Professional Headshots That Change How You See Yourself.

Guided, polished headshots designed to project confidence and credibility for professionals across the South Bay.

Headshots for South Bay Professionals

I’m a South Bay headshot photographer based in San Pedro, working with professionals across Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Redondo Beach, and Palos Verdes. I photograph executives, consultants, entrepreneurs, and real estate agents who want to look confident, credible, and natural — not stiff or over-posed. Sessions are guided and efficient, so you leave with headshots that reflect how you want to be seen professionally.

Why your Headshot Matters

Before anyone reads your bio or reviews your credentials, they see your headshot. That image shapes perception immediately — signaling confidence, competence, and approachability within seconds. A strong headshot isn’t just a photo. It’s visual communication. My role is to guide you into natural, polished expressions that reflect confidence and credibility — without stiffness or exaggeration.

I’m centrally located in San Pedro and regularly photograph clients in Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and throughout the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

THE PROCESS

01. Consultation & Planning

We’ll talk through your goals, how you plan to use your images, and what you want to communicate. I’ll guide you on wardrobe choices and help you plan everything so the session feels intentional and stress-free.

02. Fully Guided Posing & Expression Coaching

You don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera — that’s my job.

I’ll guide every expression, angle, and micro-adjustment so your images feel natural and confident. No awkward “say cheese” moments. Just authentic, professional portraits that look like you.

03. Multiple Looks & Backgrounds

We’ll shoot a variety of outfits and backgrounds so you have options for different platforms and uses — LinkedIn, your website, casting profiles, marketing materials, whatever you need.

04. Image Selection & Pro Retouching

You’ll review your images same-day or online. Retouching is natural and clean — designed to keep you looking like yourself, just polished. No heavy filters, no over-editing. You’ll still look like you when someone meets you in person.

Why work with me?

Most professionals walk into a headshot session feeling at least a little unsure — and that’s normal. Standing in front of a camera can feel unnatural, especially when you’re not sure what to do with your expression or posture. I spend the first few minutes getting to know you and understanding how you work, because confidence shows up differently on everyone. I can usually tell within seconds how comfortable someone is in front of the camera and adjust my direction accordingly. As we shoot, I share images in real time so you can see your progress. What starts as tension almost always shifts into confidence — and the reaction I hear most often is, “I didn’t know I could look like that.”

Marcus, the results speak for themselves...you were not only professional and superbly talented, but you were fun to work with too!
