I have been out of the game for five years or more, but recent circumstances have brought me back in. I needed some headshots fast! And I was unsure of what kind of headshots I would need because I have been blessed with various opportunities. Would I need actor headshots or corporate headshots? Fortunately, Eric Wood offered to photograph me. And he was able to provide me with both actor and corporate headshots. Eric Wood made sure the ambience at Zen Studios LA was safe, professional, and creative. I received more looks than I anticipated and I am going to be sifting through a fantastic portfolio soon because I trusted Eric's process and direction. Thank you Eric Wood and Zen Studios LA for being my new go to Studio for headshots in Los Angeles! read more

Armando did a fantastic job with my business professional headshot. It's clear how passionate and talented he is. Enjoyed the experience in his cool studio, and it was well worth the money--iPhone shots just don't do you justice!! 10/10 would recommend Armando to all friends and family. read more

Armando and Helen make such an amazing team and create the most comfortable environment. I was pretty nervous coming in because I'm normally pretty shy and I extra suck at getting in my zone to take pictures. I always feel so awkward I front of the camera but Armando did excellent at guiding me in how to pose and Helen was on top of it like my own personal stylist, she made sure everything was on point between shots all while having a good time I didn't even realized the time had passed so fast, I didn't want it to end lol. I had such a good experience 10 out of 10!! I'm just so glad I found this place, finally a google search paid off!! read more

See all

Awkward, cringey, uncomfortable. That's how I typically look in my pictures. So when I needed new professional photos, I was nervous. I crawled through the reviews and photos on Yelp and found Zen Studios. Once again the good people of Yelp delivered. I couldn't be happier with my new photos and Armando, the photographer. Armando was so upbeat, fun, communicative. At the shoot, he completely put me at ease and showed me different ways to pose that looked fresh and professional. After the shoot, Armando did a great job cleaning up the photos in a timely manner. There were lots of photos to choose from and I was able to download them all at home and show family and friends for input on which ones to choose. Pricing was very fair and payment easy and secure. Highly recommend and will come back for future photos. read more

I had an incredible experience at Zen Studios! As someone who gets terribly nervous in front of the camera, Armando helped me to to feel comfortable and confident. He guided me in the poses and I absolutely loooove the photos we got. So thankful for this wonderful experience! read more

Highly recommend coming here for any personal or professional photos! read more

Armando helped with the poses since I had no idea what I was doing. The headshots came out great.

For some upcoming industry speaking events, iPhone selfies weren't going to cut it any more, and I needed a professional headshot. After scrolling through many studios' portfolios, I was worried that I was destined for headshots from an 80's Sears photo studio, a la Stepbrothers. Fortunately, I found Zen Studios and they were available on a Saturday. The session was short and efficient, and the photos were fantastic. Armando was great to work with and made everything feel natural & easy. But what was most important at the end of the day was how modern and non-cringey the headshots turned out! read more

I was looking for last minute appointment for my professional headshots and I found Zen Studios on yelp. I didn't belive the 5 star rating until I tried it myself.

I highly recommend working with him, he pays good attention to details to enure that you will look like a Hollywood star in your photos. read more

Armando made me feel super comfortable, which is quite a feat, considering how shy and awkward I tend to be in front of the camera. I needed professional headshots in a hurry, and he made time for my last minute appt and did me a huge favor in retouching my pics over a holiday. I really love my photos and was pleasantly surprised at how easy the whole process was. I'll definitely return when I need an updated pic in the future. read more

I had an excellent experience working with Armando for both my acting and professional headshots. Armando makes you feel at home right off the bat, which helps with any nerves and anxiety. The studio environment is a professional and fun workspace. He gives great, clear, and easy directions during the photo shoot. He makes sure you are comfortable with any choices, such as positioning, backgrounds being used, different lighting, etc. It's a collaborative experience where you both work towards the same goal. The acting headshots I took last year with Armando were fantastic high-quality headshots and a great value. I knew when I needed to get my professional headshots taken this month, Armando was the only person I could trust to do the job. The headshots came out even better than I could have ever imagined. If you need headshots of any kind, Armando is the guy! read more

I found Armando through yelp and booked a photo shoot with him for headshots- they came out really GREAT! The whole process was super easy. I shopped around and gathered a few quotes through Yelp, and Armandos "business package" was definitely the best deal. I got to change my outfits a couple of times, and take several photos, all of which I had access to and got to select a photo I wanted to be retouched. Armando is super kind, responsive, and helpful, and the quality of the photos were amazing. I would definitely recommend trying him out for headshots as his prices are a steal and his work is 10/10! read more

