I've had two photo shoots with Armando here at Zen Studios LA and he has always been amazing. He is super friendly and enthusiastic and made sure that I was very comfortable during the shoot. Not to mention that the photos came out so good every time! I've never looked better in a photo. Armando is obviously super talented and skilled. I definitely highly recommend! read more

I had a wonderful experience shooting with Zen Studios! Armando and Aldo were total professionals and all around great people! The studio is spacious and fully equip with everything you could possibly need. They have great cameras, lighting and multiple backdrops. Whether you are shooting commercial, theatrical or work headshots, they have you covered. There is also a convenient back room where they have hanging racks for your clothes and a cute little setup for hair/makeup. I had my makeup done for my shoot. We talked about my casting and opted for a more natural look. I was really happy with how it turned out, and I am typically quite particular. The shoot itself went amazingly. Aldo and Armando made me feel incredibly comfortable. We shot 3 different looks. After the shoot, Aldo and Armando were prompt with reaching out with images for me to choose from. I am VERY happy with how they turned out. They captured a wide variety of expressions and the technical aspects of the images turned out great. They were perfectly lit and well framed. All in all, I highly recommend shooting with Zen Studios! read more

So thankful for Armando! He was an absolute gem to work with. I was asked to send in a professional headshot on very short notice. My friend helped me find a photographer Friday night, and BOOM! Not only did Armando have an opening next day Saturday afternoon, I received my photos before my deadline! He made me feel super comfortable which was super important for me. What I felt were "awkward" poses photographed so effortless. I highly recommend! Armando, thank you, you are so talented and passionate! read more

Taking selfies with friend and having 30+ minutes of professional photo session were quite different. My face started to twitch as I tried to awkwardly smile for corp. headshot. Armando was very patient and helped me loosen up to ultimately get an amazing shot!! Session extended further than the service but Armando was kind enough to neglect the extra time spent. There is also an option to expedite the editing process in case anyone is in a rush to submit your photo! read more

Got to go and take some headshots at Zen Studios and it was amazing! From the moment I entered, I was greeted kindly and there was a fun environment. Carla was my photographer and she always made me feel positive about how I was doing, making me laugh when I was getting too uptight, and got to really get some of my true essence in the photos. They were very accommodating and listened really well to my suggestions and also had plenty of their own leading to some wonderful looks and styles. If you are looking to get some headshots, don't bother blowing a massive load of money on some of these other headshots places. Go to Zen Studios, ask for Carla, and you will end up incredibly happy with real headshots that show who you are :) read more

"Excellence" is the easy way to describe in one word my experience at Zen Studios LA! I just got done my new Headshots with them and I loved them so much. The teem is super professional, warm, fun, easy going and prepared for success. I can't wait to come back for my print shoot with them soon... I highly recommend Zen Studios LA! read more

This place is the real deal. Armando is extremely talented and the staff is amazing. I went in for some headshots for my business and I felt really uncomfortable at the beginning since I've never done this before. My pics were showing it. But then they made me feel more comfortable by asking me questions and making me laugh and then my pictures started looking better. The final product came out amazing!!!!! Highly recommend this place!!!! read more

Armando is a pleasure to work with! He was very responsive right from the start when I reached out to him regarding corporate photos. Shooting during COVID was also a tad nerve wrecking but Armando took the proper precautions and did everything to make me feel at ease. Indeed, I was! The best part of working with Armando was the quality of his images. I truly enjoyed working with him as it was effortless. I would work with Armando again on future projects. read more

I needed some headshots for my LinkedIn profile. I was a bit nervous as this was my first time getting professional headshots, but it could not have gone better. Not only is Armando a truly talented photographer he is also a genuinely friendly guy. He helped me relax and showed me how to pose properly. You can tell he really cares about you and wants to make sure you're happy with the result. The headshots turned out great; I recommend him without reservation. Thanks Armando. read more

I found Zen Studios when I was trying to find a place to get my professional ERAS pictures taken. I really appreciated Armando's attention to detail when it came to the specific sizing needed for ERAS and my picture was perfect and ready to upload the very next day. He also has a very calm and welcoming demeanor and really made me feel comfortable and natural while taking my pictures. Armando even played some amazing Latin tunes for my sister and I during my shoot!

Zen was able to accommodate a photo shoot for my online business with short notice. The photographer was nonjudgmental and comfortable to work with. We collaborated the entire time and produced a ton of great pictures that I can use for promotional material and website design. Highly recommend this studio. read more

Had a shoot last Friday! Had an amazing time shooting Headshots with the team at Zen Studios. Their space was very inviting and warm. He photographers knew exactly what they were doing and I felt that I was in great hands throughout the entire shoot. If you or anyone you know needs headshots done, these are your guys! Models, actors, anyone in the industry, I would totally recommend Zen! read more

