Hey actors!
A question we get asked all the time at the studio is “Where can I find good head shots?”
Lucky for Arizona locals, there are some phenomenal local photographers who will give you a beautiful result! There are lots of photographers we recommend, and we’re always adding to the list as we discover new ones! Do you have a favorite person to shoot with? Leave their information in the comments! Here are a few folks to check out for Arizona Headshots.
These aren’t listed in any particular order. Any of these folks will do an absolutely amazing job for you.(We’ve shot with many of them on different occasions…headshots, facility pictures, wedding, family Christmas cards. If they’re on the list…we love ’em.)

2) Brad Reed Photography – http://www.bradreedphotography.com
Take a spin through the “Headshots” page on his site. Brad’s work is just beautiful. Bonus: He works on both sides of the camera (FORD model/actor), so he understands how to flatter his subject. Use the contact page on his website for rates and bookings!

9) Herriman Photography – http://herrimanphotography.zenfolio.com
Greg Herriman has a wonderful eye, with a particular talent for capturing action. If you’re seeking fitness/action shots for your portfolio, Greg’s experience allows him to anticipate what may happen to capture the right moment. Another rewarding component of Greg’s portfolio is photographing kids with special needs. A tireless volunteer for Special Olympics, his photos capture the true spirit of athletic effort and teamwork.
