He works fast, but with great attention to detail. His pictures come out perfect and exactly to my liking. He's also good with giving suggestions if he believes it will make the picture better.

Daniel was hired to do a listing photo shoot for a cabin in Big Bear, CA. He responded immediately…read moreto my inquiry for service. He responded so quickly I actually had to follow up with a message to ask if it was an automated response being that it was so quick and after 10pm. We exchanged a few messages about the project and made an appointment to meet at the property. Daniel performed the photo shoot and answered our questions or concerns with knowledge and professionalism. He also used his drone to get aerial shots of the property and surrounding landscapes, including relaunching his drone for some lake shots on his way home. The level of professionalism and his added value services were greatly appreciated and I would not hesitate to hire Daniel for future photography services.

I had a wonderful headshot session with Dennis in Los Angeles. This was actually my second time…read morebooking him - previously I shot with him in NYC. His communication before, during, and after the shoot was top notch. He had recommendations for hair and makeup artists at the ready, if needed. But most importantly: he is an amazing headshot photographer. He knows what to say and do to get the best shot and expression out of his clients. I signed with a top five agency after getting my shots the first time around, and I've always had a pretty good EcoCast request rate on Actors Access and Breakdowns / Casting Networks, so when it was time for a refresh - I knew Dennis was my first call. I'd also like to shout out Dennis for being super accommodating. I am a disabled actor and I use a mobility device. Dennis selected a shoot location that was accessible, he knew where all of the ramps were, and he made sure I was comfortable throughout the shoot. If you are looking for quality commercial and theatrical headshots in Los Angeles, New York, or Miami: he should be your very first call. The value he provides cannot be beat. Thank you, Dennis!!

If you ever need photography services, I highly recommend Rikki! First off, he was very welcoming…read moreand attentive when I was looking for inquiries. He replied right away, gave wonderful suggestions, even composed a contract which i thought was very professional. It just shows how passionate and serious Rikki is when it comes to his services. Prior to the photoshoot, he did some virtual investigating of the campus, told us what places we'd visit just in the right time of golden hour, when to use props for best lighting, even gave us a series of GIFs he made which i thought was the highlight of his work! So it made me really excited for this photoshoot. When the day came for the photoshoot, Rikki gave many suggestions as to pose! Of course, it'd be really great if you know how to pose as well so you could maximize the time you have with him! We got the photos the same week so you can definitely count on Rikki to be accountable for his quick services! I'll definitely be recommending him to our friends/family!

I reached out to him for a graduation shoot and he was extremely responsive and it was extremely easy to set up a time for the shoot, he sent over a contract, and even provided a list of suggested locations. Through his guidance and expertise, we were able to select wonderful locations throughout UCI for the pics and he was extremely genuine and thoughtful in creating an environment for me to feel comfortable. (I was super nervous about posing since I'm not the best). His attention to detail was immaculate and he always ensured that I saw the pictures throughout the shoot and was satisfied with them before moving on to the next location or pose. He even allowed us to go over time and was very flexible! Truly, a great experience!!

A true gentleman from the communication to appointment setting, to being a guide for every step of the way, I was allowed to just "be ". A dealer in Beauty, his make up chair is full of good conversation, deep client consideration, and really bringing out the inner beauty with the perfect lipstick hue. I was amazed to see such a transformation, and he really explained why and how he did the things he did as a goodie bag of knowledge to take home with me. I had brought many accessories, but he also provided, from the look board to final fits- Matthew brings vision to life! He instructed me to bring a Bluetooth speaker so I can play my music and it really helped with my comfort in finding my flow when in front of his lens. He made sure that I stayed hydrated and did frequent check ins, also his studio is centrally located, but has all the privacy. We were shooting for hours and each look gave new excitement. When I first got on set I've requested a mirror, and he just looked at me and asked if I could trust him a bit first, and let me tell you I'm glad I did. As he was shooting, he was conscious of the lighting, the drapery, and didn't just click away, studied me as a subject and guided me on poses to consider. His instructions were clear and there was absolutely no guesswork. And after each session, he would let me take a peek at the viewfinder, and I can still recall the squeals of excitement As I was finding a hard time recognizing the super model in frame! But that is truly the magic of Matthew Mitchell, he is a wizard. There are many photographers in this world, but the gym and diamond quality that Matthew Mitchell is brings the meaning to a whole new level.

Don was amazing and professional…read more He made our engagement photo shoot FUN! My fiance and I are HUGE Disney lovers and we wanted to have our shoot at our fave date night places. Don was accommodating enough to schedule a day for us. We wanted a more realistic photo shoot were it captures the fun we have at Disney but not in a cheesy way. Don was able to shoot us in a photojournalistic style and made sure we (especially my fiance) were comfortable. We loved the fact that he let us be natural and just captured the moments of joy that we have being together at Disneyland. Book Don if you want to feel comfortable, have some fun, and end up with incredibly creative and amazing photos.

The quality of the work was top notch and I found Don easy to work with and accommodating. I am happy to recommend him.
