Reviews of Art of Headshots - Vancouver Studio (Photo Studio)

Mike Plumb

This is my second time working with these guys to get my headshots done. This time round, it was really important to me to showcase my brand and that I am approachable with the start of my new company Level Update. As always, Carlos and his team knocked it out of the park.

Jennifer Abbott

Excellent photographer and staff. I have had Carlos take my professional work photos a few times and they always turn out great. I am scheduling a current photoshoot again soon and will return to Art of Headshots as I know I can rely on them.

Neale Genereux

I needed some headshots for professional and social media profiles. Art of Headshots gave me exactly what I needed, for a great price. The experience was even pretty fun. I highly recommend these fine folks!

Ron Donovan

Carlos has the ability to move beyond a classy portrait and create an image that shows who you are. No gimmicks or lighting tricks. He helps you open up and be yourself whether you are in his studio or outside on an organic shoot. The highest compliments came from my family and friends who said my headshot really brought out my best characteristics Highly recommended.

Y. Chen

Carlos is absolutely fantastic! He's best at capturing the moments of life, and his photos can tell a story of a person. He's very friendly and easy to get along with, so it makes the people more comfortable to be in front of his camera. I've worked with Carlos a number of times, and it's always been a great experience. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who wants great and memorable head-shots!

JP Letnick

I've tested and tried many photographers and in the process spent a lot of money on sub-par images. Working with Carlos was a pleasure as he made me feel relaxed and captured the best possible images of me. I highly recommend his work to anyone looking for professional head shots.

Kate Raven

We are a small not-for-profit agency in Vancouver and were looking to find a friendly photographer (at a reasonable price) to capture our staff's headshots for our website, As soon as I spoke with Carlos and Becky, it was clear that they put in an extra effort to get to know us each as individuals.. They took their time during the shoot and really brought out our true selves in each photo.. I would definitely recommend Art of Headshots to anyone in Vancouver looking for headshots. Carlos really delivers more than his photography skills! Thank you Carlos and Becky!

Shae Hadden

Love my headshot! People tell me it reflects their experience of my physical presence in real life - always right there, in the moment. Not an easy feat. Kudos, Carlos.

William Archer

This was the first time using a professional to get a headshot rather than a selfie or using a friend. What a difference! Carlos works with you to try and discover that one moment in time that can stand still and represent you to your audience. During a conversation with Carlos there is some back and forth and then click-click-click-click he has caught something attention-grabbing. It was a lot more relaxing, interesting, and fun than I thought it would be. Highly recommended - you'll be amazed at what the difference that a highly skilled professional can do with a camera. Besides - you deserve a professionally done headshot at this stage in your career.

Henry Wong

Carlos is very professional and skilled in his work. He went out of his way to make sure I am satisfied with my business head shots. Very impressive!

Jessica Byrne

Carlos is great at what he does! Super fun and professional!

Brian Jenkins

Went for company photos. Very great session with Carlos. Totally professional and did great in coaching for shoot.

Elizabeth Perez

My name is Elizabeth and I am a extremely satisfied client of Carlos Taylhardat and Art of Headshots. Initially I had a headshot done by another professional and was not satisfied, Carlos explained his process for capturing a modern portrait. He excelled in every aspect; a) During the shoot he made me feel relaxed. I left his session feeling amazing. b) I was produced with a gallery to select my images and had full access to download. c) His photoshop skills matched his ability to bring out the best of those being photographed. I was given files optimized for printing and web. d) I referred him to the rest of my office and he offered a great value and all of my colleagues were equally appreciative of his talents. Without hesitation feel free to contact me if you have any questions about his work.

V. Wiebel

Carlos, makes even the shy extrovert show her true colors, capturing the essence is a gift and Carlos leads you ( as you let him LOL) and finds the nano-second to capture you in moments of alive brilliance. be ready to tell a story about yourself and your portrait come naturally - also I very appreciated him been a total gentleman allowing me to be at ease . I am sending folks his way .... Vanessa Wiebel ,Professional Co-active Life Coach

Cecilia Zhu

I had a wonderful experience working with Carlos. He was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He tried to bring out my best face expression through chatting with me and spending time to get to know me. The photos turn out to be beautiful and natural, I love them so much. Highly recommend.

Christian Basantes

Carlos does his job in a different and unique way. What I like the most is that he gets the real you during the photo session. If you want to get great and unique head shots for yourself, I absolutely recommend him. Thank you Carlos for your great work!!

