Swanda & Schindler Digital Photography

I really enjoyed working with John for a professional headshot. It was the nicest professional shot I’ve ever had (and I’ve had many), and very high quality. Reasonable prices, and a very nice sunlit studio above Union Square. I recommend this for people who need professional headshots done for websites, brochures, etc. (esp. for the guys and gals in suits).

It all started when I was in first grade and a photographer called me Peaches… that dick.
Then in junior high when I was gangly and my glasses hid 80% of my face in each and every picture. Except when my family told me to take them off, they seemed to be disillusioned to the possibility that I may look less geeky squinting to make out where exactly the camera was and feigning a smile.
In high school there were club photos where I would hide in the background a mere floating head.
Now I have to take business head shots. Good lord… I am PAYING someone to take a picture of me!!! To distribute to the masses??? Oh HELL no…
Somehow I magically develop a second chin, my head turns into a big round ball of whiteness with two black dots for my eyes. I look like a frickin’ fat silly grinning two chinned dough blob… CLICK!!! Don’t I look just great??? Uh, no bitch… I don’t.
Until John Swanda. He took at least forty or fifty digitals of me and politely deleted each and every photo that I hated of myself only to take more and more until we finally had six that I hated just a little less than the rest.
He is nice and patient and he never once called me Peaches.
