Testimonials

Will is very talented and super easy to work with. He is also very responsive. When we met Will, we didn’t know what to expect. He told us to be ourselves and forget about his presence. He beautifully captured our story, our lifestyle! He did such a fantastic job. We would definitely recommend Will to our family and friends.

Working with Will was amazing! He immediately put me at ease. He was warm generous and professional and has an amazing artistic eye and was able to offer direction and guide the shoot in a manner that was helpful supportive and never intimidating or critical and made it possible for me to my best work and have fun. The images surpassed my expectations and I would recommend Will to anyone whether it’s your first time in front of the camera or a seasoned actor/model.

I honestly can’t say enough about Will O’hare’s ability. He has been my go-to photog for years and he just always gets the best shots from me. He can tell when I’m thinking of other things and gently brings me right back to the task at hand. He knows my face, finds my best angles. Frankly, I’ve always been disappointed when I have to go with someone else, so I’ve just stopped using anyone else.

I wasn’t succeeding with my old headshot until ‘Art of Headshots’. My first audition I landed a role in Pirates of the Caribbean, my second audition it was X-Files and my career started… Now I have a role in Altered Carbon and a career as a film actor

Our son does acting and needs to get headshots made from time to time. We found The Art of Headshots online. The web-site seemed to be well setup and easy to navigate. We found the right package and scheduled a convenient appointment. The pricing was very competitive. It wasn’t until we attended the appointment that we realized the real value. The photographer was very experienced. He guided our son to show various expressions and captured some really amazing photographs. Everything about this company, from the intuitive website to the friendly editor and administrator, to the superior quality of the edited headshots has been exceptional.

My Son got a role with SuperGirl immediately upon his first audition.

My 13-year-old son is in Vancouver from the States shooting a TV show. His Los Angeles manager needed updated head shots; my son is moving through puberty and his features are changing quickly. Carlos was recommended to us and after reading the Yelp reviews we took a chance without having met him. As the only under-18 actor coached by two well-regarded acting coaches, my son was thrilled to learn, in the first few moments of their meeting, that Carlos is a “Method Photographer.” With years of Method Acting coaching, my son was right at home with Carlos. My son’s manager was extremely pleased with the shots specific to the emotions they desire for casting directors. The results were excellent, and the process was as well. Carlos is kind, putting my son at ease which allowed him to find the emotional depth necessary to make the shots compelling. Top Notch!

I had needed professional headshots and I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was so glad I went here. Emily is so cute and amazing and she made me feel comfortable and is very professional. Overall a great experience.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Emily on more than one occasion. She’s a true professional and her photography is exceptional. I look forward to working with her again in the future! Highly recommended

Emily Weltz is a great photographer. She is professional, easy to work with and has a very strong creative eye – I loved the photos I did with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone. I will definitely go back to her when it is time to update my photos! Thanks again Emily!

I had the pleasure of getting a photo shoot done by Emily. She was really nice and helpful. My photos turned out great and I couldn’t be happier.

Emily was great! She took her time and made the process easy and natural. I love my headshots!!

Emily from the Art of Headshots Edmonton Studio created a brilliant experience by carefully balancing professionalism with artistic style, while managing to capture the perfect headshot. The friendly conversation and inviting atmosphere greatly exceeded my expectations. Extremely satisfied with the services provided and highly recommend this talented and inspiring young professional for your photography needs.

Emily was great to work with. She brings out your inner child and lets you have fun. She even went above and beyond to help me with my brand.

Emily is a wonderful, professional, and overall awesome human! She was extremely accommodating with unexpected schedule changes and made me feel so welcome in her studio. Not once did I feel discouraged from anything, I was always open to share my thoughts and work together with her to create the best photos of myself that I have ever had done. Emily took any references and ideas I gave her and she utilized them beautifully. She was very responsive and polite in our correspondence and she always got back to me quickly. Prices were very reasonable and Emily was very informative of any questions I had. Perhaps best of all was that Emily made me feel confident in my skin. I would highly, highly recommend Art of Headshots and Emily any day, any time!

I recently hired Fredau to do headshots for my business website and she was absolutely wonderful; I can’t sing her praises enough!

It was instantly evident to me that Fredau knows her craft well (there is definitely no disputing that!) But, what really set Fredau apart for me (as someone who is NOT a fan of having her picture taken) was that her people skills and her ability to make her clients comfortable was OFF THE CHARTS.

I will absolutely be using Fredau again the next time I need photos done and will be recommending her to everyone know! Thank-you again Fredau for your amazing work!

Fredau made my daughters first experience a great one! She was kind, welcoming and made us both feel relaxed throughout the whole photo shoot! We will definitely be calling her again for future headshots!

I just wanted to say what a pleasant experience that it has been working with Art of Headshots. The photographer was friendly and professional and the overall experience was excellent.

An excellent studio with very professional staff. Eluvier was extremely kind and guided me through the whole process with ease. 5/5 would recommend to anyone who wants to take a modelling career seriously. The finished headshots were amazing!

