every time I saw myself in the photos, I just looked for something wrong about myself. There are so many photos of my husband and him, our dog and him, him and his friends but very little photos of me and him. Now I regret and I wish that I would be in the photos more often. There is not much evidence that I was with him when he was little. Sadly, I cannot go back to the time when he was little and take photos of me and him.

Luckily, we had been taken photos professionally when our son was 7 year old and I love the photos. I am so glad that we did. That’s why I like to recommend the experience with professional photographers.

I like all the mum to exist in the photos for their children.

Personal Branding | Business Headshots

Modern Headshots | Brisbane | Logan | Gold Coast

It is important to establish your personal brand when you are in business. First impressions are important, and it is crucial to present yourself in a professional manner. Whether a headshot for your website or social media profile photo or to use in printed marketing material, photos taken by a professional photographer will reflect your professionalism and make you stand out from your competition.

People instinctively trust you more – and are more likely to want to do business with you – when they can clearly see a face, particularly the eyes, and they feel more relaxed and happy when the face is smiling.

When you are looking at a LinkedIn profile or other social media profile, there is no comparison between professionally taken photographs and blurry snapshots. No matter what your business, it is in your best interest and that of your business to present a professional look to your audience.

Sumico Photography are specialists in women’s business portraits, we capture and finish the portrait with a modern look.

In the standard business headshot package, we will provide you the image of your choice in both high resolution for print purposes and low resolution for online use, and square sized images suitable for social media profiles. Additional images can be purchased on request.
