I mean...I'll just post my favorite shots so you can see what I'm talking about...I LOVED my shoot with Nogen, he's super friendly which made me very comfortable and free AND he's a great director. I feel he got so many different essences out of me regardless of the "looks" I was going for. He's a total rockstar! read more

Working with Nogen was an awesome experience. Beyond the fact that the shots came out beautifully (and truly captured what I was going for), the whole process felt collaborative, professional, and fun. He has a sharp eye for detail and an ability to help the actor become present to bring out authentic expressions, which made narrowing down my choices the hardest part (which is a good thing!). On top of that, he's a great person to work with: he's welcoming, patient, and thoughtful. Also - His dog is the sweetest and added to the grounding and calm vibe in the studio! I walked away not only with headshots I love, but also with the feeling that I'd genuinely enjoyed the process. Highly recommend Nogen to anyone looking for images that feel cinematic, genuine, and alive. read more

Nogen is truly the best of the best! I first shot with Nogen in 2017, and wildly enough, his headshots have been my primary headshots my agents submitted over the past 6+ years! He works so CONCISELY, capturing emotions and directing the shoot in a way that only he can (I've shot with plenty of photographers! He's one of a kind)! Almost every shot is usable! He doesn't snap photos just because. The downside of this is that you have so many great photos to choose from, that you can't decide which ones to upload for your agents! I just shot with him again in late January, and am amazed once again at what he captured! Whether you've never gotten your professional actor's headshots before, or you're a pro who knows your vision for the shoot, you will not regret choosing Nogen as your photographer! read more

Favorite headshots yet! Nogen's the best - He knows how to create a synergistic experience that makes it more of a collaboration vs. "OK let's get the look... so do it and look natural." (And awkward) I didn't feel awkward so he pretty much captured me. Plus he's alot of fun and has the sweetest, pup! I highly recommend Nogen for headshots.... I've had dozens of experiences not getting what I wanted - so don't waste time, money or energy - going with anyone else. He will make sure you get what you need - in pre-production and day of. read more

Nogen Beck Photography - Photographers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was lucky enough to received a complimentary "one look" photo shoot with Nogen Beck. During my shoot, Nogen made me comfortable & confident. He showed me a few shots he took of me. To be honest, I did not like them and thought the pictures would not be so good. BUT when I finally received all my shots.... wow! I look great! That's a lot coming from me. I usually do not like photos of myself. read more

A big fan of Nogen. I've never felt more at ease while getting my headshots taken. A true talent and a solid guy.

Nogen was truly AMAZING! Blessed to have been referred to him by industry folks and WOW! I usually anxious dread my headshot sessions and over prepare which of course I did but Nogen made me throw all that away and just be ME! He made the whole experience fun easy and creative. He is a master at his work, a true artist with a great eye for details, backgrounds, lighting and of course his subjects. I would highly recommend and will be back when I need shots again! read more

I have had multiple headshot sessions and I am extremely conscious of taking still pictures of myself. As an actor, I needed someone to understand how important it is for an actor's headshots to be undeniable, it's a calling card that can make or break your next opportunity, the impression a casting director will have of you from the quality of your headshot. Nogen understands this and furthermore, helps to navigate these sensitive and vulnerable topics with ease and intelligence. Nogen is very well spoken and easy going, a fantastic director and photographer, his understanding of backdrops, outfits and expressions / body language is impeccable. Headshots with Nogen Beck are a no--brainer investment. read more

Nogen is a master at his craft, attention to detail is his specialty. Not only that I had alot of fun, with both him and Bowmen ( i hope i spelled that correctly) the makeup artist. I'm usually filled with aniexty at the thought of headshots, however Nogen created such a exciting and safe space to let loose and let go. THANK YOU read more

I cannot say enough kind things about Nogen Beck. He inspired me to bring out the best version of myself. I was blown away with the power he brought out of me in my images. HIGHLY recommend Nogen for your Headshot photos. read more

I don't know how it could get any better than Nogen. Not only was his product absolutely the best (I got the best pics ever taken of me, and more than I even knew what to do with!), the process was easy, clear, and comfortable before, during, and after. He was so encouraging and a great coach, plus he captured it all. I would not go anywhere else for headshots... read more

Nogen is amazing! He helps turn a potentially anxious and difficult experience into a fun and exhilarating collaboration. Highest recommendation. read more

As an act or, there are a few things you really need to look at when choosing a headshot photographer. First, obviously, you find a style that you like. Then you look at pricing, and finally you reach out and get a feel for how the photographer is/handles their business. I can tell you that Nogen hits 5 star energy on all fronts. First off, I ADORE his styling for headshots, they have just the right amount of light and energy that I was looking for. Second, in terms of pricing, Nogen is more on the mid to high range, but he is WELL WORTH IT. ANNNDD he offers a payment plan, which honestly I hadn't seen before and was very helpful for me as the one lump sum situation tends to hit me hard. And, probably my favorite aspect, Nogen is SO professional and caring. He calls to talk over what you're looking for, asks you to bring a suitcase of clothes that he does actually look at, and once in his space, he creates such a beautiful and comfortable flow. I mean truly, I felt like a movie star and that level of comfort and energy is what we want! He also has so many backdrops to offer that make the photos so dynamic. oh oh, and one more thing. He asks you to bring outfits that you feel best in, that are your favorites. DON'T DISREGARD THIS. Those ended up being some of my favorite shots, and it wasn't necessarily the typical "headshot look" read more