Danielle Mountjoy

I don't normally leave reviews, but I would definitely recommend Art of Headshots - top notch customer service, followed by a great shooting experience and final product. My inquiry call and followup email were both returned within hours (even though it was after their working hours). I was working on a tight timeline and they did everything possible to accommodate me. I originally decided to go with Art of Headshots because the photos on their website looked like real people and conveyed more personality compared to the other headshot companies I researched in Vancouver (which tended to looked more superficial and posed). I wanted something professional and natural. After meeting Carlos I understand why I was initially drawn to his work - he takes the time to get to know his clients, makes you feel comfortable, and then captures a shot that shows your true character. We took shooting breaks to review the photos and make sure there was a final product I was happy with (which is great for someone who doesn't feel naturally photogenic). I never felt rushed and was very happy with the result - I have a headshot that can be used for many purposes and will last for years. Thanks Carlos and Becky!

Preety

Carlos is an incredible photographer. I thoroughly enjoyed my session with him. He was very accommodating and has a no questions asked policy on reshoots if needed. Definitely worth the money if you want beautiful headshots in Vancouver.

Landen Elston

How important is your headshot? As important as you consider yourself or your brand to be... Carlos, captured outstanding portraits of my associates and myself. I highly recommend him for your personal or professional needs.

Alexander Potter

According to the feedback I've received since posting my new head shot, I've recently become more distinguished and better looking. It's because Carlos is a genius at his craft. He put me at ease with his engaging conversation, had me recalling fond memories and captured me in that moment. If you want to share the best you with the world, Carlos is the man to see. Thanks again for being such a consummate professional and all round excellent human being, Carlos.

Alex

Very professional and personalized service was provided. Highly recommended.

Dave Macdonald

I can't say enough about Carlos's approach when it comes to capturing the ideal head shot. His expertise behind the camera is great, but what really sets Carlos apart is his connection with people and how he quickly gets to know how to evoke an array of expressions from his clients. This lets him get to the heart of producing an excellent head shot in a way that's efficient, thoughtful and actually quite meaningful.

Andjelija Radovic

Not all the professionals who need to have professional photos done - necessarily like to pose. But Carlos was such a pleasant surprize , with his approach he made the whole thing fun, easy and very comfortable. Besides, he's done amazing job, we really liked the photos!

Theophilus Kok

It was truly a wonderful experience to work with Carlos. His theory of taking the headshots is unique, and I like it. It was not like you can do the same headshot at any where else, it was like we were friend and he was taking the photos for someone he knew. I want to add an extra star for him, because he told me a place in Vancouver that I should go for sightseeing. About the headshots, off course I like it very much!!!

Michael den Haan

Very professional and responsive. Even when I arrived late, Carlos was able to accommodate and provide the pictures I needed. Thank you!

Monty Lennie

Highly recommended. Carlos set a great ambiance and made me feel very comfortable. Very happy with the quality of photos also.

Olivia Szczepanski

Great company to worth with. Carlos is an amazing photographer that really brings out the best in you while taking your headshot. He is very personable and down to earth, and knows all the tips and tricks to produce the best final result. Thank you Becky for your editing and cooperation, she is very accommodating and so kind. Both amazing people seriously recommend them!!

Graeme Boyd

Very professional service and excellent results from a photographer who engages with his subjects in order to bring out their qualities in his work.

Nour Chahwan

I had to update my professional headshot and was very nervous because of previous bad experiences. I am someone very difficult to photograph, I always close my eyes and am camera shy. In the past, photographers would get upset with me! When I voiced this concerned to Carlos he reassured me that he would never get upset, and it's true he was so patient. This experience was very pleasant and very different. Carlos takes the time to get to know you and you end up forgetting that you're actually taking photos. Halfway through the appointment, he checks with you if you like what's been done so far and will adjust accordingly. I felt really comfortable and I even had fun! Highly recommend Art of Headshots.

Ronan Currid

I cant say enough positives about my experience with Art of headshots. Very professional and caring approach. I had my headshots done outside in a location of my choice. Carlos is a super talented photographer, great listener, very understanding of your needs, created a great experience and he really has great way of getting you into the right frame of mind for your shots. The shots came out great and the edits too. I would use their services again without hesitation. Thanks to all the team.

Araz Hamian

My experience working with Art of Headshots was pleasant, efficient and professional from start to finish. Becky answered all my questions, gave recommendations for clothing and makeup, and set up the appointment within a couple of hours of my initial inquiry - very responsive! The shoot itself was different than my previous corporate headshot sessions, in the best possible way. Carlos took the time to connect with me through conversation, asking questions about myself and what I'm interested in doing with my career. He explained how he would do the photo shoot before starting, so I knew what to expect. There was no 'posing' - he gave only very minimal direction, mostly just asked questions, listened, responded with thoughtful comments, and occasionally asked me to pause so he could shoot a few pictures. The hour sped by, and felt like I had spent an hour talking with a friend. The process from photo shoot to receiving my final touched-up photos took 6 days, and was again very professionally handled by Becky. It was easy to review my gallery online and submit my choice for retouching. I am very happy with the final product, and am excited to use it to enhance my online profiles. Thanks, Carlos and Becky! I will certainly use you again when I need my headshots refreshed.

