JP's photography speaks for itself but if I may add he is super professional and very easy to work with. My kids aren't the easiest and he was super patient with them and willing to go the extra mile to get them to have fun while he captured the magic. I recommend him to everyone in need of some unique and crisp images. I will continue to hire him as I trust he will give me always more then I expect. read more

Finding a great headshot photographer can be painful both mentally and financially. There are tons to choose from and unfortunately they're not all great. But this guy right here, he's an actor's dream come true. Here's why: 1. He's an actor himself. This matters because he knows what works and what doesn't. He also knows how to speak to us. He gets you out of your shell and quickly looking the part of a role you'd actually book. Very important. 2. He takes his time. You're not rushed through your session. This was especially important to me because I take a longer to ease in and my best shots are usually my last. 3. He's meticulous. From the lighting, to your hair, makeup and wardrobe. He wants you to look your best and you can tell that it's really important to him. He's not going to let you look like a freak. I walked away with what I feel are my best shots to date. A few tips: he sometimes offers deals so be sure to ask. And tip well!! It's rare that you find a photog that you mesh well with, so, when you do, show your appreciation. read more

JP San Pedro - Session Photography Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I have shot with him multiple times. He's a very giving photographer amongst other things. He's also an actor so he understands the trials we go through so he makes you feel at home and doesn't make you feel pressured. I've always had a hard time with stills, always thinking i'm not good looking enough to bring something to the table and he got me out of my head and starts doing his magic, bringing the most important part of me out- "my soul" He's an artist in every sense of the word. He also doesnt rush you, he'll slightly tell you what to do in a very nice way and will proceed from there. He does all other types of photography. Once he has his hands on that camera he becomes a mad scientist. I posted some of his pics to the net and i've had such a positive overwhelming response to them. I will shoot with him always. read more

JP San Pedro - Just one of his shots!! - Session Photography Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I have found my head shot photographer. I was resistant to doing another session of pictures...not because I've been disappointed in the past; in fact, I've been pretty satisfied. But after hearing enough times that "they could be better" and that Jean Paul is the guy for the job, I bit the bullet. I am beyond thrilled I did...forget satisfied, I'm elated with the work this guy does. With music and conversation, JP creates a comfortable environment designed to bring out your natural energy and more. After already getting great looking shots of my best "me", Jean Paul insisted we try some other stuff, loaning me a sports coat and then a vintage jacket to evoke more sides of my personality. Each of these looks came out so different, yet still so true to who I am. And the lighting and angles were superb. He knows what an attention grabbing, honest image is, and he captures that through creating imaginary scenarios, circumventing "showing" a part of you and instead, throwing you into "living" it, as you would on set. This was the first time I really had a blast doing head shots, and again, I haven't had bad experiences previously...they just all seem more ordinary now. This alone is worth his very affordable rate, but following the session, JP selected all the looks that popped, and shot them over to me almost immediately. He was then very generous in offering to touch up a couple of the ones I selected. The entire time, he was exceptionally quick in responding to all of my inquiries/requests. Beginning to end, Jean Paul has to be the best deal in town. It's only a matter of time before he gets enough reviews on here, more people catch on, and his rates steadily rise, so if you're looking for head shots, don't hesitate. Schedule an appointment with this guy now. read more

It had been two years since I took my first headshots in Los Angeles. My first ones were great, but the end result JeanPaul achieved was of the highest caliber (and at a friendlier price). JeanPaul is personable, accommodating and put me at ease. His execution was efficient and I had five great looks in under two hours. You will not regret working with JeanPaul for your next headshots. read more

JP San Pedro - Brian Andries by JeanPaul SanPedro - Session Photography Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I love shooting with Jean Paul. He's very laid-back and as an actor and director, he knows exactly how to get each individual actor to relax and also bring their A game in every photo that he takes. I'm so glad that I got a chance to work with him and he delivered in all aspects. Wish I would've found him sooner, would've saved me a lot of headaches. read more

