Actor headshot

Brad is one of the best headshot photographers in LA and I was fortunate enough to work with him this summer. His studio manager, Kat, and makeup artist, Rachel make the whole day delightful. They are all very talented at what they do and top notch professionals. Brad takes his time to make sure he gets the best shots. He is very easy to work with and makes it a great space to play. My new photos have already gotten me out on a few auditions. If you are looking for a great headshot photographer, Brad is the man!

It had been two years to the month since I had new headshot photos taken, and one year to the month since I had updated my headshots with headshots from the previous year. I was looking for something serious and edgier and not so much looking like the affable Dad. I googled LA Headshot Photographers and looked at easily 20-30 websites over a week. I was getting frustrated because none of the headshots that I saw stood out enough to the idea that I was looking for. I made a post on Instagram in regards to my frustration and an actor friend sent me a message with Brads Website. I remember looking at the site and within minutes I knew I found the right photographer. In fact I showed several sites including Brads to some co workers and 100% of them chose Brad Buckman as the photographer I should use for new headshots. I sent an inquiry, checked availability and chose the one available time that was free one week later. I went into the situation with no expectations but hoping for the best. Within a few hours I received an email from the studio manager confirming my appointment and gave me a clear outline of wardrobe and expectations when I arrived for my photo shot. Additionally I received a Thank You email from Brad selecting him as the photographer, wishing me a good weekend and thoughts to reach out if I had any questions regarding the photo shoot prior to my arrival the following week. Any nerves I had at this point were squashed. I sent the link of the website to my agency so they knew who my choice was for new photos and I received a huge thumb up. Upon my photo shoot arrival I was met by the studio Manager, Kat who set me up with the dressing room and rolling rack. She actually assisted in opening wardrobe bags and hanging items for me. As I unpacked some makeup (I chose to do simple make up however there are makeup artist options) I explained my thoughts on wardrobe. Brad came over and I met him and we hit it off instantly. While I was getting myself situated Kat and Brad went over my wardrobe and told me their suggestion of the different looks which I was in full compliance. I was in their hands. Throughout the shoot (three looks) Brad and I spoke of traveling internationally, his kids, my work, acting etc. It was the most comfortable time. It made the situation flow and it is why I believe I was able to get the shots I wanted. Kat checked on me during each outfit in regard to music to play. She even took my Slate Shots in each wardrobe change on my iPhone for my personal use on casting websites. I was at the studio for nearly four hours. To be honest it went by so quick. It was everything I had hoped it would be and the results exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend Brad Buckman enough. His demeanor throughout the session is why the shots turn out the way they do. The experience is friendly, professional, comfortable and relaxed. His studio is clean and big and the environment makes you feel at ease. To say I highly recommend Brad is still doing an injustice. You will get the results you are hoping for.

We love Brad and Rachel! My 13 year old actor son Cameron needed new headshots badly. He became a teenager overnight! His previous headshots no longer looked like him-haha. Our agent and our manager sent us 4 recommendations for photographers. We viewed them and compared side by side. Brad Buckman's photos absolutely outshined all of the others! No comparison! My son's true essence and personality were captured in these new headshots. They are so unique,creative, and beautiful! Cameron had a lot of fun having Rachel style him and get him 'camera ready' too! The first day we uploaded the new headshots on the acting sites, he got 3 new auditions!! We've had many headshots over the 7 years my son has been acting and Brad's photos are the Best ! Our manager and our agent told us they were , "blown away " with the new headshots. I wish we would have known Brad Buckman and his team before!

Direct from the proof sheet. His raw pics are better than most retouched!