I had an amazing experience with Zen Studios last month. Armando was so welcoming from the get-go, helping with parking and even offering to get me coffee. Once in the studio, he was incredibly encouraging and supportive which was great since I am not usually very comfortable in front of the camera. He made me feel so comfortable (confident even), hyping me up, and was very clear with his directions. The turnaround time for getting the photos back was remarkably fast as well. Amazing experience, 11/10. I can't recommend Zen Studios and Armando enough! read more

Do not hesitate to come to Armando for for professional headshots! A group of us came for medical residency photos and we are all extremely satisfied with his comfortable vibe, quick turnaround, and unbeatable talent. This is the first time I have taken headshots and I was nervous but he made me feel so at ease and the photos came out even better than I hoped. I considered asking a friend with an DSLR to take them but the investment is more than worth it, especially for such a high stakes application such as a career application. I will continue to recommend him to everyone I know and come back in the future if I need anything else. We street parked outside and there was some construction outside but the inside is gorgeous and clean with plenty of natural light and great music!! read more

My partner works between Los Angeles and North Carolina and he needed a professional business headshot quickly. I did my homework to research photo studios and could not be happier that I chose Zen Studios L.A. I have produced many photo shoots throughout my marketing career in the television industry so I'm experienced in quality photography and the art of making business professionals comfortable on camera. Zen Studios was professional, fast, and reasonably priced. Photographer Ted Sun has the art of making his subjects very comfortable on camera and the quality of the finished photos are outstanding. read more

I'll start with; There's a reason he has all these great reviews. From the first call to the final product, I had an amazing experience with Armando. He's extremely personable, professional and charming. This was my first time getting professional headshots and I was a bit nervous about it. I felt at ease from the very start. Just from our initial call, I could tell I was going to be pleased with the experience. He immediately made me feel relaxed and that I was in good hands. I was leery about choosing someone; worried I'd end up with bad photos. I selected him based upon his reviews, which were good enough to make me drive from Santa Clarita to West LA. We have great photogs out here too... The session was very comfortable and even fun! His comforting nature allowed me to feel less awkward :P I didn't think that would be possible! Within 48 hours of my session, I had my proofs for review. I had such a hard time picking because there were SO MANY good ones to choose from. Once again, within 48 hours of me selecting my images, I received my final shots. They are beautiful and will be perfect for their intended use! I plan on working with Armando again; both for headshots and family photos. He's the full package. He's got all the talent, professionalism and personality needed to deliver. If you need headshots - or ANY photos - call him TODAY. You won't regret it. read more

5 out of 5 stars! Armando is the best. I've never had professional headshots taken before, so I was a bit hesitant with the seemingly high price, but it was definitely worth every penny! My baseline levels of awkwardness are amplified as soon as I'm in front of a camera. Armando has an excellent demeanor and communication skills which helped me naturally relax and follow his direction. Besides his outstanding coaching, he is a master of lighting/photography and editing. I really like the way the final photos turned out. For those worried about visiting during COVID. He was taking the utmost safety precautions (e.g. practiced safe distancing, using ample amounts of hand sanitizer, always wearing a mask, etc). From a health perspective, I felt safe the entire time. read more

I usually don't write reviews but I do for this time because Zen Studios LA did AMAZING job! I wish I could leave much more stars. I was looking for someone who can take 5yrs old son's photo for preschool graduation. When I reached out them, they accommodated to our schedule, offered great options, took fabulous photos, communicated so closely, completed everything so quickly. Price was also reasonable. My son also enjoyed the session and wants them to have another photo session ASAP. We will definitely come back here when we want to have another one. Strongly recommended!! read more

I highly HIGHLY recommend this studio for your headshots! I've gotten headshots for $600+ and hated them. Zen Studios is priced amazingly and the photos are my favorites in a long time.

Thanks so much Armando!!! Love the photos!! read more

I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a professional photographer. 100% worth the money spent. read more

100% recommend. I needed a corporate head shot and found Armando on Yelp. Based on his portfolio and reviews, I decided to book a session. I was really nervous, since I hate how I look in pictures, but they came out terrific! Armando was the best, he's so nice and thoughtful, and immensely talented. Since I had no clue what I wanted, he tried so many variations and I was really happy with everything he had me try. After the session the turn around was really quick. Overall, it was a tremendous value for the price. read more