A few weeks ago, I shot with JeanPaul, and I can't recommend shooting with him enough! I've never had a shoot like this before. Taking actor headshots is like pulling teeth for me. Don't get me wrong, I've had fun photo shoots, but I usually dread it going in, and I'm always glad when it is over. This was unlike any experience I've had though. Actors, you know that feeling when you book a gig, and then you shoot it, and when you wrap, you're still on a high, and want MORE? That was how I felt after our shoot, which for headshots is new for me! Like I said, I usually want it to be as quick and painless as possible. After shooting, I felt like I just performed and rocked it out. He's a fellow actor friend, in fact, someone I see time to time at the same auditions. I bring this up for two reasons; he coaches you through as an ACTOR, and I felt like I was being directed on a gig. He knows his stuff, and takes the time to bring the YOU out of you. Now, as I mentioned I know JP, so he was able to talk to me, and bring stuff up in our shoot that helped me play along and have fun. I know a few people who he shot with since, who didn't have a previous connection to him, but JP took the time to get some basic info, that he could use during the shoot. I've never had that in my shots before, and I believe it makes a difference, especially when photos don't translate talent, they just translate YOU. The second reason I brought up that he is a fellow actor is important. Even though we sometimes go in for similar things, he absolutely did HIS best to give me MINE. THAT means a lot to me. I have never heard, "these photos really get YOU." so many times as with my photos from JP. He's Very generous, humble and will make sure you shine. I was truly impressed, and trust me, I've shot with a lot of friends before, so I'm not just saying this. Check out his work, you'll see what I mean. Can't recommend him enough. Go have fun! read more

Great shot with JeanPaul! First headshot photographer I've met that knows how to talk to actors! He makes the experience interactive, fun and creative. Now more than ever, actors need pictures that communicate a specific intention rather than the generic "smiling pic". He's the guy to go to, to get your pic to pop. read more

If you're looking for a great photographer then JP is the way to go. He's photographed several of my clients in the last few weeks and I've loved every shot and every frame. He has a great sense for how to make the actors feel comfortable and get the best out of them. I've had clients spend thousands of dollars on headshots and hated them but no one client has hated their shots or their experience. He's affordable and reliable and gets the photos back and retouched within days. He's the best! read more

JeanPaul is wonderful. I recently shot with him and he was incredibly warm and professional! He makes shooting comfortable and fun!

He is affordable and delivers a strong product. I highly recommend JeanPaul for your next headshot session. read more

JP San Pedro - A favorite from the shoot. - Session Photography Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I absolutely loved shooting with JeanPaul. The way he directs his shoots are very actor friendly. He really knows how to get you in the right headspace and capture the emotion/character you are trying to convey. After multiple failed attempts of trying to get specific character shots I finally got something I loved. I had so many great shots it was difficult to narrow them down. He was also quick to respond to any inquiries and at getting the images back to me. His work is amazing, he is patient and easy going, you will not regret using Those Headshots. read more

Quick, professional and JeanPaul captures exactly what we needed! Got headshots done for my two daughters and they look as I imagined! Great eye and great demeanor in capturing the essence of each of their personalities! Amazing! Will be calling him again for future projects! Thank you so much, JeanPaul! read more

My favorite head shots of all time! Jean Paul brings out every kind of character that you would audition for in these head shots. It was a great experience and I am constantly referring him to friends :)! read more

I shot with Jean Paul using the Yelp deal. However. I found out about him through a friend. I have to be honest I wasn't happy with the makeup but I did like the shots. He worked with me and I got the pics that I wanted without having to reshoot. Since he's an actor and film maker he understands what casting is looking for. Overall the shoot was fun and I was completely relaxed. The shoot is all about you. He wants you to get what you need and that shows in his style. read more

Awesome photographer! He gives you scenarios to evoke emotion in your shots, I've never had a photographer do that. Professional and punctual. Thank you JP!!! Oh and he's affordable for all you struggling artists! read more

Jean Paul was super passionate and engaging during our photo shoot, and because of that took the best photos. He's a true professional and second to none! read more

