Welcome to my website for head shots and executive portraits.
 
If you've been looking for great headshots and a great headshot photography experience that's pain free and gets you results, you have come
to the right place.  I’m a headshot photographer that shoots digital headshots and specializes in bringing out your personality. 
 
Acting Headshots
For LA headshots and Hollywood Headshots, the best headshot photographers are using natural light.  During your consultation, we will discuss your
headshot needs, including your age range and the type of auditions you are trying to target. To provide you with the best headshots, we will discuss the
different approaches for commercial headshots and theatrical headshots.  For great headshots, always bring plenty of options for clothing so that you don’t
limit headshot photographers.  Top headshot photographers will always help you choose the best outfit for each look.  Like myself, most headshot photographers
in LA shoot digitally, giving you the opportunity to review every shot taken.  For the best headshots there is no limit on how much I shoot.  I shoot until we have
what we need for an actor's headshot and we are comfortable moving on to the next commercial headshot.  All images will later be edited down to the best
for your headshots in LA!

Most Headshot Photographers require a makeup artist on location.  Although not a requirement with me, for best results for headshots in Los Angeles,
a makeup artist will be provided for you.  The makeup provided will be light and natural for actress headshots.  Professional headshot photographers
will never want to change your face!  Headshots for actors should always look natural to make sure that in the end, the face on the actress headshot
will represent what you look like.  Head shots in Los Angeles usually have makeup on men as well.  Los Angeles headshot trends have now shifted
exclusively towards color actor’s headshots. As a headshot photographer in Los Angeles, I recommend makeup for color actor headshots even for men. 
Color headshots photography tends to show every tonal variation and imperfection on your skin.  Most photographers for headshots ask that you come
with your hair done as makeup artists usually don't style hair for actors headshots. 

As for wardrobe for professional head shots, please bring your favorite clothes with lots of options even though an acting headshot is cropped pretty tightly.
  Wardrobe should be pattern free for actor head shots so that your face remains the focus.  For color headshots, you need to bring bright and saturated colors.
  If you want casting directors to click on your actor headshot online, make sure you pop with bright colors.
 
Corporate Headshots
We do corporate portraits and executive headshots for all kinds of businesses including: start up companies like YouMail, to well established companies like XM.
Whether you’re a doctor, a lawyer, or a realtor, you may find yourself needing professional headshots for your company website or for self-promotion.
If you’ve never had the experience of shooting a professional headshot, don’t worry you’re in good hands. As a portrait photographer I direct you and get
you talking about yourself so that your focus becomes having fun rather than thinking about how you look. Your business headshots will have a lot of warmth
and personality without looking stiff, posed or contrived. Corporate head shots are usually done on location in the building of your company with studio lighting.
A typical corporate session would include shooting ten or more people at the same location on the same day, to help keep costs down. If natural light
portrait photography is preferred, it is offered as an option if the company location is appropriate for natural light.

A professional photographer will always bring a crew consisting of a makeup artist and assistant to help with the shoot. The assistant helps with transporting
and setting up lights for the portable portrait studio and the makeup artist helps you look as good as you can for camera without looking like you have
any makeup on. Professional photographers offer different packages for a corporate headshot session. Most portrait photographers, including myself,
provide online proof sheets for viewing images that are turned around in one business day via a web gallery. Any CDs with professional corporate photography
are custom made to order depending on whether or not you need master files for press or publication, or if you need files for website uploading only.
