Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: People fascinate me. The amazing thing to me about headshot & portraiture photography is that you can learn a lot about somebody, just by taking a look at a photograph of their face. Being responsible for bringing out your true personality in your headshot is a big honor for me. It's in these headshots & portraits that people who don't know you, will make assumptions on your character. People who do know you will look at the photograph, maybe today, maybe in 50 years, and think about the things they love about you. A headshot portrait is a powerful tool that we create together, to help people learn more about you. ​ I'm a professional headshot & portrait photographer from Liverpool, England. I moved to the States in 2011 and fell in love with the place ​I've been lucky enough to have spent the time since I moved here traveling around the country on assignments for different editorial publications worldwide. photographing people, doing what I love every day .Honestly, I consider it to be the best job on the planet My work has been published all over the world. In some of your favorite publications like People Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, Grazia Magazine. And in countries including the UK, Australia, France, Italy, Germany & South Africa ​I'm lucky enough to have been trained in Los Angeles by world renowned headshot & portrait photographer Peter Hurley, and fully subscribe to the idea that great technique, proper direction, and genuine expression based on trust, is the key to powerful, professional, portrait photography It's in LA where I met my beautiful wife, Catherine. She's a Colorado native. When I'm not in the studio or on location, you'll most likely find me off on some adventure with her and our pet Weimaraner dog, Winston. The rest of my family are back home in Liverpool. We're a very close family, so we try to get back there as often as possible to see them I work with businesses & brands large and small including Chevrolet, Los Angeles Galaxy, Nick Cannon Foundation, Justin Gelband, & House of Fitness, to create their bespoke headshots & portraits for company websites, literature, and press events I also work with high profile actors, actresses and entertainers to create their commercial and theatrical headshots and portfolios geared towards making the best impression on casting directors and agents ​Our relationship doesn't end after the shoot, either.

I needed a professional headshot for my realtor business. I'd never hired anybody on thumbtack before and I was glad I found Tony. He was booked up in the days after I contacted him but I let him know I needed the headshot ASAP and he managed to fit me in which I'm really grateful for. At no point did he make me feel like he was rushed though, he walked me through the process step by step and gave me lots of tips to look my best for the photograph. It was a fun shoot. I didn't realize so much work went into a headshot, but I see now what separates the average headshot from a great one. Now I've got a headshot that my colleagues are asking about. I think two have already had their headshots done by him since they saw mine! Hey Tony, I think I'm due a commission on them :)

I took my wife over to Tony's studio for a portrait session. He made us feel right at home with the comfy furniture and even fruit and chilled drinks! My wife got a makeover from his makeup artist which made her feel a million dollars, and the photographs were beautiful. Like something out of a magazine. He prints them, which I loved because there's something about having a physical print that makes it more meaningful. We left with 12 prints. We got the digital files too so the kids could put them online, but my wife and I adore the prints. I get so busy with work, it's special to me to have photographs of my beautiful wife. Such amazing quality and we can physically hold and show them to people when they visit our home. Highly recommended. We're lucky that he's right on or doorstep in Scottsdale. We'll be back to see him at Christmas.

I last had my headshots taken about 3 years ago so I came to Tony for some updated shots. I work in web design so i've been aware of how important having professional headshots for your websites, social media etc. is for a long time now (I signed up to yelp just to leave this review, which is why so I didn't put mine on here ;) - I can honestly say i've never been wowed by my headshots before. The photographs Tony took look like me, but better, if that makes sense? My skin looks great (even though it's not), my eyes sparkle, I was so proud of them. My boyfriend showed them off to his friends. Ha! Tony says it was me who did all the work but i'm not so sure. Nobody has taken a photograph this good of me before. He's got a great eye, and great lighting! I'll see you again when I need my next updated headshots, Tony. I wound dream of going anywhere else.

The consummate professional. We decided to give our website a more professional look and a friend who had her headshots done by Tony recommended him. We couldn't have been happier with the results. The photos looked great and everybody really enjoyed themselves during the shoot. I'll be honest and say I never really enjoy getting my picture taken, but Tony completely put me at ease, my wife even loved the picture he took of me!

I loved how smoothly everything went with the photo shoot. I really felt prepared and in safe hands. I hate getting my photos taken, I'm really self conscious but I love the shots I got at the studio. It's on all of my social media and website. People have commented on how great they look.
