On November's 22nd, 2019 had my headshots and comp cards session with Jordan . This is my 3rd time…read morewith him. His skills, technique and attention to details are a gift sent from heaven . I was recommended to him back in 2006 and I keep going back to him because he is simply the best!! So you know , Jordan used to be an actor . I was very surprised when he said this . Cause I asked what he did before . This made me feel , wow , even more comfortable . His headshots have gotten me into casting directors offices and every person , CD, agent , manager who have seen those headshots have only said great things about my headshots. You pay an initial deposit to book the session . You agree on a date for the shoot . His office manager will send you instruction that you must read word by word . You will be told the day before if the date needs to be change due to weather (be flexible ). Once you get to his office , you will be greeted by his office manager. This time because I was doing comp cards I brought a lot of clothes , to have as many options as posible . He can tell what colors will look great on you . Once the session is over , I think you get your stuff in two weeks . And if you want to retouch your pictures , he has a person there now who does it. Years past, I used a company but I think I am going with the new person he has . I also will advice to study his many sessions on his website . I also looked at many many other photography sessions to get ideas . I wasn't looking to hire a new photographer. I was doing my research on clothing and stuff like that . I don't know I wish I knew how he does what he does but he really has a gift . He can bring the best in you. He just has an eye for it. He is really fun, relaxed and super friendly. I am Not necessarily to comfortable in front of a cámara when it comes to pictures but with him I feel at ease . His makeup artist did a great job . They are really good at what they do. You will be in good hands and trust their process . Just so you get an idea I have taken photography classes and I love taking pictures and I have a make up artist certification. I know what I am talking about . I studied Jordan Matter's pictures meticulously and many other photographers too. I am telling you Jordan matter has a gift that nobody has been able to surpass . And of course in our session last Friday I was paying attention to a lot of how he did things . He has an eye for this . He is truly the best !!! Instead of paying cheap photographers or paying a good amount for a so-so photographer , Just go with the best from the start and his name is Jordan Matter .

No. I agree with…read moreMichelle B.'s review on here. Jordan wasn't for me and I felt bullied into my shots and felt there was an arrogance about him. Michelle B. wrote it much better than I did but I was not happy with my shots. I did not care for the makeup artist Jordan had suggested, either. I had spent a LOT of money going to Frederick Fekkai earlier that morning to get my hair blown out and Jordan's HMU artist quickly dumped greasy goop into my hair (without asking) making it like an oily mess. When I was asking Jordan about it he condescendingly said to: "just trust her and she knew what she was doing." The weirdest part was when I had come in I had my folder of acting stuff with me and I had gone to the bathroom to change - and when I got out of the bathroom Jordan and his HMU artist were going through my folder commenting nastily about my old headshots. I had never, ever told them it was okay to go through my folders. Imagine how upset I was when I found out my manager (at the time, I have a much better one now) admitted months after he was was using my OLDER headshots (the ones I had in my folder oddly enough) to get me called in bc my Jordan photos were not getting me called in. He didn't want to admit to me "I had wasted $1200.00" Those were my manager's exact words! I was fuming. I fired that manager and thankfully have someone much more honest now. As actors, we learn the best from experience and I agree with Michelle when she says that Jordan should stick to dancers and not do actor shots at all. I would also suggest to consider it a 'red flag' when any acting 'guru' or teacher tells you that you HAVE to go to ONE photographer and ONE PHOTOGRAPHER only - there is a possibility referral kickbacks are going on. A sad, shady part of our business. There are MANY amazing photographers in NYC and LA. Many. To thine own self be true. Trust your gut. As a person of color, make sure you do extra super-duper research to make sure those photographers can light you well. As a POC you have to be on your career 150% so do it.

Mike Zawadzki is simply one of the most talented photographers I've ever met. His eye for lighting,…read morecomposition, and capturing authentic moments is incredible. From start to finish, he is professional, responsive, and genuinely passionate about his work. The photos are stunning--natural, vibrant, and full of emotion. Mike has an amazing ability to make people feel relaxed, which results in beautiful, authentic images. If you're investing in photography for one of life's most important moments, Mike is the person you want behind the camera. I recommend him without hesitation. Mike Zawadzki Photography

Where do we begin? Mike Zawadzki was the very first vendor we booked once my husband & I decided on…read moreour wedding venue. They were a preferred vendor through Perona Farms and when comparing them to some of the other choices out there, there was no doubt that their style of photography was what we wanted to capture our day. From their warm tones, the way they know JUST how to capture the light & that their photos feel more like they're telling a story rather than simply staged, this was exactly what we were looking for. We worked primarily with Mike's lead photographer Tiffany, who also did our engagement photos. She was the absolute best to work with - an honest, funny, straight shooter and always available in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding to reach out to with questions. You can tell that not only is she great at what she does, she also loves the couples that she works with. On the day of our wedding she went above and beyond to make sure that we were getting the best shots possible - whether it be at the hotel getting ready with the lighting or finding just the right spot on the property at Perona given the weather conditions (it had rained heavily the day before our wedding and the grounds were very damp, and the day of was spitting rain/cold/windy). She is firm when she needs to be, does not settle, and advocates for her bride & groom. We have already received some preview photos from that day and they are INCREDIBLE. We are absolutely blown away by what an eye both she & Nick (our second photographer) have. I would be lying to you if I said I haven't gone through them a dozen times already. We are eagerly awaiting the rest of the photos from our special day. There is no one else who we would have trusted with capturing some of our most beautiful memories. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