Sean Wicks

I cannot rave enough about my experience with ART OF THE HEADSHOTS. First off the session itself was relaxed and open. Carlos took my suggestions, had some himself and went out of his way to make me comfortable to get a natural shot. He suggested outside and while the photos looked great, some elements of my look didn't come out so well when re-viewed later (he shows you first on a tablet then they send a gallery later). I chose one, but they felt that I wasn't happy so THEY offered a re-shoot at no extra cost. They set it up quickly, it went fantastic and the second batch were beyond great. They didn't overly try to upsell me but did make offers for me to have additions (which I am likely to take since I am so happy). Their packages are affordable, they are conveniently located and the quality is top-notch.

Mark & Angela Girard

Carlos was a pleasure to work with. He made me feel very relax and comfortable which lead to really great shots. By the end of the photo shot, I felt like we were old friends. Many thanks, Carlos! Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Carlos and Art of Headshots to anyone seeking high quality, professional and natural looking headshots and photos.

Jessica Coulthard

Carlos worked his magic to create some amazing photos for me!!

Chloe Wang

The best head shots I have so far - five stars for sure. Working with Carlos is super easy, fun and efficient. Thank you for capturing my image of the best moments! I will recommend this studio to all my co-workers and friends.

Betty Lam

One of my trusted friends said I looked "gorgeous, confident & content". My reaction was, "Wow!" I am still trying to digest that comment. Thanks, Carlos! Betty Lam, BA, CPCC, ACC Your Intuitive Journey Life Coaching

Olga Orda

Carlos is an exceptional photographer. He worked tirelessly to create the ideal headshot for my company and I loved the final result. Highly personable, very professional and warm, Carlos has a way of putting you at ease and bringing out the best in your character to create the specific look you are going for. As someone with high standards, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Call Carlos, you will not be disappointed.

Peter Wolf

Carlos, you are amazing! As are the shots! Two sessions, beautiful results, wonderful experience. Thank you!

Jeremiah Ukponrefe

The photos turned out great! Photographer did a great job of guiding a beginner

Bevan Bird

Carlos did a great job on my photos, they're impressive! People really took notice of me online once I updated my profiles with them. Not only that, he made sure to capture my essence by asking me open questions and inviting me to talk about what really turns my crank: I told him a story about the first time I climbed a mountain... without a rope. Thank you Carlos!

Maria Pawluczuk

Thank you Carlos and Becky for the amazing experience and headshots!

Dhruv Narang

I can't recommend Arts of Headshots Studios highly enough. I recently had a professional headshot session with Carlos and was really impressed with their friendly and professional services. Carlos is a talented photographer, who loves to have conversation with the clients and brings out the best from his clients. Overall, I was highly satisfied with Carlo's services and the end result, which was according to my taste. Kudos to the entire team!

Brett Rutledge

Carlos was awesome. Puts you at ease and really knows how to capture something great. You're in good hands.

Sisi Tsukishima

Carlos is an amazing photographer with the talent of capturing the moments which are exactly what we would like to show in our professional headshots. Carlos also made my my first time headshots experience very comfortable and pleasant. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants wonderful professional headshots.

Lowing Media

Can't say enough about my experience with Art of Headshots. From first contact to the close of the transaction I was very impressed. I needed shots for more than one medium and they came through in spades. Personable, professional and priced right I confident in my recommendation to you. Thank you Massi, Becky and Carlos I look forward to my next shoot!

Babak Zamani

Brilliant experience! Carlos made my portrait photography session such an excellent experience in Vancouver with his professionalism and friendliness. I highly recommend the Art of Headshots Vancouver Studio to anyone who wants fantastic headshots. Carlos spent time with me and got to know me in person, and after that, he portrayed my personality and career ideals into the headshots. Amazing job! Thanks.

Susan Anoop

Carlos is an amazing photographer; he makes you feel comfortable and content. Getting your head shots taken at the Art of Headshots is truly a wonderful experience. Carlos takes the time and effort to bring out the best you in your photographs. I am very happy with my head shots.

Anthony McLaughlin

Very professional and outstanding photos. Highly recommend Carlos.

Rees Haynes

Thank you Art of Headshots, for professional portraits of our community of Men in Vancouver. Your headshots are engaging and help us with our social media goals. Thank You, Rees Haynes

Katherine Anne Fairfoul

Carlos was very welcoming and friendly to work with. I may be an actor but I hate having my picture taken and I'm always awkward in front of a still camera. But Carlos chatted with me and took me round to different locations and really spent time getting to know me and put me at my ease. I was really surprised by the way the shots turned out and my agent was very pleased. They offered a lovely range of looks and were so true to me that the my agent didn't even want his choices touched up. I highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking for quality and truth in their headshots or portrait.