It doesn't get better than Brad Buckman. Aside from his ridiculous level of talent as a photographer, he has a sense of humor and sincere kindness that makes the experience unique and effortless. Getting pictures taken tends to make me nervous and somewhat insecure about things I didn't even knew I cared about! But Brad will see you through his artist's eye/lens and showcase beauty you didn't even know you had. I recently had a friend shoot pictures for me to save money and was unhappy with how they turned out. I reached out to Brad to set up photos with him and he took care of everything quickly. His pictures ARE superior - he's just the friggin best! I feel that my success is just as important to him as it is to me. His entire team is professional, and he is very respected in this industry. Don't go anywhere else first - you'll just wind up going to Brad anyway :-)

Was referred to Brad by a friend who gets tons of work from Brad's pics. Just had my session last week. He was professional and fun. I felt relaxed and loved that he really had an understanding of what me and my manager were looking for. I'm having a tough time narrowing my favorites down because there are so many I love! Thanks again Brad! I'll certainly be in touch!

If you're looking for a photo studio to rent, or a great place to host an event... this is a perfect location. SUPER close to Porto's (yum) and lots of street parking, the studio has AWESOME natural light (and great A/C!).

See all

Had a fantastic day shooting with Brad. It was fun, laid back, and he listened to what you wanted to do as an artist. Loved it!

Been going here for years and they're the Best !! I started…read moregoing when they were in Hollywood, and this Burbank location is much Better !! With Stacey's Expertise he help me order the right photos and the right amount !! He's Smart and Honest !! And Kevin's Excellent Video Skills, help me get Great copies of a TV show, no one else could !! They Know what they're doing !! Thanks Argentum !!

Argentum is great for actor services! Like headshots, post cards, websites, etc…read more.. The majority of my experience with Argentum has been on their "hot sets" this is a service they offer to help actors get footage for their reels. Argentum sets up a set, and then shoots the actors in the scene. They use professional quality cameras, sound equipment, editing, color grading, etc... They also film on multiple cameras so that once edited the clip looks professional, and most importantly looks like something that could actually be seen on film, or television. Argentum also uses professional actors as your scene partners, and the actors will also work with you to make sure that you're getting the best performance possible! They're also happy to let you bring your own scene partner. The guys that run the "hot sets" are great as well. They're extremely helpful, and really work hard to make sure that every scene turns well. They're also just cool guys. I know that might sound silly, but when you're spending time with people it helps that they're nice. The price is reasonable for the service being offered, and the quality is high. For anyone looking to add some footage to their reel I would definitely recommend Argentum. I'd recommend them for other actor services as well.

We had such a wonderful experience! My baby was just about to turn ONE, and capturing this…read moremilestone meant a lot to me. As every parent knows, babies & toddlers can be unpredictable. From the moment we arrived, Tiffany created a warm & comfortable environment. She has a true gift - she was patient, playful & kind and somehow she knew exactly how to connect with my shy little one. She captured the sweetest smiles & the happiest expressions. I don't think anyone else could have made my baby so comfortable. Tiffany was super. The photos turned out perfectly. We will treasure these images for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend Tiffany at Photo Perfections. She has a true gift for working with kids & creating memories that families will cherish for a lifetime

We had a horrible experience with this place We went here…read morebecause we had gotten an offer for a good deal that included all digital photos When we got there, their gate wasn't working and with a 3 week old had to wait for over 2 hours for them to fix it While taking the photos we had people asking the photographer a million questions and they had to pause several times which made my baby very fussy When it came time to pay they said for 16 pictures we had to pay 1200$ Which was not what they originally advertised This place is a major scam The only reason I came here was the distance and the advertisement The pricing says digital photos included but its a lie. They will only give you the digital photos of the package you pick, if you pick a package with 4 photos you only get 4 digital not all photos If we knew we had to pay 1200$ for pictures we would have went back to the original place we always go to 500$ flat fee all photos included and much much cuter props You would think with the major inconvenience they would have accommodated Do not recommend Save your money and do your research There are soooo many other places with better pricing and props Response to you Margo, I was not referring to the 69$ or whatever you are even talking about I am referring to your regular prices online and how its presented and worded to pull people in, you guys are very unprofessional as very evident in your response Your manager did not call me until 11:30 and I was driving from Santa Clarita and it was too late for me to return back, your business issues are not any of my concern, thats your concern. You saying to return my money and for me to not even get the 4 photos I paid 300$for after waiting at the mall with a 3 week old for over 3 hours ? Thats your management resolution?
