Welcome to Tide Productions - a Melbourne-based production team and a home for natural, cinematic actor headshots. Whether you’re refreshing your portfolio or stepping into the industry for the first time, we create relaxed, expressive portraits that capture the truth of who you are.

Why Actors Choose Tide

Industry-Focused

Your photographer (hi - that’s me, Carolyn!) works closely with performers, production teams, and casting almost daily - so every shot is framed with casting expectations in mind.
Commercial, theatrical, or character-driven - we tailor the session to your goals (or your agents preferences).

Relaxed, Supportive Direction

You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll guide you through expression, posture, eyeline, and subtle shifts that bring out your strongest look/s on camera.

Natural Retouching - True to How You’ll Appear On Camera

Our approach mirrors what you’d look like professionally colour graded on set, as requested and preferred by most agents and casting directors. If you have something else in mind, please just let me know.