Maricela Del Carmen

The reason why I chose Art of Headshots was more than evident the day of the shoot: Carlos is genuine and professional and as a result his work is authentic; I wanted a photographer who could accurately capture someone's essence. Carlos talks to you, asks questions, and inquires about your goals so that he can give you the best photos possible. Becky was very helpful, and I appreciated her speed with extra edit requests. Thank you both so much! I sincerely recommend Art of Headshots; I left the studio feeling inspired and am delighted with the photos.

Candace Bernier

I had the pleasure of working with Carlos with my Business Headshots. He is extremely professional and knows how to pull out the passion within you,that you have for your business and capture it. Thank you so much, I love my photos!

Cesar Calle

Best service.

Simona A

Carlos is an incredibly talented photographer with a genuine passion for capturing your energy. I needed an updated photo for my LinkedIn profile. I was nervous to take professional photos but was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Prior to starting, he took the time to get to know me better and understand my goals. The photos came out very natural. A benefit of choosing The Art of Headshots is that your photos are fully guaranteed to your satisfaction. I was confident we would get the right shot in the first session. For a headshot that reflects your personality and professionalism, I would highly recommend Carlos.

bijan karim

Carlos is good at recognizing the model's personality and finding natural methods to capture their ways. Thanks!

Greg Viger

The best headshot photography service in Greater Vancouver. Carlos is a master. Over the years I have seen many Realtor photos taken by Carlos and he always does a great job of catching that right moment. Recently a Realtor I know well had an updated shot taken by someone else his office had arranged with. It was mediocre at best. Art of Headshots offers a fair price for an exceptional end result. If you are in business get your most critical marketing piece done right.

varouj gumuchian

the event that occurred when Carlos started the process of shooting me was amazing. the techniques that he uses is pretty creative. i love his original approach and the way that he makes you feel completely natural. The results show absolutely how that moment is captured in a fleeting way. the spontaneous energy that he exhibits is worldly. By putting you at ease, Carlos creates a context of true portrait. The quality of the images communicate the character and personality of the subject. He was able to bring out the inner nature of who i am. The fluid interpretation of what i am about and confidence of using the shots for future projects and clients. Thanks again Carlos for a job well done. Varouj Gumuchian, architect

Adrienne Butler

I would recommend Carlos to anyone looking to have professional headshots for any reason. Carlos is very personable and knows how to inspire the natural expressions required for a great personal photo. Carlos is also true to his guarantee; just before my first shoot with him I had an unfortunate experience at the hairdresser. Despite the fact that some of the proofs were gorgeous, I felt like I needed a reshoot because the hair in the first set of pictures just didn't look like 'me.' Carlos was very cooperative in setting up another shoot and the second set of proofs came out just as great (if not better) than the first! Thanks Carlos for your help!

Guy Soulliere

To say I was nervous getting my headshots done is an understatement. I'm self conscience about my smile. Carlos has a talent that cannot be taught, and a method that really works. He was so good at getting to "my story" that there were many times I forgot I was being photographed. Those were the genuine moments and that was what he was so good at capturing on film. Money very well spent!

Laxmi Subedi

I had a shot taken at Art of Headshots, Vancouver through my company. Carlos a wonderful job in making you comfortable and prepared for the shots. Their service is courteous and professional. I'd recommend them.

Boris Schaffer

It was a very good and relaxing experience and that was very helpful to reach my goal of a photograph that could really show who I am. I was very impressed with Carlos and his commitment to make sure we got the proper photograph. He was very flexible and accommodating and was able to capture my emotions.

Anita MacQuarrie

I am completely satisfied with my headshots.Thank you Carlos,for making the whole process so enjoyable.

Isis Sutton-Jones

Carlos provided a wonderfully personalized yet expert service. The resulting photos which I have used both professionally and personally, are fantastic.

Elinor Warkentin

I recently had my headshot done by Carlos and today I saw the results. I love my photos! I'm eager to get my new headshot onto my website. When I went to for my session at the Art of Headshots studio, I loved the experience. Carlos sat me down, made me a coffee, and started with a chat about what was important to me. He had a way of not only drawing out the me I was excited about, he got straight to my essence, so that soon I was bubbling about my passions and life adventures. The session was one of my most fun times in front of a camera. This morning I got to see the me that Carlos captured and I'm so pleased with the results. People say I 'shine'. During the session with Carlos, I felt like I was shining, and when I see the picture, that's the me that Carlos so beautifully captured. If you want a portrait that shows your essence, that brings out the inner you, Carlos is the photographer I recommend.

Jasdeep Thind

It is clear that Carlos is very passionate for photography, and he was very welcoming and has great communication skills. I had a great experience working with them!!!!

