Ethan was a pleasure to work with and produced multiple options for a top quality headshot. He is easygoing and talented, with a fully equipped studio. We went through several outfit changes over the course of 2 hours, and he allocated more time in case we needed it. Ethan was a referral from a trusted source, and I recommend him without reservation to my colleagues and friends. Great result, and a fun experience.

In my experience the most important part of a photographer is not their ability to take a good picture, but to direct the subject.I’m always incredibly awkward at posing for pictures, but Ethan was phenomenal at directing me in ways I had never thought of to ensure the picture came out perfect. He’s fun to work with, makes you feel comfortable and most importantly you’ll look at your pictures and say “damn I look good”.The quality you get is insane for the price, I can’t recommend Ethan enough!

Never had professional photos taken before, and I was pretty intimidated by all the great photos on Ethan's site. However, after a short time he had me working comfortably, and together we came up with some of the best images of myself that I have ever seen. He is very professional and dedicated to obtaining the best result. Worth it.

I highly recommend Ethan to anyone who wants warm and professional headshot . I had a wonderful headshot photo shoot! Ethan made me feel calm and relaxed to get the best headshot. It definitely took a few tries and he was able to capture multiple shots which I had a hard time to pick just one. Luckily, he also gave his expert opinion so I was able to choose the perfect headshot. Lastly, he made sure I was absolutely happy with the final picture I chose. I am more than happy with how my final headshot turned out. Thank you so much Ethan!

Ethan did an amazing job! I needed headshots done on a Sunday and he came through. He's professional, funny, and has a beautiful studio. I'd recommend anyone looking for a positive experience to reach out to Ethan ASAP.

I have had 5 head shots done throughout my lifetime. Like finding that perfect barber to cut your hair, it’s so hard to find a photographer to create that perfect head shot. I finally found that today with Ethan. Ethan is by far the best head shot photographer in the Bay Area.In addition, Ethan assisted with taking photos for my new brokerage’s website. He asked questions about my business before deciding on locations that would fit my brand. He was on point with the pictures he took. He had a full understanding on what type of pictures would best fit my website. I am extremely satisfied with the amazing results.Simply an amazing photographer overall. I will definitely refer him to all of my colleagues and partners that are in the finance and insurance industry!!

Ethan did a fantastic job helping our company take updated headshots for a new website. Several of us came in for an afternoon shoot. Ethan made sure we were prepared and everyone was comfortable. The process was not just painless, it was quite fun! And the photos came out beautifully. A great experience and even greater product! Would definitely recommend Ethan for professional photos.

Ethan was so wonderful to work with! He did our engagement photos, which required photography at several locations around the city, and was so accommodating and easy to work with. My partner and I are known for being awkward in front of the camera, but Ethan made us feel comfortable. We are very happy with his results and so glad we had Ethan take our pictures. (He was too nice and let us do photos on the weekend, but would recommend scheduling Monday-Thursday)
