I highly recommend Ethan for his professionalism, skilled photography, and overall creating a wonderful experience!! He was able to accommodate me with very short notice and delivered polished and beautiful headshots extremely quickly. As a scientist, I am not used to being in front of the camera, but he was able to make me feel comfortable throughout the photo shoot. He took time to make sure we got the best photographs, I spent 2-3 hours within the studio, as he guided me through poses, fixed my hair, and reviewed pictures with me. The pictures he took look beautiful, effortless, and professional. He is a great photographer, and a great guy. I highly recommend him!! Thank you again Ethan!!!

A Higher Standard of Professional Headshots in San Francisco
Not all headshots are created equal. Your headshot should look like you at your best, not like a passport photo with better lighting or a portrait trying too hard to be dramatic.
The difference is direction. Expression, posture, angle, lighting, and retouching all have to work together without making the image feel fake.
That is why every EMS Headshots session is built around careful lighting, clear coaching, image review, and detailed retouching. You are not left staring at a folder of awkward options trying to pick the least bad one.
From executives and business owners to attorneys, consultants, and teams, EMS Headshots is for people who understand that a strong image is part of how they are judged before they ever walk in the room.
If you’re searching for a headshot photographer near you that caters to your needs in San Francisco, EMS Headshots provides a relaxed, guided photography experience designed to help you look your best.
What Sets EMS Headshots Apart
Most people do not need more photos. They need better direction, better lighting, and one headshot that actually works where people see it.
• Clear direction so you are not guessing how to pose
• Lighting that accentuates and is built around your face
• Image review during the session so you leave knowing what worked
• Detailed retouching that removes distractions without changing who you are
• Creating the one headshot image you actually need — and will actually use.
