Argentum Studio - I'm Happy because of Argentum's work ! - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Argentum is great for actor services! Like headshots, post cards, websites, etc... The majority of my experience with Argentum has been on their "hot sets" this is a service they offer to help actors get footage for their reels. Argentum sets up a set, and then shoots the actors in the scene. They use professional quality cameras, sound equipment, editing, color grading, etc... They also film on multiple cameras so that once edited the clip looks professional, and most importantly looks like something that could actually be seen on film, or television. Argentum also uses professional actors as your scene partners, and the actors will also work with you to make sure that you're getting the best performance possible! They're also happy to let you bring your own scene partner. The guys that run the "hot sets" are great as well. They're extremely helpful, and really work hard to make sure that every scene turns well. They're also just cool guys. I know that might sound silly, but when you're spending time with people it helps that they're nice. The price is reasonable for the service being offered, and the quality is high. For anyone looking to add some footage to their reel I would definitely recommend Argentum. I'd recommend them for other actor services as well. read more

Nowadays, I must depend on the quality of my taped auditions to get me work! I don't trust anyone but Argentum to get the best product!! They CARE about your audition and they have the skill and experience to create a tape you are happy with! BECCA is an amazing professional to read with! I am often grateful for her insight and perspective! They are fast. They are reliable. They are a NEW owner for a respected name! GO TO ARGENTUM! New address: 6844 Vineland (near the westside of the Burbank airport) in North Hollywood! read more

This is my all-time favorite photographer, Ajay Jhaveri and my go-to place for head shots, websites, self tapes, "Hot Set Series", Headshot Cafe video blog, postcards, headshot reproductions, etc. The quality of their work, along with the people who work there, make this an easy choice when I'm looking for any of these services. I always get great CD and agent response from my head shots that Ajay takes. Love this place! read more

I was emailing with Argentum and they were not the best with communication. I said several times that I needed my headshot by Wednesday 7/31 and I reached out on 7/24 about this. They kept emailing back saying my photo was too small so finally I was able to send them the photo with the correct pixel size and they were like well we won't have it printed until Friday 8/2 now sorry. They told me this on Tuesday 7/30. So unprofessional. Like call me, let me know that in advance don't just tell me the freaking day before I need them. So luckily, I was referred by one of the staff at Argentum to the Actors Photo Lab in studio city.(which is also shady... why would the manager recommend I go take my business to a competing company?) again, poor customer service. I was assisted at the actors photo lab by Marvin. He was FANTASTIC. He printed 10 of my headshots not just the same day for $32 but in only two hours! $32 was literally half of what Argentum wanted to charge me to do a first time setup and to print 10 photos...even though I've been printing headshots with them for four years now. When I came to pickup my photos I told Marvin that he looked familiar and he said that he used to work at Argentum for years so happy that I did not go with Argentum and that that Marvin is at Actors Photo Lab now. The quality there is just as nice, the price is better and the customer service is WAY BETTER! I definitely recommend going to the actors photo lab! read more

Argentum Studio - manager suggesting Actors photo lab when I sent my headshot in 8 days prior & their employee dropped the ball & wanted to charge a rush fee - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Every part of my headshot experience with Argentum has been nothing but excellent! Ajay Jhaveri brilliantly guided me through the One-Look shoot in less than 15 minutes. His encouragement an easy demeanor got the very best from me immediately. From the first clicks, I knew he was quite special. Within a half-hour my proof sheet was emailed to me with excellent choices to send to my agents. The retouches were expertly done within one day of my choices! I cannot speak more highly of Argentum and Ajay. Don't put it off, visit them in person. They really will bend over backwards to make sure your experience is worry free and excellent. read more

Had a great experience working with the Argentum team shooting my demo reel clip from the "Hot Set" Series. Nathan was in communication with me throughout the whole process and was very responsive. The day of the shoot went great as well. Everyone made me feel very comfortable and Nathan was great at directing and making sure we got enough shots. Highly recommend these guys! Thank you! read more

Do not recommend. Unprofessional and overpriced. Not what it used to be pre-pandemic.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with the staff at Argentum! I started going to them somewhat reluctantly when they were still at their old location, and was hesitant, as the prices seemed high. However, it really is true that you get what you pay for; their prints are truly the best quality in town, and worth every penny! I have had trouble in the past ordering via their website, and I tend to appreciate talking to a person (at the bank, etc.), rather than have the entire experience be online (from start to finish, as Argentum has been implementing for some time now)... and they've always been quick to respond to my emails with concerns, and to accommodate my needs, like okay-ing proofs of reorders via online photos sent by email, rather than physically drive to them to do so. Also, they are always so friendly and helpful over the phone! Negatives: I have been sad to see that they no longer offer specials around the New Year, when I always used to restock and reprint my headshots. I wish they'd bring that tradition back! read more

