Austin is very friendly and easy going. I’d get photos with him again. Good price too.
What I liked…
We talked for a bit before the photos over tea and figured out what to wear and shared about ourselves.
His apartment was clean.
He gave feedback between the different looks while we reviewed the photos which was helpful.
He didn’t rush the process.

Austin made me feel quite comfortable during the shoot. The shots are true to life and he captured the eyes perfectly. I love my new headshots and so do my on-​camera and print agents. I highly recommend working with Austin!

If you’re in need of headshots, look no further! Austin is your guy. I’ll elaborate:
1. You can’t beat the price-​quality combo here. Headshots can be unnervingly expensive, not to mention frequently mediocre. Austin knows what he’s doing and, as an actor himself, knows what a fair price looks like.
2. He has the ability to make people feel comfortable and relaxed around him. You’ll look like yourself because you’ll feel like yourself in his company. Highly important when it comes to headshots.
3. He makes sure the session is about you looking good, not him. Some photographers are too focused on their own portfolio to notice their subject isn’t exactly shining through the fancy lighting and scene design. You’ll be the clear star of Austin’s photos.
4. He’s way talented. I never look at the shots from my photographer friends before touch-​ups, but Austin wanted us to look through my first shots to make sure we were getting what I wanted. They were so good! That alone relaxed me for the rest of the shoot and there were many photos I could have submitted without touch-​ups if I’d needed to.
And if you still need a reason to rush to the phone and call, here it is:
He’s just a really good guy to know.
So…go on now. :)

I have hired Austin for several years to take photos for my large themed parties and honestly I can’t think of anyone else that I would want to take on that task. My guests always love him, he has loads of creativity, a professional attitude and most importantly a great sense of humor. He has taken pictures of my Scenic Designs that have gotten me work. I have seen him being hired from the Chicago Reader to many actors in town wanting quality head shots.
To be honest ya better get him now before it costs too much to hire this guy!
John Wilson–

I have been friends with Austin for years. I’ve known him to wear a lot of caps, but photographer suits him very well. I was involved with his early projects to get his portfolio seen. Once I saw the results of his creativity, I knew I needed to get my headshots with him. He is very knowledgeable about aesthetic and lighting, as he is an actor himself, and he knows how to get the right look from his subjects. He works very hard, and very attentively on his jobs, and will work with you to get exactly what you are looking for. I don’t know if and when I will get new headshots, but I know who my photographer will be.

How often have you heard someone say, «Wow! Those are some of the most beautiful headshots I’ve ever seen!» ?
Right. That’s why I made an appointment with him.
In addition to being extremely cool, and making you feel very at ease, he’s extremely talented and creative — instead of standing me in front of a sheet with lights all around, we basically walked down the alley in his neighborhood, and he searched out interesting and colorful backgrounds. Nearly every shot came out stunning.
He also gives you a DVD of all your images to immediately take home, and retouches the best few shots. Totally worth it.

I cannot say enough good things about Austin. Not only is he a wonderful photographer, he makes you feel super comfortable.
I’ve been a friend of his for years and he impressed me so much with his professionalism. Austin did my headshot session and some promo shots for my business partner and I (including my profile photo). He is marvelous! He made us laugh, he made us comfortable and he was very creative. Our favorite shots were the ones he took when we weren’t paying any attention!
Austin knows what he’s doing. We will absolutely be recommending him to our brides!

I couldn’t be happier with my headshot experience with Austin. Not only did I come out of our session with some great headshots that I love, but Austin made the shoot a ton of fun and made me feel very relaxed and at ease. As someone else mentioned, he knew exactly how to communicate what he wanted from me in a way I understood, which some photographers can’t do. I also loved that I was able to take away a CD of the day’s shoot right away to start getting opinions from my friends and get my retouched prints the day after I reported back to Austin which 3 I wanted. All in all, I was incredibly impressed with Austin’s professionalism and talent. Would very much recommend to any actor looking for new headshots.
