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.

I had the greatest experience with Cynthia. She edited my photos brilliantly, taking into account…read moreall my concerns, and she treated my photos with such care, really focusing on details. She was kind enough to suggest how to pose and hold my belongings while I was in front of the camera. The photos were also sent to me promptly and exactly when she said they would be ready.

She knows what she's doing and will direct you, but also let you live out your Special Day as you see fit. We loved how candid all the photos turned out. We are not ones for posing all day long, and she respected that and managed to portray the love, intimacy and joy of the day through her lens. Our pic on 6th avenue kissing has been all the rave for anyone asking to see my wedding photos. Simply iconic. Compared to other photographers in the area, she is very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend her services.

I am very disappointed with this photographer. I only purchased Latasha's Groupon deal after having…read morecontacted her via Facebook to ask questions to clarify the offer. On March 31st, almost two months in advance, I had made an appointment for a newborn shoot to take place on May 20th. When I checked to confirm this week, she asked if we can move to Friday instead of Saturday, for my baby, who is now 10 days old (pics need to be taken in the first 2 weeks) We obliged, and because it's a school day for my preschooler, I asked for 7:30 AM instead of 8:00 AM. She responded with "you're an hour away from me". Meanwhile, I had agreed to paying the additional fee (she was charging me $30 instead of the $25 mentioned on the Groupon voucher for out of service area) to compensate for the distance. When I sent her images of pictures I would like taken which would include two siblings and parents in different shots, she said it was an additional $150! It is not uncommon for family members to be part of a newborn shoot and nowhere in her fine print does she mention the shoot to be exclusively for the newborn and that siblings or parents are additional. Based on other reviews, she probably is a good photographer, but very unprofessional. Because she is non accommodating, I have to find another photographer last minute. Ironically, she does not seem to understand her clientele and the time sensitivity of newborn photography.
