Introduction: While I have been shooting professionally for about ten years, I still approach every job with the objective to create art, not just to shoot a likeness. An image to make the viewer smile, then, a moment later, still with a smile, say "yeah, THAT's Joe!" I have a studio in Glens Falls, which gives me more flexibility than most photographers. While natural light is beautiful and is perfect for certain situations, a studio offers additional options that work better for others. I can offer you the best photographic options for your portrait. In addition, the halls and grounds of the Shirt Factory can make for their own backdrops in natural light! I am always learning, and I hope never to stop learning about photography! I have studied at the International Center of Photography. I get inspiration from masters such as Steiglitz, Weston, and ManRay, as well as innovators like Annie Leibowitz. I study peoples' portfolios on Flickr and 1X, and keep a set of inspirations on Pinterest that I adapt for my own work. I look forward to bringing out the unique personality of you in our next shoot! Oh, and by the way, it you are looking at that 'prices starting at$80' and thinking I must be a hack, that is for studio headshots! Isn't $80 a fair price for a shoot that usually takes about 20 minutes for one final image?

As someone who knew little about photography but was in dire need of updated headshots, Behoff Photo was incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable, to go along with a price that could not be beaten elsewhere. The final product was exactly what I needed, and was of fantastic quality. Having his own studio made the process that much easier as well. I highly recommend Behoff Photo to anybody in need of a photographer in the Glens Falls/Saratoga Springs area. Thank you Brian!

Highly recommend Behoff Photo for headshots. Besides a great price, the quality is so much higher than others I have had done, and Brian will work with you on the proofs to assure you get what you want. The shoot was easy and Brian will take the time you need to get results! Overall, I had a great experience and would gladly use again and refer others.

Had so much fun doing a boudoir style photo shoot with watermelon for a food calendar with Brian. Him and his wife made me feel very comfortable the whole time. Would recommend!

Brian is a true professional whose patience, experience and creativity produced great results for my web project. As a subject, I was a complete newb, but working with him was easy and comfortable. I highly recommend.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge for shooting time. Editing is included in the price. There is an extra fee for travel time beyond 10 miles of Saratoga Springs, which covers not only the time it takes me to get to a location, but also schlepping the gear that is usually necessary for on-site shoot!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I talk with a person prior to the shoot to discuss objectives. This can be on the phone or via text/email. A portrait session typically lasts about an hour, though sometimes more depending on how many people, outfit changes, and location changes. After the shoot I put your lightly edited proofs on a secure web page where you select the images you would like the final editing done.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
For a number of years I took classes at the International Center of Photography in NYC. Starting with the basics of digital I have been progressing to more creative subjects under the guidance of experienced professional photographers. I also read as much as I can online, and take various online classes (usually of a technical nature, such as a recent intensive class on converting to balck and white)