Leon Wong

I definitely recommend anyone who hasn't gotten their headshots done to go to Art of Headshots! I know some people might worried about not feeling comfortable in front of the camera. However, Art of Headshots is totally different. Carlos is excellent and professional. He'll talk to you and make you feel like you're just talking to an old friend while he captures your best smile and emotion. The studio environment is comfortable and I actually had fun! The picture doesn't feel like you are smiling on purpose for the photo. It feels very natural. I was in a need to update all my social media account profile pics and I am glad I picked Carlos. Thank you Carlos and Becky for providing me with such great results!

Alex Salvador

Great photo shoot with Carlos yesterday. He really takes the time and effort to bring out the best in people and translate that into a headshot!

Vladimir Petrovic

I am very happy with the work Becky and Carlos did. Photos are really great and the whole process was smooth and relaxing. Highly recommend Art of Headshots!

Kim Mattinson

Amazing work! Carlos was fantastic at capturing many beautiful photos of me. I’m so blown away and so grateful to have had so many great photos to choose from. I have some of my Best Happy Beautiful photos ever of myself. I’m blessed to be in a happy place in my life and it really showed up on the photos. Thanks a million team for the beautiful work and making me look my best ever!! I’m so happy with the natural looking enhancements! I highly recommend Art of Headshots Vancouver Studio and find their cost very good.

Thomas Cemm

Carlos knows exactly what he's doing and takes fantastic photos

Priyanka Mutsuddi

It was an amazing experience working with Carlos. Their prices are extremely reasonable considering what you get in return. This was my first headshot and I was nervous but I was put to an ease.

Doug Anderson

Carlos is a master at what he does best....capture the essence of his clients in a time capsule photo for business or personal use. He made the session fly by painlessly as I don't like my picture taken...and produced such a range of photo's that my son and wife picked out nine #1's in only 20 head shots. He helped me see the true value of creating a memorable photograph. Years ago he would have been great for Life Magazine! I recommend him without hesitation. DA of DA Top Talent

Eamonn Alphin

I went to get some professional photos taken here and my experience was great. Carlos's approach and technique to the shoot was unexpected but made the experience very enjoyable! The photos came out amazing too far better than anything I would have got even on my iPhone even with its AI photo retouching thing. I definitely recommend anyone without a professional headshot looking to get one to get it done here!

ulfa lidinillah

The best photo shoot ever in my life, Carlos is such an amazing photographer with his special method. Love it and highly recommended!

Angus Burke

Carlos has a real passion for his business and it shows with the professionalism and detail of his work. Would strongly recommend his services to other professionals.

Michael Shih

Amazing work! Had my professional headshot photo taken by Carlos and I am getting lots of compliments. He really took his time to grab my true emotions with each shot. If you are looking for a professional photographer give Carlos a call!

emma pashak

I am thrilled with the photos that Carlos from Art of Headshots took for me. I need a headshot for my employer, and I am happy with how they turned out. The entire process from booking the appointment, the photoshoot, and Becky sending the images two days later was simple. I am happy that a few touch-ups can be made and look forward to receiving them in a few days. All in all, it was professional and straightforward, and I am happy with the result. I highly recommend Art of Headshots.

Assunta Iannilli

I have always been the family photographer so I was reluctant to be a “model”. Carlos put me at ease, made me forget that he was taking my picture, and I just enjoyed our conversation about my dreams being realized. He had a gift for making me move in the moment with grace and simplicity. I love the headshot and would highly recommend Carlos to anyone who was looking for a headshot that showed the essence of themselves.

Robert Trasolini

Carlos is not only an exceptional person but he also does amazing professional photos. The response that I have been getting from my photo is great! I only wish I did this sooner. I would highly recommend working with Carlos and Art of Headshots!!

Matt Q

Very friendly and professional. Many of us aren't used to the large photo setups and it can often be awkward. This was a easy experience to get some great photos.

Jose Luis Valencia

Being in a genuine moments at Art of Headshots Studio, Carlos captured my energy in the photographs that show who really I am. Carlos is an excellent human being, and professional. I'm very happy with the great results. Thanks a lot.

Chris and Julie Canilanza

I am a repeat customer of Art of Headshots Vancouver. Carlos is amazing and fun to work with. I feel comfortable on camera with him expressing emotions and he captures it right there and then. The beauty out of each captured session is the essence of a professional photographer like Carlos. It will be my pleasure to go back with him in the future.

Becky MacQuarrie

Maybe I am biassed because I work with Carlos, or maybe I know more about how he works than anybody else. People's biggest complaint are usually about themselves, Carlos has a distinct ability to produce a head shot for online engagement that will resolve your complaints. So, if you have had less than desired experience with your portraits, call Art of of headshots, certainly you will be glad.

Dandan Yang

I had the headshot session with Calos, and it was wonderful! He is a very caring photographer as he will always care about your mood during the session, and he is trying to bring up your best face expression. I would highly recommend him for headshot session.

