Awkward Portraits

Awkward Portraits was established in 2013 and is a special brand of intentionally daggy portraiture, based in Naarm (Melbourne) Australia.

So, how do I get an Awkward Portrait?

Markets, promotions, charity & community events. First-in-best-dressed (literally). You’ll queue up with your mates, and we’ll take 2-3 portraits of you when it’s your turn. Pop ups are always advertised on Facebook & Instagram, but you should probably join our mailing list to avoid missing our social posts.
We tend to plan and advertise studio days around special events (Christmas in July, Valentines Day, etc) that you can book into and pay for in advance, so you rock up for your specific time and bingo-bango you’re done in 15 minutes. First dibs on bookings always go to members of our mailing list!
Maybe it’s your mate’s birthday and you want to surprise them with an Awkward Portraits session with a bunch of friends. Maybe you’re having a huge anniversary/engagement/office party and you’d like us to rock up and embarrass your guests. Private bookings can be made at our studio in Brunswick West, or we can come straight to your party! Please get in touch if you are interested in booking us for a private event.