My experience with Zen Studios was great from the moment I stepped through the doors to the moment I left. The photos from the shoot turned out to be so useful, I looked fresh and professional. From the time I walked in I was invited by two friendly guys that brought my clothes to a rack so they stayed nice and straight from the shoot. They offered fruit and tea/coffee/water while I shortly waited for the makeup artist that they provided. When it was time for make up, the artist was so friendly and so kind as well! Not only did she do a fantastic job of doing my makeup she really listened to all of my request. She did above and beyond. I felt confident going into my shoot. They shot the first half with natural lighting in the front and soft lights in the back. When I walked out with my first look. Again, the photographer was warm and inviting and made it instantly comfortable to open up and allow myself to be me. Which was so valuable. They did a few looks with me. When it came to changing my look they were very patient when getting the hair to fall the right way and positive through the entire shoot. I felt so at ease at their location and I truly feel like it translated to the photos. I mustn't be called Zen Studios for nothing! Overall, they were accommodating and professional in every aspect. read more

This was my first time getting professional headshots taken so I didn't really know what to expect. Armando is a genuinely nice guy who wants to provide you with not just quality photos but also an overall quality experience. Everything about his service speaks to his professionalism - fair prices, easy to use website for booking appointments, responsive to emails, makes you feel really comfortable during the shoots and turns it into a fun experience, quick turnaround time for uploading photos, easy website interface that allows you to compare photos and star your favorite ones. Most of all - the final photos turned out great and I couldn't recommend Armando more. read more

Armando is very professional and made me feel very comfortable having head shots done for the first time. He has a great eye and really works with the best lighting/background to compliment you. I'd recommend Zen Studios to anyone who wants an honest individual who will take care of you! Thanks Armando! read more

Had a shoot with Armando the other day at the studio. Very nice setup with professional equipment for rental. Or if you need headshots or other portrait services, great prices. Armando is easy to work with and personable with the clients read more

Incredible team at zen studios!! I'm not a model whatsoever so I was insecure at first but they made me feel comfortable, gave me direction & by the end I loved posing. The camera doesn't lie so if you go somewhere crappy to save $ then don't waste your time even shooting. Not only is this spot affordable but their positive energy will only make you smile bigger:) read more

Super professional, I got some great shots, such perfectionist. Will definitely be going back for some headshots

Super professional and easy-going...I got a nice looking headshot for my MBA job hunting, they really know how to get people evolved in the picture...Millions of thanks! read more

My three children have had more than 10 photoshoots and the one with Zen studios is my favorite. What they have is simply the intangible of getting the best shots. They are amazing at working the kids into picture excellent frame of minds and poses! Their eyes pop like I have never seen before. I can't speak highly enough of my experience, they are simply amazing. We will definitely be hiring them again, very soon. read more

We booked Headshots for our daughter and Kenny and Armando were fabulous! This was her first photo shoot and They made her feel very welcomed and comfortable right from the start. Very friendly and professional. The photographs were perfect! They both have a lot of experience with knowing what lighting works best. Unlike a lot of places they were both interested in the quality of work rather than how much time or money was spent. Would definitely recommend anyone here. Great work and wonderful professional people. Thank you both for an amazing experience. read more

Had a great experience taking headshots at Zen Studios!! Parking was super easy find! I felt welcomed right when I first entered; they offered me a bottled water and before we began, they were open to sitting down with me so we could discuss how I wanted them to capture during my pictures during our session. Carla was an awesome photographer and really listened to what I wanted, and she made our session fly by because we just had so much fun. They also blasted the music of my choice... Britney Spears! :) Armando was also on site and had great feedback for me. They were both also great with giving direction, but were very collaborative in what I wanted from my shoot. I loved that they showed me my pictures throughout the shoot; I really felt like I was part of the entire process! Their pricing was great compared to other overpriced studios, and you get exactly what you need! Headshots don't need to be super expensive if done right and these guys get it right! Call Carla and she'll hook it up! xo read more

This place kicks ass! We book the studio at least once a month, and it's always a breeze! Armando takes care of us! Plus, everyone loves the furry swing! read more

I literally just got in my car after shooting a two look headshot session w them and they are flawless. Great team for me today. The makeup artist Tripoli was perfection. She nailed the soft natural look while still maintaining my personality and comforting to shoot with a photographer who knows what he is doing. Will definitely be maintaining contact for future shoots as needed. read more

Zen Studios LA is my favorite photography studio for professional headshots that I've ever been too. The owner was very accommodating and professional. I believe the photographs he took of me are the best I've ever had because he did such a great job of setting me at ease...he really brought out the most natural poses that I didn't even know I could do. Zen Studios has the magic ingredient that will make this place my home for any photographic needs I have: laid back attitude with impeccable professionalism. I didn't think that existed in LA but Zen truly lives up to its name. Thank you Armando for the best headshots I've ever received. I feel lucky to have found them. read more

Being at Zen Studios was a great experience. Photoshoots usually make me nervous, but this one was more fun, like I was among friends. The photographer did a nice job directing me (I'm not good at posing). He was also skilled at lighting my photos. The lights were flattering for someone with asymmetrical features, like me. Zen Studios is professional, friendly, and efficient. Everyone go here for your pictures! read more
