Theatrical Headshots

Theatrical Headshots work best when they test the fine line that separates the industry-standard from the creative-license: dramatic lighting, confident poses, and low-key, meaningful moments can really make the difference in a casting director’s choice.

Simply put, professional headshots help land professional opportunities.

Corporate Headshots

The Corporate Headshot is all about looking authentic and professional, yes… but who says it can’t also just look good?

With the power of smooth/even lighting, professionally-coached poses, and a smart, confident approach in mind, you too can get the best-looking visual representation around.

Executive Headshots

Executive Headshots are more broadside in their approach than corporate headshots: lighting is often symmetrical, pose is strategic but also more instinctual. The neutral grey backdrop helps keep the viewers focused on you, and the coaching is usually minimal because let’s face it- you already know your look.

Commercial Headshots

Commercial Headshots are meant to demonstrate you as a visual asset: often shot high-key (white or light gray backdrop) with anything from high-contrast to flat/even lighting. Depending on your preferred demographic, close-ups and props can also help show versatility in your portfolio.

Bottom line: casual poses, done with intention, sell really well.

Branding Imagery

Brand awareness is one of the primary components to effect business growth. Branding Imagery is a great way to build that awareness.

To better communicate your brand, it’s important to bring creative, subtle, and conceptualized approaches to your marketing materials. Headshots are foundational, but how else would you like to convey your brand? #letsaskben

Custom Stock Photography

Custom Stock Photography is the answer to the question: Why are generic stock photos so bad at building a company’s brand?

Your clients can tell the difference between authentic moments and staged ones. Professional photography can help your business convey much more nuance than basic stock images can ever hope to.

Ben is the consummate pro. We just had new head shots taken at our TV station, Fox 12, and he knocked it out of the park. He has a knack for making people relax and have fun during the process, while also making them look their best. We've worked with a lot of photographers over the years, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!

A great experience with a tremendously talented, friendly, professional photographer! I don't usually like having my photograph taken - I often look goofy in photographs - but Ben's lighting and composition made sure that he took very flattering, professional portraits.

Ben does a phenomenal job at making those of us who hate being in front of the camera actually enjoy getting our photo taken. Super professional, fun, funny, flexible and reliable.

What can I say? I enjoy helping people feel confident in front of the camera, and I pretty much live for the creative process: those moments when all the variables line up just right and we get the perfect shot... I just love it.