BEST SHOOT EVER! I was very pleased with my experience with Nogen and his team. They took the time to really discuss May overall goals and made suggested that we're specifically tailored to my overall goal. Not to mention Nogen is probably one of the most detailed photographers that I've worked with. He caught the misplaced fly aways all the way to collar being flipped. I will definitely be back for a shoot with my natural curls. read more

Working with Nogen was such a joy! I came into our headshot session feeling nervous but then immediately felt comfortable once meeting Nogen, the great makeup artist Karissa and the rest of the team. Nogen walked me through the process step by step and made sure I felt that he was capturing the essence of each character specific to each look. Nogen is also hilarious and made me laugh throughout the whole session. I would definitely recommend Nogen to any actor & dont hesitate to book with him! He's for sure my new favorite headshot photographer that I will continue to work with. read more

Nothing but positive things to say about Nogen. With SO many options out there it can get pretty confusing, but if you like his style just take the leap and book him. He made me feel so comfortable, able and empowered throughout the entire shoot. He was super hands on with wardrobe, makeup & obviously the pictures themselves, but always wanted my okay throughout and listened to exactly what I wanted to achieve. I'm totally in love with my shots (which has definitely not always been the case with my headshots before) and will 100% go back to Nogen when I need to get updated shots! read more

Amazing photos! He is sweet and professional. Can't wait to post these to my website and other acting sites. He put me at ease, and I really enjoyed our session. And I got to meet his dog so all in all a great afternoon! read more

I can't even begin to describe how great my experience with Nogen was! From the consultation, to the pre-shoot prep, the studio, atmosphere, and of course, Nogen's unmatched eye, this is the BEST, and yes I mean BEST, headshot session I've ever had. I've never felt more relaxed, better directed, or more satisfied after a shoot. Nogen's is the ONLY photographer I'll ever see for for headshots moving forward! 10/10 read more

I was a headshot virgin and looked at many photographers to be my first. I knew when I found Nogen and speaking with him that he was THE ONE. Not only did a working actor who I know highly recommend him, but his passion and knowledge about his work was infectious. He had a whole PDF on the art of headshots and his learnings over the years, which totally got my number. And beyond that, he worked with me every step of the way, from nailing down my looks/types to choosing outfits on the day that would best personify those looks to meet our goals. He also made me feel completely at ease and allowed me to bring out my essence during the shoot, which translated to the photos! I got so many great shots from 4 looks (like at least 50 GREAT shots) and I can't wait to get these out into the world. read more

Nogen was generous with his time, and made me feel comfortable. He had me laughing the entire time. My agents loved his work, and I couldn't be happier. A stellar human. read more

Best headshot experience I've ever had. I'll literally never choose a favorite haha he's amazing and personable. Anytime I had questions he was happy to answer and he went out of his way to make me feel at home during the shoot. Hannah did amazing makeup and helped fluff my hair between every look. Dream team!! read more

Nogen is the greatest!!! Made me feel very comfortable and got the best shots imaginable

I was skeptical at first. However, I actually enjoyed my photo session with Nogen. He was fun and professional, used the right technique to get the expression required. Would definitely recommend him. read more

The easiest, least stressful headshot session I have ever experienced! I cannot count how many headshot photographers I have used over the years, where I have walked away, disappointed in my look or the shot itself, or with the overall experience. Nogen made the entire experience so personal and specific, starting off with a consultation before the day of the actual shoot, all the way through to the end. After deciding TOGETHER what wardrobe worked for what looks, he made sure that I was happy with the looks, that my shots were flattering AND MOST IMPORTANTLY showcased personality and feeling. I will definitely be coming back :) read more

Nogen is hands-down the best headshot photographer I've worked with, and I've worked with a LOT. He expertly guides you through the process, from the very first consultation phone call before you've even signed up all the way through to selecting and putting the finishing touches on the final images. Why Nogen over anyone else? He understands actors and he understands the craft of headshot photography specifically - refreshing given how many "headshot photographers" out there understand neither . I was seriously blown away by his ability to speak the language of acting: from discussing type in our consultation, to choosing the right outfit for what we were going for, all the way up to the actual shoot itself. His manner and direction made me incredibly comfortable and relaxed during the shoot, allowing my true self to shine through. With each look he brought me through entire arcs of multiple particular mood, making sure we covered our bases and had tons of options to choose from with each look. I had a wealth of great shots to narrow down, and he's very generous in fine-tuning more than a handful of final selects. Would absolutely go back to Nogen any time I need photos in the future. read more