Rod Moshtaghi

I found Art of Headshot when I was looking for a professional LinkedIn photo for my job search. We had two shoots together: one indoors and another outdoors. From the moment of arrival, Carlos was warm and welcoming. We had a great conversation about what I was looking for and how they related to my goals, which helped me fully embody confidence and feel at ease in front of the camera. Throughout the whole experience we were sharing laughs and stories, and the photos turned out amazing at the end. I would highly recommend working with Carlos for your next shoot, and I will be returning there when I need professional headshots done next.

Yan Wang

It was my best photographing experience ever. Carlos is super nice and professional. He is passionate about what he is doing and did extremely well in capturing real you by guiding through natural conversations. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a professional headshot.

Saeed Ahmad

Great Experience ! Very professional and unique approach. Quality results ! Highly recommended ! Thanks Carlos !

Careena Sharma

Art of Headshots was the best choice I made to get my professional headshots done. It was a pleasure working with Carlos, He's professional and a genius. Half of the time I was laughing so hard and he perfectly captured all my silly laughs. When I first walked in for this photoshoot, Carlos initiated a fun conversation about life, in those few minutes he understood what I wanted. Sure enough, I liked almost every picture of mine. In the end I couldn't decide which one to pick. Working with Carlos and the Art of Headshots was a phenomenal experience, one that I'll never forget. Thank you, Carlos.

Louise Postill

Carlos and Becky were brilliant. Carlos was really generous with his time and effort and the photos came out really well. Would definitely recommend them if you're looking for professional headshots in Vancouver!

Faye Bednarczyk

I had the pleasure of working with Carlos last week at a major event at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Carlos was a joy to work with and very passionate about his craft. Thank you Carlos for your time and attention to our guests. All the best!

S Wu

Carlos is an amazing photographer who will be able to bring out the type of look you want. Becky did an incredible job of touching up the photos and getting them back to me in a couple of business days! Highly recommended!

Lindsey Porter

I don't normally write reviews, however felt my experience with the art of headshots was so fantastic I couldn't not share it. I had zero insight into headshot photography, and so when I was informed I needed to have a headshot for an application, I didn't have a clue where to even start looking. Luckily my hairdresser recommended the art of headshots to me, and told me I wouldn't be disappointed. What an understatement! Anyone who comes across this review- if you want a headshot done for whatever reason, this is where it's at. And trust me on this. Carlos uses a technique I have never come across in photography before, and explores areas/interests within your life that truly do come out in the images he captures during the photography session. This session is not your typical stand in front of a camera, smile, pose, okay we are done. It is an experience and it amazed me how my photos truly altered from the first initial shots to the finals photos taken towards the end of the session. When Carlos told me first hand he guarantees his work, and would redo the session if I was not happy with the outcome I couldn't believe it. However after receiving the images - it all made sense. I was so surprised/excited/and truly thrilled with the outcome. Becky- who is the photography editor is absolutely superb! She sends you the album of photos, and goes through with you which photos you want editing and any specifications regarding the editing. I had a very specific criteria and she was phenomenal in making everything come together and the turn around time on the photos was incredibly quick with such an amazing result. I cannot recommend the art of headshots enough.

Hanmo

Carlos is so professional that take the photos when we are talking. That's why the photos look very nature. Also, Carlos is a very kind guy. You won't regret to see him and let him take the photo for you.

Rajat Sharma

Carlos is the best

Caitlin Padayachee

I loved working with Art of Headshots. The entire process was very professional and friendly and Carlos is a very talented photographer.

Tokyo Diablo

I am very happy with my head shot. I look great. I would recommend the company.

Lorenzo Daminato

I have experienced several head shot photographers over the years, including ones double the cost and Carlos and Becky delivered the best experience to date. With inside/outside options or both, I opted for in studio photos and the location was bright and perfect. Carlos technique is relaxing and comfortable and he finds a way to bring out a genuine smile in you. I would, and will highly recommend Carlos and will continue to use him in the future. I emptied their business card holder just so I can pass them along to colleagues.

Ting Xu

I am glad that my first professional photograph was taken by Carlos. I never liked my photos being taken by but Carlos made the whole experience relaxing, personal, and fun. As a former counselor, he has a unique ability to bring out the best side of you by getting to know you and engaging you throughout the process. He is also very patient and took extra time with me to experiment different shots until I was completely satisfied. Carlos is more than a photographer, he is a director that brings out the movie star in you!

Colleen Brow

I needed to update my headshots for a theatre production and carefully did my research before choosing a photographer. Carlos had great reviews and I can see why. His number one priority is to make the client truly happy with the finished product. Half-way during the session, he shows you the photos so far - to ensure you're both on the same page. He's got wonderful ideas regarding poses, but is also open to the client's input. He's warm, personable...and has a fun and friendly way of conversing with you while snapping to draw out your authentic self. I had been sick with bronchitis prior to my shoot. Upon viewing the photos, I could see I wasn't completely healthy. Carlos was so generous and open to re-shooting the entire session a few weeks later (no extra charge) when I was completely healthy. Thanks Carlos!