For years these guys have been the professionals that consistently deliver the goods, and at great rates to boot!. They archive, like way back archive, which is seriously a blessing for those times when you need headshot reprints on the fly. Always sweet and always on top of their game! read more

Argentum. An old-school noun for SILVER. Let me tell you, Argentum should be called GOLD...because, damn, their service is pure gold. I ordered a batch for my girlfriend and the headshots came out brilliant! This company is: professional, experienced, and punctual!!!!!!!! The ONLY place in LA to get your headshots done right! read more

Greatest new service Argentum has to offer has to be their one look headshot shot by Argentum's owner Ajay Jhaveri! It's quick and super affordable. I think the session took fifteen minutes... Maybe even shorter. And Ajay is a hoot! He knows how to get the best photo out of you. And bonus, my rep is super happy with the outcome. read more

Argentum Studio - One look headshot, shot by Argentum owner Ajay Jhaveri - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I understand that people have good stories about this place, but here is MY story of my personal experience with Argentum: Ajay was the guy that photoshopped my headshot - such a mediocre job!! When he sent it for approval the first time, my teeth weren't even whitened and my nose was still shiny. After I brought this to his attention I can tell that the very little skills he learned in night school weren't up to par. When he emailed it again for approval the 2nd time, He left a discoloration on my nose where he tried to remove the shine. It's called " Layer+Mask All " if he knew what he was doing, he would've applied that very method and that wouldn't of happened. I approved the photo after this, simply because he was incompetent and if I pointed other things out, like fixing the lackluster in my eyes ( I also pointed that out to him initially) he still wouldn't know what to do! How many takes does it take?? I worked my magic on it, and I did a far better job than him. So much for trusting a professional. read more

Great service and great prices. They make sure that you are happy with the print before they print the whole order, so nothing can go wrong. I'll always go here. read more

Enjoyed the free seminar last night with John Dapolito You all are awesome! Thank you read more

I filmed 3 Hot Sets at Argentum with Nathan & the team. Not only are my reps incredibly happy, but those reels get in me in so much with casting. Quality is top notch HD, price point is reasonable, and you get your reel within a week. Working with them is easy, they are fast & efficient....they get the job done! I go to them 3-4x a week for Casting Suite for my self tape auditions. Ryan & Lauren are great readers/actors and it helps my performance - especially when you need your scene partner for reaction moments. As a result, in the last 6 months - I have booked and filmed 5 features - including 2 projects that filmed in New York & Atlanta. My booking rate has increased dramatically! Thank you Argentum :) read more

They've changed location and didn't inform customers which is annoying when you drive to the Sunset location to pick them up. Kind of pricey unless you have a discount. Like the product, don't like the inability to call. Good online response time. read more

I come here for 4x6 prints for dropping off for agent review when I get my headshots done. Very old school I know. Ryan is always super helpful as well and friendly. This place is pretty tech savvy and professional. Online gallery. Easy ordering in person and great customer service. They also offer other services like self tape auditons and headshots and hotset. read more

I use the casting suite. I like to go here because of Lauren. She is excellent. It is very difficult to find her unique balance of skill and generosity. When working on your audition, she never gives you a sense of judgment; she allows you to work. She is also great in giving you feedback (if you want it), or she is really intuitive about just giving you space, when you need it. Essentially she is great, because she really makes the process about you. If you need a helping hand, she is quite skilled, and willing to help, but if not, she allows you the space and energy you need in order to focus. These things may sound simple; but when you are in a vulnerable postion, as auditions are quite vulnerable, it's great to have someone as intuitive as her in the room with you. Also, she is great reader. And, I don't doubt a fantastic actress! Prices are a bit high, but Lauren makes it worth it. read more

The only place I'll go to print my headshots from now on. The quality is unbeatable, they just do the best work and it's a fast turn around with a test-proof print. I attended one of their seminars too. The speaker, John Dapolito, was amazing! read more

Phillip got my project done quick and professionally. He went the extra mile to make sure it was done right. I'm very pleased as he knew exactly what I needed. They are now located at 6840 Vineland Ave. read more

I used Argentum to update my latest reel. Kevin Arreaga was beyond helpful and talented! He took all my raw material and followed my directions to put together an amazing new reel that really showcases my work in a professional way! He was very patient and easy to work with and also didn't charge me and arm and a leg. I would recommend Kevin and Argentum to anyone who had a video editing project. I plan to hire Kevin from here on out! Argentum has also helped me to print headshots for myself and my family and they came out fantastic! Anita read more

Quality is unmatched. It's been over ten years now I've been going to Argentum for retouching and now the casting suite. I just can't trust anyone else and I know I'm not going to get as good of quality as Argentum. Staff is always friendly. Never pretentious. Always patient. Photos always come out pristine. There's a reason they have such a loyal base within the industry. Save a few more bucks if you need to and go to Argentum if you're afraid it's out of your budget (you are paying for A++++ quality) which you are going to need if you expect anyone to take you serious. read more

