My husband's agent loved Randy's work and sent him back for different set ups. Randy went above and beyond to create my new debonair look, a workout look and a homeless look. We couldn't be happier with the results! read more

Like many, needed to get some headshots done for professional on-line sites because my selfie, serial-killer looking one just wasn't cutting it! Reached out to Southbay Headshots and set up an appointment. Couldn't have been easier. Randy was great to work with and very professional. I feel the price was very reasonable as well. I was looking for that perfect shot to put up on my sites and instead got many "perfect shots" to choose from. You can go it alone for a headshot and take a chance, or you can go with a pro and be 100% certain. Totally worth and very glad I found this service. read more

I've been meaning to get professional headshots for a very long time and I finally got around to doing it. I found Randy on Yelp and could not be happier. Scheduling was super easy, the price was very reasonable, and communication was quick. Randy was very nice and answered all my questions before the appointment. The day of was super easy and I was very happy with the images. They were clear, great quality, and they were ready to look at the same day. I highly recommend Southbay Headshots! read more

Hiring Randy for your headshot is a no-brainer. He runs a gorgeous and spacious studio in Torrance with generous natural light and all the fancy gear you do/don't need. He's an incredibly experienced photographer mostly doing commercial work for major brands, which means he instinctively knows what will make a good headshot and how to capture it from you. He incorporated a ton of movement into our session, which gave my headshot a dynamic and engaging feel. He's a pleasure to work with during and after the session - photos were turned around next day and retouches were prompt and expertly done. Randy and the studio are wildly over-powered for the task, and you're therefore guaranteed to get photos you're happy with! read more

My husband and I were due for updated headshots. I scheduled on their handy online scheduler, paid the deposit and met him and his wife at their studio. Randy made the entire shoot process very comfortable, he was very personable, knowledgeable, and very easy to chat and laugh with. This translated getting multiple shots that we could choose from, at the end we had him edit a few photos as it was just too hard to chose 1. Thank you Randy for making a somewhat nerve wracking day from someone that's not comfortable taking pictures into a seamless, quick, and might I say "fun" enjoyable shoot. read more

Needed updated headshots for work. This was my first time with a professional photographer and wasn't sure what to expect. I had a great experience. The session was above and beyond my expectations as far as the preparation, direction, quality, friendliness, and number of shots. Randy is great to work with. It's also nice to get a little ego boost once in a while as well. I recommend! read more

I highly recommend Randy Schwartz! He took so many great headshots that I had a hard time choosing the best one(s). My personality came through in the pictures, and it was an all around great experience. read more

Randy was fantastic and my headshots looked amazing. Further more, he was able to turn them around in a couple days. Thank you Randy!

Absolutely fantastic!!! I had my headshot taken by Randy this week and I was blown away by the photos. He is friendly, professional, artistic, and extremely well organized. Once I sent a quote request, every instruction, quote, time, process were clearly communicated to me at all times I knew exactly what to expect. The studio is super cool too!! I ended up liking three versions of the headshot with various outfits and poses so I asked to have them adjusted/retouched which came out fantastic. I have already made recommendations to my friends. If I need another headshot, I know who to call - wherever I live, I will drive down to Torrance have it taken by Randy. Thank you so much!!!!!! read more

Randy is just amazing. I needed a rushed turnaround for a corporate headshot and Randy was able to deliver with amazing speed, thoughtfulness, and quality. What an exceptional value. I was not looking forward to this process at all, but Randy somehow managed to make it fun! He taught me how to engage with the camera and had me laughing throughout the session. The studio space in Torrance is huge and makes for amazing backdrop. I ended up selecting 1 with the studio backdrop and 1 with a green screen. Randy explained the easy ways I can change out the green screen backdrop down the road for maximum flexibility. I cannot recommend Randy highly enough - will be sending colleagues his way for sure! read more

Randy was the perfect quick photograph that I needed for some updated professional headshots. I saw his work on his website, booked online easily(love this!) and met with him in just few days notice.

He makes you feel comfortable and confident. Got tons of good shots and compliments. I would strongly recommend him! read more

Randy is simply fantastic and does amazing work. He was extremely responsive from the very beginning and was super accommodating. He let me know how the process worked on our first call, then worked with me to schedule a most convenient (for me) appointment. He is extremely buttoned up, very professional and made the entire photo shoot easy and comfortable. Cannot say enough about his follow up also - I ordered multiple headshots with his studio's background along with a couple of green screen options and they were very subtly touched up and made available to me virtually overnight. Plus, they came out incredibly well. My wife and daughter were so impressed, they will also be using him for their headshots. Cannot recommend Randy highly enough. Thanks Randy!! read more
