Professional Headshot Photographer in San Francisco
I’m Ethan Michael Strong, a San Francisco based photographer specializing in professional headshots, corporate headshots, LinkedIn headshots, and portrait photography throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area.
My goal is simple: create modern, professional images that help people look confident, approachable, and authentic.
Whether you’re updating your LinkedIn profile, building your personal brand, scheduling corporate headshots for your company, or looking for a professional headshot photographer in San Francisco, every session is guided from beginning to end to create polished, natural results.
A Personalized Headshot Experience
Talking to my clients and getting to know them on a more personal level is what helps create strong, authentic photographs.
Every person who comes to my studio receives a one-on-one, personally guided experience designed to make the process comfortable and stress-free.
I understand that many people are not comfortable in front of the camera. Some clients are nervous or unsure how to pose, and that’s completely normal. My job is to help you feel relaxed, confident, and comfortable while guiding you through the entire process.
From expression coaching and posing to wardrobe guidance and image selection, every detail is carefully designed to help you look your best.
Professional Headshots Designed to Stand Out
Whether you’re scheduling:
• LinkedIn headshots
• Corporate headshots
• Executive portraits
• Personal branding photos
• Creative or artistic portraits
• On-location headshots for teams
I’ll guide you through the process from beginning to end.
I love capturing genuine personalities, natural smiles, confident expressions, and professional images that feel real—not overly posed or artificial.
Every session is customized to create images that reflect who you are while maintaining a clean, modern, professional look.

Professional Retouching & Attention to Detail
Every final image is professionally retouched by hand using a clean, natural editing style.
My goal is never to overly edit or make clients look artificial. Instead, I focus on refining each image carefully while maintaining realism and authenticity.
Every final image is polished for:
Skin tone and texture
Color balance
Lighting consistency
Stray hairs and distractions
Clean, professional presentation
The final result is a polished professional headshot designed to represent you at your best.