This is a great photography company. Graham Friedman knows what he is doing…read more My organization is a major multinational with 40,000 people around the world... our hub in NYC has used various photographers in the past. For the past 15 years we've held a conference, and the most recent one this March, we had a lot of our clients (over 150 people) flying in from all over the world to New York City. Coincidentally, many colleagues were flying in as well, so I was thinking that I needed a photographer to not only (a) take pictures of the event, but (b) we all need updated headshots, so I wonder if we can be creative and work that in... Luckily, Graham came highly recommended through the right connections, and let me say it was very easy and worth it: - We requested a tailored project, and he easily agreed and sent a very nice package quotation... boom, done. - Prior to the event, whenever we needed something, he was very easy and fast to get us appropriate documentation, etc. - He arrived early -- even earlier than we asked, which was awesome - He set up shop and took a variety of headshots for staff at the beginning of the day in a corner alcove of the conference space - As the event started, he furiously worked the space, taking photos of conversations, speeches, questions, the audience, and breakout sessions. - During the day he further wove in headshots for other colleagues - After the conference, he delivered a myriad of photos the day after, and the full suite of headshots and event pictures within about a week. Fast performer. Overall, I would say that he is the best photographer we've ever had at our event (we've hosted this conference for 15 years). Friendly, excellent shots, great with tailoring the project to our specific needs, great eye and overall good business. Happy to recommend him personally. I will be using Graham for other events in the future, he will be our "go to" photographer.

Graham's knowledge expertise and professionalism are second to none. He enjoys his profession with great energy.

I am very happy with the job GoodKrak did with the photos for our upcoming website and very proud to include them on my client list for future use. An outstanding job to Graham and GoodKrak!

I was recently part of a group shoot that used Michael Cinquino as the photographer. It was an…read moreextremely positive experience and I highly recommend him. Mike is super-friendly, prepared, and very professional. One location for the shoot was actually on a Subway platform with many subjects. Mike was amazingly efficient. He gave everyone clear, succinct directions, so things proceeded like clockwork. He tested several variations so that we would have options to choose from later. Almost no time was wasted and we were in and out in about 15 minutes. He had it all under control and that's quite a feat given the chaos of the NYC subway. While this shoot wasn't for a wedding I can see how he might be good for weddings because he's able to coordinate so many people at once. Waiting to see the results of the shoot. When I get them, I'll provide an update on how they came out. So far, I have had a great experience with Cinquino Photography.

Michael and Rebecca made the experience completely enjoyable right off the bat. Their warmth and friendliness made it seem more like an afternoon with friends vs a photo shoot. Not only was the experience an enjoyable one but the pictures were AMAZING! I am blown away that we received such high quality products for about half the price we were quoted by other photographers. It is truly reassuring to find a business who can maintain such a friendly composure while being extremely professional at the same time.

Wherever we were going, I could see Tony eyeing every alley and any area for potential photo ops. While Olya focused on the little details that meant a lot to me, she was mindful in keeping me warm and also taking breaks in between. It takes a while for my husband to get comfortable with strangers, let alone someone that's pointing a camera at you. At our engagement shoot, he was nervously giggling through it all and you'd never know it! They're both so easy going that throughout the shoot it just got easier and easier. Clearly they've been doing this for a very long time, they don't even need any direction from you, which made my life so much easier. They know exactly where they need to be and when. It's amazing how I can relive every moment by looking through the photos they have taken. It's true what they say on their website, they're story tellers. Trust them and the direction they lead you... they know what they're doing =)

As someone who hates her picture being taken, they reassured me that I would barely know that my picture is being taken. Very true!! We are exceedingly pleased with our engagement pictures and the sneak peak we have gotten thus far, and I have no doubt that the rest of our pictures will be amazing! They were very flexible with scheduling and took into consideration what we wanted as a couple. Our day was a bit misty and it had rained the night before, so we didn't want to get all wet from the grass during our first look pictures, so Tony + Olya went and scoped out a new location that was not in the grass. I loved it more than the original spot. In terms of picture turn around, I was eager, so I was probably a pain in the neck, but it's barely 5 months past our wedding and we will have the rest of our pictures! So exciting! I truly feel they captured who we are as a couple and I wish I could post pictures with the review to show my love for their work.
