⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James work is professional, fun and excellent. I don't feel that I am very photogenic but he made the photo experience fun and relaxing and my headshot came out beautifully. I can't thank him and his team enough.

Micro-Expression Coaching, With Live Feedback

Most of what makes a headshot work is small. A tight jaw, eyes a touch too wide, a smile that stops halfway. I coach those micro-expressions as I shoot. Every frame lands on the big screen right after I take it, so you see exactly what I see and I can tweak your expression on the spot. You’re never guessing, and you leave with a look that feels like you.

Step Inside the Studio

The studio is in the Kress Contemporary building at 1624 E. 7th Ave. in Ybor City. Take a quick look around before you book.

Two Sides of the Studio: Headshots or Personal Branding

As a top-rated Tampa headshot photographer, I split my studio into two sides so you can choose the look that fits you. One side is built for modern professional headshots, with clean backdrops and controlled lighting for LinkedIn, your website, and company profiles. The other side is built for actor headshots and portraits, with more character and more of your personality.

Make a Day of Your Tampa Headshots in Ybor City

Getting here is easier than you’d think, and a lot more relaxing than going downtown. Parking is right outside the building, with on-street spots, two-hour lots at about 50 cents, and covered garages nearby. Grab a coffee at Blind Tiger Roasting before your session, then stay for lunch and a walk around Historic Ybor City.

The same day. I retouch the images you pick and send them over, most times before you’re back home or at the office.

Solid colors that fit you well. Skip busy patterns and large logos, and bring two or three tops so you have options to try. My headshot prep guide covers the details.

Most people aren’t, and that’s normal. I coach you through every pose and expression, and you see the results on the screen as I shoot, so you can watch it working.