Overpriced. Go to printheadshots.com for cheaper and better service. They want to charge and arm and a leg for everything. Their website is also outdated. There are other places with better quality and prices. This place charges ridiculous amounts of money. read more

The best of the best. Professional, timely and extremely affordable! I'd recommend them for anything photo or video related, especially if you're an actor/actress. read more

I love this for place ! And all the people that work there ... I used to dread when I would get a self-tape from my agent , but now I actually look forward to it because I know Argentum is gonna help me get an amazing looking tape to send in .. I still of course have to do my part but as far as worrying about lighting and sound .. they take care of all of that. The staff also shows that they really care about you and want to make sure you are happy with your outcome ! I would recommend this to any actor who wants an easier approach to submitting a self tape .. Trust me it's way better than making your poor mom or boyfriend help you ... read more

Best of the best! Kind and so helpful! I've never had any other place print my headshots in 7 years and I'll never go anywhere else. read more

This is always been my go to place for head shots. Friendly staff and very professional

These guys and gals are just nice people that do really good work. They will take the time to talk about what you need and what you don't need. But the other night they hosted a seminar on Social Media for I guess about 100 people. I understand with technology progressing the way it is. There could be an inclination for some to skirt some cost thus affecting Argentum. They know that but they still got involved with helping people understand what Social Media can do at a certain risk to their bottom line. It was very very informative. The speaker, Ryan, well known in this area was great. The people there asked good questions. I walked away knowing something but that added up to very little in the big picture. But that was a beginning course. " An overview of how it can help you" and I took away the notes I made placed it in a Microsoft Notebook with pictures, And my day was made. Thank you, Argentum.

I have been coming to Argentum for yeeeeeaaarrrs. Besides magnificent work and fair prices everyone is just the nicest! I love every opportunity I have to come into Argentum. read more

Argentum is professional and love there work. I been doing my son headshots and retouch with them. they always deliver on time and the communication is great as well as there customer service. thank you. read more

I love Argentum and their team. I won't go anywhere else for headshot reproductions for that last 15 years at least. I send all my friends and students there. My experience is always awesome. The service and product is top notch. They provide other industry services that I'm sure are impeccable as well. Stacey specifically is a dream to deal with. Attentive, customer friendly and always professional. I highly recommend. read more

Great place to get your demo or you slate shot.They really work with you to get the best shot.

Helpful and professional. They have been doing this awhile. I wanted changes made to my test print and they handled it immediately. Will use them again for sure. read more

I have been all over Los Angeles/Hollywood for photo printing (including headshots), & NOWHERE compares to Argentum. It sounds corny, but Argentum doesn't treat your photos like "just another job" - they seem to really understand that YOUR JOB depends on these photos coming out right. They care about quality, double-checking spacing, lines, crisp edges, colors etc. even on the final printed headshots before they are willing to deliver them. I've even had them notice a printing error, just a slight smudge, and go back & reprint my entire batch of their own accord. In a town & industry where too many businesses exist to take advantage of eager young artists who don't know better, Argentum is a breath of fresh air for their quality & care. PS - the private parking lot in the new space is a great touch, even though parking on Hollywood Way isn't too tough anyway! read more

Today I was a first time customer. I needed headshots printed in a sort of small time table. The file i needed to have printed was already edited so I only needed them to print it. I don't live in Burbank or near it. I wasn't able to make my test appointment and it's now the end of the week. So I was worried they would make me wait until the following Monday. But then, when I got there and approved the photo, I was offered a chance to walk away with them the hard copies if I agreed to wait for a few minutes. I said yes, I waited and UREKA. My photos were handed to me in a fresh envelope. I was like hell yeah! They work with you, you just have to work with them. My photos as hot btw. I won't go anywhere else now. read more

The reason I stumbled upon Argentum was Billy DaMota and Dea Vise. They hold seminars there. Since their move to Burbank, I love it. It's much closer to me. ;-) You can check out the scene I did for their Hot Set Series and see for yourself if you like it. If you do then I totally recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBu5cjif4Vw read more

If you're an actor and you need headshots, check Ajay. His work is absolutely incredible. If you don't live in Los Angeles, it's worth the trip every couple of years to shoot with him. Ajay has a way of making several different characters (looks) in one session. Plus, he's so much fun to work with. Not only is Ajay's work top notch, take a look at the print work Argentum does for it's clients. Oh...and if you can't afford a trip to LA, Argentum will print your shots and send them to you via US mail. Don't forget to check them out in February. They have a 2 for 1 print deal in that month. read more

I came here recently for a self tape and they are awesome! They were quick, easy going, professional, and they had a great reader. I would highly recommend! read more

They helped me out immensely, I of course use them for headshot printing, but I needed more prints ASAP, and they called me and said they could take care of it no problem. Definitely a great business! Thank you Argentum, -Marcos Mateo Ochoa http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3318790/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 read more