Fun, friendly atmosphere, quickly felt at ease. Love the quality of the photos. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend to check this studio out!
I recently got my headshot for my personal branding website. Eluvier Acosta: photographer is great, professional and he will advice you to act to your theme. This team leads by Carlos, they are working effectively & comparatively with their kind services to help translate my vision in to the images I love.

Second to None in “Art of Headshots”

Had an excellent experience! Photographer had some great tricks throughout the session to make the photos even better than I expected!

This is my second time working with these guys to get my headshots done. This time round, it was really important to me to showcase my brand and that I am approachable with the start of my new company Level Update. As always, Carlos and his team knocked it out of the park.

Carlos has the ability to move beyond a classy portrait and create an image that shows who you are. No gimmicks or lighting tricks. He helps you open up and be yourself whether you are in his studio or outside on an organic shoot.  The highest compliments came from my family and friends who said my headshot really brought out my best characteristics. Highly recommended.

We are a small not-for-profit agency in Vancouver and were looking to find a friendly photographer (at a reasonable price) to capture our staff’s headshots for our website,

As soon as I spoke with Carlos and Becky, it was clear that they put in an extra effort to get to know us each as individuals.. They took their time during the shoot and really brought out our true selves in each photo.

I would definitely recommend Art of Headshots to anyone in Vancouver looking for headshots. Carlos really delivers more than his photography skills! Thank you Carlos and Becky!

I am a single Mom, to my 14 year old son. I was hesitant to get professional casting photos done of my son because I am on a budget and I wanted to ensure they would be amazing. I did some research on Google and decided to give Carlos a call. During our conversion I asked, why I should choose him over another photographer. He took the time to explain his services and experience to me and told me that he would not be happy, until I was happy, even if I needed to do a re-shoot.  He made me feel confident in him and continued to answer all my questions/concerns.

During the photo shoot, he asked my son what his hobbies/passions were – he developed a conversation to connect with my son and made him feel comfortable. When the shoot was done, I felt like Carlos actually got to know us as people, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is hesitant.

The photos turned out amazing and Carlos kept true to his word – and even delivered much more than he initially promised. He definitely goes above and beyond and I would guarantee that – on his behalf.

I needed to update my headshots for a theatre production and carefully did my research before choosing a photographer. Carlos had great reviews and I can see why. His number one priority is to make the client truly happy with the finished product. Half-way during the session, he shows you the photos so far – to ensure you’re both on the same page. He’s got wonderful ideas regarding poses, but is also open to the client’s input. He’s warm, personable…and has a fun and friendly way of conversing with you while snapping to draw out your authentic self. I had been sick with bronchitis prior to my shoot. Upon viewing the photos, I could see I wasn’t completely healthy. Carlos was so generous and open to re-shooting the entire session a few weeks later (no extra charge) when I was completely healthy. Thanks Carlos!

I have worked with Carlos and team several different times on a variety of projects. He brings great experience and offers honest advice so that we get the exact outcome we are looking for. Since the first time we’ve used him, I’ve never had to search for a photographer again in Vancouver – Art of Headshots is the team for the job.

Very professional and smooth experience all the way through with Carlos. He far exceeds expectations and ensures his clients are always happy. He has been a pleasure to deal with and being able to connect with the photographer is just as important as the quality of pictures they take and with Carlos he has the skill to do both very well.

I’ve worked with him for my individual headshots and also he shot our entire office as well. The finished product was excellent and this will help all of us in our line of work. I would not hesitate to recommend Carlos for any type of portrait photography!!

I went to get some professional photos taken here and my experience was great. Carlos’s approach and technique to the shoot was unexpected but made the experience very enjoyable! The photos came out amazing too far better than anything I would have got even on my iPhone even with its AI photo retouching thing. I definitely recommend anyone without a professional headshot looking to get one to get it done here!

I’m just thrilled by my recent actor’s headshot session with Carlos at Art of Headshots in Vancouver! The ease of online booking, the great location, through the session itself — which was a collaborative and happy experience — the variety of images: everything was fantastic!

Carlos takes the time to listen to an individual’s goals and concerns before taking a single shot, and so, in my case, he captured more depth and range than any photographer has before.

The proofs arrived quickly, my emails received responses almost immediately, and the cost was more than reasonable. Also, Carlos’ assistant, Becky, worked a re-touching miracle on a shirt collar that had a mind of its own: amazing!

I think any actor will be super-satisfied with the experience and the end results. I will definitely use Carlos’ and Becky’s talents again.

Carlos’ process was incredibly natural.  He first wanted to learn about who I was, and why I was doing it.  It soon came to my realization that I was in the hands of a true professional.

The pictures exceeded our expectations, but the experience is what we’ll remember.  Thanks Carlos, see you soon.

Carlos was very welcoming and friendly to work with. I may be an actor but I hate having my picture taken and I’m always awkward in front of a still camera. But Carlos chatted with me and took me round to different locations and really spent time getting to know me and put me at ease. I was really surprised by the way the shots turned out and my agent was very pleased. They offered a lovely range of looks and were so true to me that my agent didn’t even want his choices touched up.  I highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking for quality and truth in their headshots or portrait.

