Your resume shares your experience.

Your portfolio shares what you can do.

Your headshot makes a connection.

You're trying to get someone to give you a chance

A recruiter, a lead, a casting director; a date. They're going to decide if you're worth their time before you open your mouth. And that's hard.

I can't hire you, cast you, or swipe right. I really wish I could. What I can do is make the you they see is the real one. Approachable, confident, authentic. Your ambition deserves better.

You don't have to practice your smile or know your angles. Everything you're nervous about is a problem I've already solved. You show up. You laugh at my jokes. A week later you look your best in front of the people you need to impress.

I got you.

Hi, I'm Adam

I've been making headshots for 11 years. I moved to Oakland so my son and I can hang. Every month or so I find a new reason to thank all my exes for breaking my heart.

More about me →

Adam put me at ease in a way that felt very unique. Before I knew it he had captured a set of images that were completely different from anything I've ever had done before. They feel like me—unique, on brand, and full of character.

One session, every profile

Headshots are a hell of a value. Unify your personal brand in an hour.

I retouch to build trust

So the person in the picture matches the person in the meeting.