Rahim Rayani

The whole experience here was great. I feel like Carlos really listened to what I had to say and was able to make adjustments on the fly. Those adjustments resulted in a winner. Follow up and delivery were also on time and as promised. I recommend Art of Headshots and will use them again in the future.

We hired Art of Headshots to take our headshots and group photos. We are a brand new law firm and wanted these photos for our website. We opted for the branding session which includes a meeting with the photographer prior to the photoshoot to discuss our brand, vision and audience, all of which to inform the style of photos, backgrounds etc . We had a wonderful experience working with our photographer. He was professional, experienced and knowledgeable. We sat down and together created a planned and focused photoshoot that served our marketing purposes well. The photos are beautiful and the backgrounds he suggested turned out perfectly. We really liked his relaxed approach during the session. It helped us relax and look natural and authentic in the photos. Every now and then he asked us to close our eyes and think about the business we are building, the people we will be helping etc and then open our eyes. He would then capture our expression. It really brought out who we are. It was all in all the best experience I've had with business photography. I highly recommend their service and plan on asking them to do more photos for us in the future as the firm grows.

Our son does acting and needs to get headshots made from time to time. We found The Art of Headshots online. The web-site seemed to be well setup and easy to navigate. We found the right package and scheduled a convenient appointment. The pricing was very competitive. It wasn’t until we attended the appointment that we realized the real value. The photographer was very experienced. He guided our son to show various expressions and captured some really amazing photographs. Everything about this company, from the intuitive website to the friendly editor and administrator, to the superior quality of the edited headshots has been exceptional. We will be coming back from now on. Chuck V.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Carlos, with his extensive industry knowledge was very helpful and I believe brought the best out in me during the session. I'm very happy with my photo gallery results. Highly recommend!

Carlos is a really fantastic photographer. Carlos' strength is his personality. He is a great conversationalist and knows how to get people talking. In getting you to share your thoughts and opinions you become more animated and relaxed. Being relaxed made it easy for him to capture the confidence that I was hoping to project in my headshot. I was really happy with the results and highly recommend his work.

John Mickelson

Thank you Carlos for making our web page look so much better with your great photographs of the staff and the office. It was a pleasure working with you.

Tristan Miura

Art of Headshots is the most superb headshot studio I could have possibly imagined. Carlos is so much more than just a professional but he is a true master of his craft. He managed to get amazing photos that only someone with experience, and natural talent can take. I cannot describe how impressed I was with this studio and Carlos. Thank you so much. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for professionally done headshots to go to Art of Headshots.

Travis Green

Carlos truly made my photography session a 5 star experience. From start to finish, I am very pleased. As someone that is not completely comfortable in front of a camera, Carlos was able to break through this, using his experienced personable techniques to produce natural-looking shots. Thank you again Art of Headshots Vancouver!

Michelle Desreux

The name does really reflect the process. An artful approach to capturing both your image and your energy in a unique, relaxed way. All further enhanced with thoughtful, expert cropping and polishing of the shot to optimize for the appropriate medium. I really do feel like I"m putting my best face forward . And I had trouble choosing from among several great shots - nice problem!

Taj Toor

Highly recommend Carlos in Vancouver

Virginia Mouland

I am a single Mom, to my 14 year old son. I was hesitant to get professional photos done because I am on a budget and I wanted to ensure they would be amazing. I did some research on Google and decided to give Carlos a call. During our conversion I asked, why I should choose him over another photographer. He took the time to explain his services and experience to me and told me that he would not be happy, until I was happy, even if I needed to do a re-shoot. He made me feel confident in him and continued to answer all my questions/concerns. During the photo shoot, he asked my son what his hobbies/passions were - he developed a conversation to connect with my son and made him feel comfortable. When the shoot was done, I felt like Carlos actually got to know us as people, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is hesitant. The photos turned out amazing and Carlos kept true to his word - and even delivered much more than he initially promised. He definitely goes above and beyond and I would guarantee that - on his behalf.....

Jennifer Kaiman

Really enjoyed my session! Pics turned out beautifully. Thank you for everything!

Armin Rahmani

Carlos is amazing. Highly recommend his work.

Mary Monaghan

I'm just thrilled by my recent actor's headshot session with Carlos at Art of Headshots in Vancouver! The ease of online booking, the great location, through the session itself -- which was a collaborative and happy experience -- the variety of images: everything was fantastic! Carlos takes the time to listen to an individual's goals and concerns before taking a single shot, and so, in my case, he captured more depth and range than any photographer has before. The proofs arrived quickly, my emails received responses almost immediately, and the cost was more than reasonable. Also, Carlos' assistant, Becky, worked a re-touching miracle on a shirt collar that had a mind of its own: amazing! I think any actor will be super-satisfied with the experience and the end results. I will definitely use Carlos' and Becky's talents again.

