Your headshot is a critical, career-forming image that honestly captures your own individual character, look and presence. Headshot Laboratory by Sam Oster specialises in headshots for performers & professionals, offering exceptional headshots for a broad range of uses. Headshots can be classic, contemporary or creative; and mid-shot or full length portraits are embraced as extensions of the headshot experience that many people need as well. Sam has trained with international headshot guru Peter Hurley and is a member of the international Headshot Crew.

Sam is exceptional at making people feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, and at supporting people to pose and engage genuinely with the camera. Headshot Laboratory is based at a professional studio just 5 minutes from the city in at Cog Creative in Norwood, and at Watermark Crossing in the Adelaide Hills. Sam also has a mobile studio to work on location with her team on larger or smaller shoots for individuals and companies.

Sam provides an easy way to book in. I dont generally enjoy headshots, but the preparation info before the session, and the session itsself put me totally at ease. I dont think i’ve ever been able to say i enjoyed getting headshots – until now.
We’re lucky to have someone like sam in adelaide!

Had the most amazing experience. Sam made me feel like a natural in front of the camera. I loved having a dressing room and makeup station to check how i looked before the shoot. Sam made sure i was happy with the content before moving to a new look, and i found the chat before hand deciding on looks and backgrounds super valuable. Can’t wait to get my headshots back!!

I’m happy to share my experience with Sam, an excellent photographer who deserves a 5 rating!!

Sam’s calm and friendly approach made the photoshoot a breeze. Her studio setup is excellent, and her process is efficient. Sam’s quick responses and talent ensure a smooth experience from start to finish.

Most importantly, Sam’s photos exceeded my expectations. She has a knack for capturing the moment and making me feel comfortable.

I highly recommend her to anyone in need of professional photography.

I needed photos on short notice, and Sam was able to fit me in within a few days from contact – and the experience was great!

From first introduction Sam made me feel so welcome and at ease. She talked through what she was doing with lighting and poses, and we chatted so comfortably throughout the shoot.

We looked through them afterwards and Sam put some of the best on her client portal which was easy to use. The shots were great and Sam’s final editing process was very quick.

Overall, a great experience!

Sam is a brilliant photographer! It’s easy to relax in her company and enjoy the shoot. Sam knows how to bring out the best in people and technically, she’s superb. She knows how to get the very best shots. I will definitely be returning next time I need a suite of professional photos.
