    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!

    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.

    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 :-)

    Brad Buckman is a head shot photographer you need! I first worked with Brad a few months ago. My agents requested I get new head shots, and Brad was my first pick of who to go to. Upon arrival, he greeted me with such warmth that I no longer felt nervous about getting my pictures taken. He has also implemented very comfortable COVID 19 guidelines for safe shooting. We talked through the different looks we were going for for him to get a better understanding of what I wanted, and man did he deliver. He asked me what kind of music I liked, so we jammed to some Talking Heads. Brad's approach to the way he works only invites the spirit out. I was so satisfied with my first batch of photos that I went back this week to get a clean shaven look. Upon seeing the new pictures, I am blown away. I never thought I could look so good, and I know more auditions will come because of these photos. Thank you, Brad!

    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!

Ladies- do yourself a favor and shoot with her. She knows how to capture natural feminine beauty. As a brunette with dark eyes, I struggled to find a photographer that can pop my features off the screen. Her set-up is well curated and the use of natural light as well as her amazing camera really helped my features stand out. Joanna took her time helping to pick out various looks out of my options. She truly has an amazing eye for headshot photography! Shout-out to the makeup artist, Sabrina, who was one of the best makeup artists I have ever worked with. She listened to all my concerns about over-doing my face, and really personalized my makeup to my specific features and eye shape. 11/10 experience!! You will walk-away from this shoot so confident and unstoppable. Also, prepare to audibly GASP when you get your shots back :)

I felt so relaxed and authentic and I know that will be represented in my shots. The team is truly so talented and I am beyond grateful, words cannot express how happy I am. I know their work is going to take my business to the next level! I will absolutely be looking to work with them in the future! I would give 10 starts if I could!

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.