Teresa McKinley

Carlos is a fantastic photographer. He is easy to converse with and will make you feel comfortable being photographed even if you are uneasy about it. He has a real knack for catching the true spirit of his subject without it looking or feeling forced. My photos turned out amazing, I couldn't be happier!

Ron Parpara

Very professional and smooth experience all the way through with Carlos. He far exceeds expectations and ensures his clients are always happy. He has been a pleasure to deal with and being able to connect with the photographer is just as important as the quality of pictures they take and with Carlos he has the skill to do both very well. I’ve worked with him for my individual headshots and also he shot our entire office as well. The finished product was excellent and this will help all of us in our line of work. I would not hestitate to recommend Carlos for any type of portrait photography!!

Skai Fowler

Hi Highly recommend Art of Headshots! I found Carlos to be both personable and very professional. He has the wonderful ability to be relaxed, comfortable and was able to draw out of me a variety of expressions - good for my acting portfolio! I am over the moon with the results. When I left the studio I knew magic had happened. Thank you Carlos and Becky.

Sanam Bakhtiar

As a picky person, there have been very few occasions where I've had a picture of myself that I've liked; however, I'm extremely satisfied with the headshots that I received from Art of Headshots. Carlos is a fantastic photographer who makes you feel at ease and gets great natural looking (i.e. not stiff) shots, and then Becky works her magic to further improve upon the great shots with quality editing and touch-ups. It was like having the support of a glam-squad! I would highly recommend Art of Headshots.

Euphemia Redden

Carlos was professional, quick and worked very well with our two kids. The images he captured were natural and fun and he did it the same way. Anyone looking for a smooth and easy family portrait experience should talk to Carlos.

Grant McMahon

I respect Carlos and his methodology; he delivered a great experience, and a high quality set of photographs, that I feel really good about using to promote my practice as a counsellor and psychotherapist.

Mallory Waters

Kaycee Lashman -- I am not photogenic; in fact, I often don’t recognize myself in photos. So I dislike having my picture taken. But I needed one decent photograph that I could use for everything. My sister recently had her pictures taken by Carlos for her website. And she loved them, and I loved them because they looked like her – I mean, really looked like her. While Carlos was taking my pictures, he was getting to know me. Seriously, he asked me probing questions about my life. And at times he would ask me to close my eyes, think about what I had just said, and open my eyes; then he would take pictures. My photo session with Carlos resulted in pictures that reflect my true self. I recognize myself in those photos. I love that.

Kevin Carla Nash

During a recent job search, I found myself invited to meet with the president of a global firm as a "final interview step". With only a week before my meeting, I knew I needed to upgrade my rather casual LinkedIn photo with a more professional head shot as he was sure to check out my profile prior to our meeting. Carlos was able to save the day by fitting me in with very little notice and his work certainly got attention. As I just started work this week I received a welcoming email from my new boss and at the end he closed with "PS. Nice pic!" Looking to stand out from the crowd? Art of Headshots certainly makes an impression. Thanks Becky and Carlos!

Karl Renner

We've used Art of Headshots for our headshots on our company webpage a number of times now, and they've always done great work, Carlos is easy going and makes the photo shoot fun!

Melissa Phillips

Having our Christmas pictures done with Art of Headshots was an amazing experience. Carlos was happy with us doing our own thing but also had the expertise to show us a few things and get some really great shots. There was little waiting period as well to have the hard copies in our hand which is so great this time of year. We look forward to working with Art of Headshots in the future.

Mohamed Mahgoub

Carlos is super nice and talented! He always had something to add I would definetley come back again

Chris Vandermeer

From start to finish Art of Headshots has been a pleasure to work with. Becky answers questions promptly and professionally and Carlos made the photography session completely painless! The end result was exactly as desired, thanks again!

Stephen Williams

Having my headshots done with Carlos was such an awesome and unique experience! He knows exactly how to eliminate that awkward camera shyness that many people (like myself) normally experience, creating from this, some truly amazing shots. I'm extremely happy with the photo-shoot and how my photos turned out, i'll definitely be getting future photos done with him and will be pointing my friends in his direction as well.

Nick

Excellent experience! Carlos really has a talent for capturing great candid photos.

Andrea O'Leary

Talia Volken

Carlos made this a really enjoyable experience for me and I'd recommend him to anyone who needs headshots done. More than just a picture; he really captures your energy in a shot. I loved working with him and his process of taking pictures really made me comfortable in front of the camera. Genuine, professional and extremely real; Carlos is the man to see. Thank you Carlos!
