Los Angeles Headshot Photographer
Headshots focused on clarity, presence, and professional results.
Based in Los Angeles, I have over 18 years of experience creating natural, confident images for the entertainment and business industries. Every session is designed to produce headshots that are grounded, believable, and effective for your specific market.
Professional Headshots for Actors & Executives
Actor Headshots
Tailored to casting expectations with a focus on range, presence, and authenticity. I create images designed to stand out on platforms like Actors Access and Casting Networks.
Corporate & Executive Headshots
Polished, modern images for individuals and small teams who need professional, high-end branding. Perfect for LinkedIn, company websites, and press releases.
What to Expect During Your Headshot Session
A successful headshot session is built on preparation, communication, and a clear plan. From the start, I focus on understanding your goals so you feel confident, comfortable, and camera-ready throughout the session.
1. Pre-Session Consultation
Before your session, we’ll discuss your goals and how you plan to use your headshots. We’ll also go over wardrobe options and any specific preferences so everything is aligned before we step in front of the camera.
2. Relaxed Photo Session
You’ll work in a private, comfortable studio environment with time for wardrobe adjustments and finishing touches. We’ll review your outfits, do a quick lighting test, and then focus on natural movement and expression. I guide you throughout the session so your headshots feel effortless, authentic, and true to who you are on camera.
3. Delivery & Professional Retouching
Within one business day, you’ll receive a gallery of proofs to select your favorites. Optional same-day downloads of the full session are available at no additional charge. Final retouching is clean and natural, enhancing color, lighting, and detail while preserving realistic skin texture. Finished images are high-resolution and ready for casting submissions, professional profiles, and print use.
