Working with Guy was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He has that rare eye for detail that sets him apart--he noticed and captured all the small moments and angles that most photographers would miss. But just as important, Guy made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. That's no small feat. There's something about the way he directs without overwhelming, makes you laugh without forcing it, and creates a calm, natural environment that lets your true self come through. That kind of presence behind the lens makes a huge difference in the final product--and it absolutely shows. On top of that, the turnaround time was fast, the free digital copy was beautifully edited and easy to access, and the whole experience felt smooth and effortless. 10/10 recommend. Guy is a total pro and someone we'd work with again in a heartbeat. read more

Simply put, he is the guy you should go to if you want a headshot. He knows what he's doing and is very helpful read more

Guy Viau Photography - my headshot - Session Photography Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We just worked with Guy for my daughter's headshots and are so pleased with the results. I looked at many options and Guy's artistic style really stood out to me, as you could see the authenticity of the people captured through his shots. The elite acting school my daughter attends also has him on their selective shortlist. Before the shoot, we had a long conversation and Guy told me how he works and what to prepare. Besides a photographer he's also a stylist, so he said bring a few outfits and he'll help style her look. No pressure to pick which number of shots we wanted. Guy was very friendly and talkative. He asked for my daughter's favorite music that he could play for her during the session. Guy guided her how to relax her mouth and smile to get subtle differences in her looks. He took so many beautiful and different shots, we loved them all. I would highly recommend Guy if you want beautiful photography. read more

Guy exceeded my expectations. Out of all the other photographers in the area, Guy had the particular background and lighting I was looking for. I easily reached out to him to set up an appointment. When I arrived, Guy was very professional and personable, walking me through the photography process. I brought with me some limited clothes because all the clothes I previously had were burned in the Palisades fire. Guy was very kind, providing a couple of the clothes he had available for the photo shoot. He provided variations of the particular background and lighting and showed me the results throughout the shoot. I got the shots I was looking for. Thank you Guy! read more

What an amazing experience a photoshoot with Guy is! My 16 year old son who is into modeling, needed to update his headshots. I chose Guy because of his unique background, and he exceeded our expectations. All aspects of the process are done with such thoughtfulness and professionalism. From the music choice, to his directives; my son was feeling at ease and having fun with it. Guy spoke to us and mentored my son on the direction to take with his career goals in modeling. And the final product is a masterpiece! This is my son's 4th photoshoot and by far, the best! I recommend Guy Viau without any reservations. read more

Guy is amazing. He has done headshots for my family for over 10 years. He is a professional and his rates are affordable considering he offers superior high quality shoots. His studio is set up at his home. So you get the studio look and some outdoor shots. Nice clean private changing room and bathrooms to use. Look at his portfolio for proof of the work he does. I like that he works with any ages. He is a father and parent which is important for kids to feel comfortable and he has a lot of patience. He goes above and beyond to deliver amazing photos. He also does business photos. I highly recommend him to adults/kids. His photos made it easy for my family to sign with agents and that led to some bookings on CW and Hulu etc. IMO professional high quality shoots are important. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Guy (pronounced Ghee) for a head shot session. I found him in an unusual way- my wife has the gift of accessing the Universal truth of any subject- it's quite a gift. She tested that it was time for a new head shot for me, and that the best photographer for me was in Culver City. I gave her a list of the photographers in that city, and she tested that Guy was the guy for me. I met Guy for the session just a few days later, and had a very pleasant work session and chat. He knows his craft! There was no pomp or fluff, no ego trips, just a pleasant, efficient and very effective session in his lovely home studio. He put me at ease and coached me with just the right cues to get great shots, and in short order, I had dozens of great photos- any number of which would do the job for me. He also went above and beyond the basics by accommodating my request for something extra. Guy also includes re-touching of 1 photo in the session price. He did an outstanding job on that re-touch and had it in my inbox less than 24 hours after our session. His pricing for sessions and additional re-touches is quite reasonable-especially for Southern California. I found Guy to be genuine, sincere, talented and ready to please. I had a great experience, and I will now recommend Guy to anyone who needs a pleasant, efficient photo session with outstanding results. In my experience, this Guy is first-rate! Easiest 5-Star review I've ever given, and the Universe seems to concur... Thanks Guy! JohnFisherActor.com read more

I called Guy looking for a professional headshots for my son. My son has a little bit of stage fright so I was worried the photoshoot would not go well. When we got to his studio, he talked with my son and made him relaxed. He picked out the outfits while taking my son's opinions. He had very relaxing music and the way he directed my son, it was so good and natural. We got great shots with such a relaxed ambience.

If you need headshots--hire Guy. It is quick, painless, and inexpensive. I called on a Monday afternoon and by end of day Wednesday I had two amazing headshots, suitable for all of my professional needs. By Thursday afternoon, one of them had been published in an international trade publication--so well worth every penny. I would have been mortified had I gone with my earlier ideas of getting a friend to take a few snaps. He is so professional, experienced, efficient--he knows the art of the headshot well and dials it in immediately. You get all of your images before you leave your session, my 45-minute shoot had almost 500 pictures! He gives your selected images the most polished retouching, leaving you looking like a slightly better version of you and not too overdone. read more

Hi Guy, I know you see a lot of people and probably don't remember me. I was new to the business and you did my headshots last year. You gave me a handout with a guideline to getting started. I used the guideline and signed with an agency. With your headshots, guideline, and taking the time to choose the best shots; I have had dozens of auditions and booked two commercials. Just wanted to give you a quick shout out! Thanks Juan read more