We hired Art of Headshots to take our headshots and group photos.  We are a brand new law firm and wanted these photos for our website.  We opted for the branding session which includes a meeting with the photographer prior to the photoshoot to discuss our brand, vision and audience, all of which to inform the style of photos,  backgrounds etc .  We had a wonderful experience working with our photographer.  He was professional, experienced and knowledgeable.

We sat down and together created a planned and focused photoshoot that served our marketing purposes well. The photos are beautiful and the backgrounds he suggested turned out perfectly.  We really liked his relaxed approach during the session.  It helped us relax and look natural and authentic in the photos.  Every now and then he asked us to close our eyes and think about the business we are building, the people we will be helping etc and then open our eyes.  He would then capture our expression.  It really brought out who we are.  It was all in all the best experience I’ve had with business photography.  I highly recommend their service and plan on asking them to do more photos for us in the future as the firm grows.

I am a repeat customer of Art of Headshots Vancouver. Carlos is amazing and fun to work with. I feel comfortable on camera with him expressing emotions and he captures it right there and then. The beauty out of each captured session is the essence of a professional photographer like Carlos.  It will be my pleasure to go back with him in the future.

I cannot rave enough about my experience with ART OF THE HEADSHOTS.  First off the session itself was relaxed and open.  Carlos took my suggestions, had some himself and went out of his way to make me comfortable to get a natural shot.  He suggested outside and while the photos looked great, some elements of my look didn’t come out so well when re-viewed later (he shows you first on a tablet then they send a gallery later).  I chose one, but they felt that I wasn’t happy so THEY offered a re-shoot at no extra cost.  They set it up quickly, it went fantastic and the second batch were beyond great.  They didn’t overly try to upsell me but did make offers for me to have additions (which I am likely to take since I am so happy).

Their packages are affordable, they are conveniently located and the quality is top-notch.

I am not photogenic; in fact, I often don’t recognize myself in photos. So I dislike having my picture taken.  But I needed one decent photograph that I could use for everything. My sister recently had her pictures taken by Carlos for her website. And she loved them, and I loved them because they looked like her – I mean, really looked like her.

While Carlos was taking my pictures, he was getting to know me. Seriously, he asked me probing questions about my life. And at times he would ask me to close my eyes, think about what I had just said, and open my eyes; then he would take pictures.

My photo session with Carlos resulted in pictures that reflect my true self. I recognize myself in those photos. I love that.

During a recent job search, I found myself invited to meet with the president of a global firm as a “final interview step”. With only a week before my meeting, I knew I needed to upgrade my rather casual LinkedIn photo with a more professional head shot as he was sure to check out my profile prior to our meeting. Carlos was able to save the day by fitting me in with very little notice and his work certainly got attention. As I just started work this week I received a welcoming email from my new boss and at the end he closed with “PS. Nice pic!”   Looking to stand out from the crowd? Art of Headshots certainly makes an impression. Thanks Becky and Carlos!

I was amazed by the speed of delivery and quality of the very affordable and professional photo shoot we had with Ana. I am so grateful to have found Carlos and to have said yes to working with him. I would definitely recommend them for anyone who is taking headshots or fitness shots like we did.

Not knowing what to expect, I went for my first photoshoot with Ana. I was nervous about the fitness shoot but Ana made it so easy and effortless. Also the pictures look great! Then the headshots for my professional Linkedin profile were also really well done. She made us feel comfortable and so relaxed through it all. Thank you so much Ana. I would totally recommend her.

Anastasia took time to get to know me to make me feel at ease right away with the process. She also really paid attention to my preferences and took care to create the best environment possible for the photo shoot. It was a pleasure to work with her.

I had an incredible experience shooting with Anastasia. She has a very genuine and unique approach to clients and I have never felt more comfortable in front of a camera. We had a great conversation and the photos turned out amazing. I would recommend Art of Headshots every time.

Ana was fantastic. Very smooth and quick process. Made me feel comfortable. Will be going back for any future headshots!

Absolutely amazing, respond time is very quick and easy too book. Anastasia was absolutely fantastic. My kids enjoyed her taking pictures and had amazing time!!

Ana was a great host and there was never a dull moment with her. She easily made me feel comfortable in front of the camera as well as took great photos.

If I ever need to update my photos, I know for sure I’ll return here to get them done.

Anastasia was fabulous! She really knew how to relax me and get the most natural and flattering shot. She was so constructive in her feedback she really did the best work possible. I am very happy with the results!

Very friendly and professional. Many of us aren’t used to the large photo setups and it can often be awkward. This was an easy experience to get some great photos.

Love my headshot! People tell me it reflects their experience of my physical presence in real life – always right there, in the moment. Not an easy feat.

The name does really reflect the process. An artful approach to capturing both your image and your energy in a unique, relaxed way. All further enhanced with thoughtful, expert cropping and polishing of the shot to optimize for the appropriate medium. I really do feel like I’m putting my best face forward. And I had trouble choosing from among several great shots – nice problem!
