I was looking to update my headshots on a budget and was given the recommendation of City Headshots from Actor's Connection. I was worried at first at the low prices and short span of time but I got there and Martin was incredibly professional and ready to get to work. His very talented and funny makeup artist, Jen, went right to work as we chatted about what kind of work I did, what I needed in my shots, and the new season of Arrested Development as well as NYC vs LA. It became a very comfortable setting very quickly! I opted for the one hour shoot and it went by so fast but I got everything I needed! Martin is extremely efficient and I never felt rushed. He just knows what you need and how to get it from you! He has a great eye and gives very helpful direction. It was the easiest headshot session I've ever had (and I've had a few) and I got exactly what I needed!
I can't recommend Martin enough for your first headshots or a quick update or new full session. It was even better to get my CD with all the shots right after we were done the session and with my package, I received THREE edited shots! The turn around for the editing was less than two days and I loved the retouching Martin did.
With reasonable prices, several package options, a great makeup artist, and a really casual and smart photographer, you can't go wrong with City Headshots. I can't wait to get mine printed and get them out there! They are the kind of shots people are going to ask "Oh, who did these?" and I will happily direct...
Read moreMartin and his team displayed the utmost level of professionalism during our Firm's corporate photo shoot. We are thrilled with the photos! They came out super sharp and the rates were very affordable. We definitely recommend City Headshots to anyone looking for high-quality headshot photography on a budget.
Our Firm had some difficulty finding a photographer who could provide the exact photo quality we were looking for. We needed a photographer who could come to our office and match the quality of some other headshots that were already up on our website. Unfortunately we brought in a different photographer whose rate was more expensive than City Headshots, and he was unable to get the photos to look even close to the ones we already had.
We were worried that doing another photo shoot would yield the same results as the first photographer, but that was totally not the case with Martin. His careful attention to detail really shined through, and we were able to get the results we wanted. He was even messing around with the blinds at one point to make sure he got the lighting correct! He ensured each person felt comfortable, provided excellent coaching, and took a variety of shots to make sure we all walked away happy. Overall we are very impressed and we look forward to doing business with City Headshots again...
Read moreWhen I realized I needed updated headshots, I was less than pleased. I don't like getting pictures taken and didn't want to sit in a studio with lights in my face, trying to smile from some sort of genuine place. I went to City Headshots because they by far had the best reviews. I walked in feeling apprehensive, having no clue what to expect. Well as it turns out, I was blown away by both the photographer, Sam, and the stylist, Amaris. This dynamic duo was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment I walked in, they totally put me at ease. They were both lovely, charismatic, highly talented, and very professional. Amaris was amazing, she did my makeup beautifully, selected clothes, and took the time to find out what I was looking for. She was completely on top of clothing, makeup touchups, and hair during the entire shoot. Sam was a spectacular photographer. Her attention to detail, ability to get me to laugh and smile naturally, as well as to feel confident in front of the camera was unparalleled. From the first photo she took, I trusted her and knew I was in the best hands. I had such a blast during the shoot and just love the photos. Sam and Amaris are absolutely stellar and I can't say...