This is the 2nd time i have used JP for my headshots. With his directing background, JP starts conversations with you to get the shot that he wants. His work has brought me into castings quite a few times. He also does reels as well, he did mine! Worth every penny read more

Had a fantastic shoot with JeanPaul. He's laid back. He made me totally comfortable and relaxed which is so important to get good pictures. He's got a great eye and is good at directing the moment. A pleasure to work with and I trusted we were getting the shot. I highly recommend him! read more

Just shot with JP today. He is professional, creative, collaborative and passionate. I feel like he really "got" me and very much wanted to capture me looking good and feeling good, too. My shoot was complex and he brought thoughtful creative ideas and made recommendations to other great artists. We nailed wardrobe, makeup and hair and created an amazing visual result. JP and his team are fantastic. Don't think twice, call him. read more

Jean Paul is the great, got great shots and had a great time. I'd refer him to anyone. We'll definitely be working together again.

Shooting with JeanPaul was the first time I ever felt comfortable and confident at a photoshoot. His experience as an actor reflects his direction as he shoots, which is so helpful for any artist. I really appreciate his positivity, encouragement and patience throughout my entire shoot. His passion for photography makes me want to play in front of the camera with no fear. Thank you JeanPaul! Can't wait for our next shoot! read more

Easy to work with and takes great photos. He helps guide you through the session by using story and allowing thoughts to do the work.

Best pictures I've had in 10 years. He creates such a comfortable environment to work in which allows you to settle in and be yourself. Highly recommended and much appreciated. read more

Jean Paul is amazing! Amongst his many talents, being an amazing actor and director himself, Jean Paul truly knows how to get the best shots out of people, and he also understands the industry demands for headshots, editorials etc!

Truly. Worth. It. forget breaking into a cold sweat and dreading the photo shoot. forget the feeling of wasting your dough on pictures that you just aren't sure are the ones that represent you. forget being disappointed in the results. JeanPaul actually got me to enjoy having my face photographed. No small feat. Professional. Adept. Fun. Affordable. Quick turnaround. Make an appointment. Now. read more

I had a great session with JeanPaul at ThoseHeadshots! I booked the $175 for $300 in credit deal via Yelp and it was pretty easy to redeem (the studio website has an online scheduling tool). The session with JeanPaul went well. He was very personable, funny, and made me feel comfortable (I'm not usually too comfortable during photo shoots, so I felt JeanPaul brought out the best emotion from me). The shots turned out well and I've gotten compliments from both my colleagues and friends. While I opted for the two look two shot package, I liked my photos so much I got 6 extra photos ($20 for each additional post-processed photo - which I thought was very reasonable given the high quality of each photo). I received my final processed photos less than 24 hours after my shoot and was very satisfied with the results. Will definitely go to JeanPaul again for future shots and will highly recommend him to my colleagues and broader network. read more

I've taken a bunch of headshots in LA in the 14 years I've been out here. Some were good some were bad. No one was better than Those Headshots. JeanPaul made it easy and the pictures he took not only blew me away by how great they were but my managers as well. They're a game changer and I'll be referring all of my actor friends to him. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would. read more

Had a blast shooting with JeanPaul! Super cool guy. Comfortable, relaxed environment. He gave some really awesome and insightful direction. Got some killer shots out of our session. Great quality photos at super affordable prices! Definitely recommend JeanPaul. read more

JeanPaul was recommended to me by several friends who had shot with him, and I'm so glad I took their advice! Many of these reviews have already mentioned that he's an actor, and really works with you to get the best results. I was very comfortable shooting with him. Also, he was so easy going! I have a manager who is very particular about what he wants to see (or not see) in headshots. I sent JP the guidelines from my manager and he was so attentive to making sure that he delivered. And did he ever! My manager is very happy with the results, as am I! Thank you, JeanPaul! read more

I have had 2 great shoots with JeanPaul SanPedro. And I adore shots from each session. He takes his time to get to the root of who you are and how you're selling yourself to compose an intriguing headshot that captures your story. I will keep coming back! read more
