Applehead Studio Photography

I remember the first time I came across Liam’s work.
About a year and a half ago, maybe two, he had a billboard on the Bedford Highway, and I passed it every day on my way to and from work.
It was of one photo and it was, as I now know, quintessential Liam. It was dramatic, edgy and stunningly beautiful. There was no call to action except the distinct Applehead Studio logo. Eventually, I remembered to Google him and well, it was love at first sight.
Since then, Liam has done a boudoir shoot for me, a «corporate» table sessions shoot for my business partners and I, and he’s shooting my wedding this November. I’ll be looking for an excuse to hire him again after that, I can assure you.
The stunning beauty he captures, in his wedding and boudoir photography especially, will make any woman’s head spin. Who doesn’t want to look that amazing?
Anyone who appreciates authenticity and self expression — read, anyone who likes to keep it real — will love Liam’s ability to capture your you-​ness.
Any lover of Surrealism will be easily wooed by the drama and interest he finds in every day objects and settings; the way he turns them into something so.much.more.
And you know what else? Anyone with an aversion to frilly, fluffy stuff and fake niceties will also love Liam. He wears jeans, drinks beer, curses, laughs a lot, and isn’t afraid to tell you about how kick ass awesome his wife and daughters are. How can you not appreciate that?
Perhaps the best part? As his subject, you’ll quickly realize that he absolutely loves his job and loves making you look good.
This guy’s the real deal, promise.

I fell in love with Liam’s work as soon as I saw it. It’s different, edgy and a bit moodier than a lot of photographer’s in the city. But what I love the most about Liam’s work is that it’s not the typical photojournalistic style that everyone else is doing. Yes, some of his images have that quality, but generally, his work is more art-​like. Not dissimilar to a painting that has depth and layers, hidden nuances and stories, Liam’s pictures are much the same. He looks for clues about his subject’s personalities and then creates a portrait that brings those characteristics or stories to life. You could look at the same photo a dozen times and see something different every time you look at it.
And while he sees the image in his mind’s eye, it’s the way he interacts with his subjects that ultimately brings the picture to life. On my 30^th birthday, I did a boudoir photo shoot with Liam. I was nervous and uncertain, but the minute we started shooting, Liam made the experience fun and laid back. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I’ve since sent two friends to him for their own boudoir shoots. My business partners and I also had him do one of his signature Table Sessions as our corporate shot… we get more compliments on that photo than I could have ever expected.
Bottom line: If you are going to do a boudoir photo shoot, go see Liam. You won’t regret it. And if you’re a bride looking for your wedding photographer, get him booked as fast as you can. This guy does killer work… you would be lucky to have him capture one of the most significant events of your life. Oh, yes, and he’s a heck of a lot of fun, so you’ll enjoy having him celebrate your big day with you, too.