This review is long overdue but is definitely necessary. Nogen was amazing. From the moment we spoke over the phone to discuss the looks that I was going for to the actual headshot session, everything was seamless. His expertise and knack for perfection put me at ease throughout the entire headshot session. Getting headshots done can at times become a very anxiety-driven process, but I instantly knew I was in good hands. Needless to say, the photos came out beautiful. Both my manager and agent were beyond pleased with the results. Shortly after uploading my headshots to LA Casting, I began getting more callbacks and was even put on avail for a big commercial. Thank you Nogen! I look forward to working with you again. read more

Nogen is so good at what he does. What a great day. I'm very pleased with the results read more

Working with Nogen was an absolute blast. He's professional, approachable, and passionate about what he does. His relaxed demeanor allows for fun and collaboration before and throughout the shoot which results in amazing shots. I honestly can't say enough great things about my experience! read more

I finally found a headshot photographer who gets it! I can't tell you how many photographers I've shot with in LA that simply don't listen and do their own thing without regard to the clients desires. But Nogen was so different. He really listened and saw me. Even when he felt I was uncomfortable with a background, he without hesitation inquired about my concerns and within minutes we had a new background I loved. Honestly, my shots are so good I cldnt believe that was me. Lol - I Love his edginess yet softness his photos have. Let the bookings begin baby. Thank you Nogen for an amazing experience. read more

My headshots with Nogen over exceed my expectation and I couldn't be happier. Before the shoot he gave me a break down and allowed me to have my own artistic view while directing me towards the best outcome. I felt so confident with Nogen and he made it very easy and super fun! He knows exactly what he is doing and knows the industry well.. his attention to detail is impressive and is pure joy to work with. Karissa's work was fantastic and creates looks that bring out the best of you. I am so grateful for these two and I can't wait to work with them again. Highly recommend! Thank you thank you! read more

The best photos that anyone has ever taken of me! Nogen is so incredibly skilled at his craft and directs you as an actor with such fine attention to detail! He made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the whole shoot, and it really showed in the final images! My best friend saw the raw images and was so impressed that she ended up getting new headshots with him too! In the lead up to the shoot Nogen and I had an in depth discussion about what I was aiming for, and he had detailed practical suggestions and guidance on how to achieve exactly what I needed. Karissa was amazing with my hair and make up too! If you want headshots that really capture the essence of who you are, then Nogen is definitely the photographer for you! read more

Nogen and Karissa were both so cool and professional! The experience was so fun and chill and the results were wonderful! I absolutely highly recommend Nogen to anyone looking for great headshots! read more

Nogen Beck made my headshots look phenomenal!

Nogen is a an incredible photographer and director. From the pre-shoot session discussing goals, all the way through processing finals, he made the process of getting new headshots easy and enjoyable. These are by far the best headshots I've received, as well as the most fun I've had going through the process. CANNOT recommend him and his team enough. So grateful for the experience. read more

If you're looking for a talented photographer for headshots that is a great dude, your search is over. One of my close friends recommended him to me earlier this year but because of Covid we had to reschedule a couple times. I loved his work, my friends shots popped and I felt this would be great for me to have in my portfolio. Before the shoot we spoke on the phone as well as via email just so we could be on the same page about what I was going for. He even gave great suggestions with looks, types and wardrobe. On shoot day I came in and just had fun. He works with the most professional of makeup/ hair people and they made me feel like a million bucks, just what I needed to have a great shoot. I love my headshots and I know you will too! read more

Absolutely the best for professional headshots. Does wonders with less than perfect looking people. Great choice for a business website. Went to Nogen after another 5 star photographer got some awkward looking shots. His work is amazing read more

I had a great experience working with Nogen Beck. He calls before the shoot to Make sure we were in the same page in regards to the pictures, which was very helpful I got pictures not only for my headshots but also horizontal ones for my website. The entire experience was professional and the pictures turned out amazing. Never had such a hard time picking pictures, they were ALL great read more

Nogen is awesome! Had a great time shooting with him and genuinely excited by the results.

With there being so many options for headshot photographers in LA I felt so overwhelmed trying to figure out who would be best for me. After being referred to Nogen Beck twice by two different people within a few weeks I knew I had to check him out. Firstly, I'll say that I was impressed with the quality of his work on his website but what really knocked my socks off was the free e-book that he offers on his website. The meticulous detail that he put into creating this informational book impressed me so much. Not only does it show how much he knows about headshot photography, but to me I see an artist who loves and deeply cares about what he does. Within a day of reaching out, we were on the phone discussing and collaborating about ideas for the shoot. Showing up to the shoot I was a bit nervous because I'd never had professional photos taken before. He picked up on it instantly and made me feel so at ease. He had a keen sense of figuring out my personality almost instantly and just knew how to speak and act to make me feel comfortable and to open up and trust him with the shoot. Lots of funny stories, loud music and tons of laughs. Great vibes all around. My pictures turned out incredibly and I felt over the moon that I was so lucky to have found such a wonderful and attentive photographer to guide me through this process. I feel like Nogen is a part of my team and I credit him as helping me take a huge first step in my acting career. Thank you so much, Nogen! You're the best! I'm looking forward to working with you again in the future! :) read more
