Best professional headshots in Oakland

Ben is incredible! I booked him for new commercial/lifestyle/theatrical headshots, and every single photo is a true and best representation of me! I think he is the first photographer to truly capture the real me, and as and actor, I can say I have found my favorite photographer. This is rare. He is wonderful to work with, and knows how to put you at ease in front of the camera so that you can truly enjoy your shoot. Turn around time for gallery and edits is very fast too. Looking forward to working with you again in the future; thank you Ben!

Ben was such a pleasure to work with! After searching for photographers for 2-3 weeks, I found Ben to take my business headshots and could not be happier. He asked all the right questions before the photoshoot and made me feel very comfortable through the entire process. Ben is very professional and a highly skilled photographer. I was so happy with how my photos turned out and highly recommend if you're looking to brand yourself professionally.

Ben is great. He photographed heads hots for my office in San Francisco. He is easy to work with and makes sure each person felt at ease happy with their photographs. Would recommend him for sure.

I absolutely LOVE my new headshots! Ben Krantz was great in terms of making me feel at ease and confident, explaining the process, and in selecting the best final shots. The shoot was efficient while feeling like there was plenty of time and the turnaround time for the final product helped me make a tight deadline. Ben is great at what he does and these headshots will last me for years.

Update from my second visit, 18 months later: Ben continues to do an amazing job, highly recommend! Ben did an amazing job with my headshots! He made the whole process feel fun and comfortable, and the every shot he got was just gorgeous! He clearly knows his art, and his neighborhood -- we went to multiple locations within a block or two of his studio to get various backgrounds for different shots. He was also super quick in getting me the edited photos. If you need headshots for anything, I strongly recommend him!

Brian was great working with me on a new professional headshot. It was a fun experience and very easy to follow instructions to get images that were authentic and not stiff. My picture actually looks like me! The whole process was efficient and he was able to turn around the final images within my needed time frame. Highly recommend!

Thanks again, Brian!

Google wouldn't display my previous review but I'm determined to give Brian 5 stars so I'll try again! Here is what I have to say: Working with Brian has been an absolute highlight for me as the CEO of a growing startup. Everything from the communications to his presence on site, to the deliverable was superb. I'll definitely be reaching out to Brian again, this is the perfect headshot! Thanks Brian! [I had previously included some screenshots of our communications to show how professional and positive he is to work with but in case that's the reason that the review didn't go live you'll just have to take my word for it.]

Matt has very sharp eyes, he sees the uniqueness in you and skillfully captures it with his camera. I went to his studio in a late afternoon, we started with a casual conversation and in a relaxing and comfortable environment he started to take pictures. I really love what he does, and I never had such satisfactory pictures for such a long time. Matt also knows very well about the history of photography and the works of canonical photographers, his own practice is very based on that, which explains why he’s so good at what he does. I’d definitely recommend him!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Matt! I needed professional headshots taken for my new job. From initial contact to final product- Matt is highly professional, skilled in his craft and genuinely kind. Pricing was also very reasonable. As someone who does not like being in front of a camera, Matt made it easy, comfortable and enjoyable. I appreciated his direction and guidance in how to pose. He really has an eye for lighting and angles. He also let me peek at the photos, which turned out amazing! It gave me that extra confidence boost throughout the rest of the shoot. Don’t pass up a chance to work with him- thanks Matt!

There’s a reason Berkeley Portrait Studio has only 5 star reviews! Matt is awesome to work with! He’s friendly, a great conversationalist, and created a very comfortable environment at his studio during my photo session. He sent me a first look of my photos a few hours after my appointment and I had final images the next afternoon. Great experience and excellent quality. Thanks Matt!

Matt was very welcoming and professional in guiding to take the best shots for my new career profiles. His edits were superb. He replies on time and sends you edits even earlier than what is mentioned on the website. I am happy and satisfied with his work.

I’ve been following LemonAd’s Instagram for a little while now and love their content. I knew that I wanted to do a shoot with them so when graduation came around, I knew exactly who to contact! Booking is super easy and they really try their best to work around your schedule as well as what time gives you the best lighting for photos. I had already taken grad photos previously but I knew that I wanted this shoot to be more “fun” and laid back. Eddie did a great job at making sure I felt comfortable and got the shots that I really wanted! I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for photographers that are professional, on time and very polite! ☺️

The photographer (Eduardo) and his wife (Danielle) do an amazing job and are experts at their craft. Eduardo worked with my wife and I on locations for a maternity shoot and and he understood exactly what we wanted. He was punctual and the rates are extremely competitive. He was friendly and very responsive throughout the whole photo shoot and was able to get us the touched up pictures really quickly. Anyone considering LemonAd Media shouldn’t waste any time looking elsewhere and should book them ASAP!

I actually won a free mini shoot with Eddie G. through his Instagram. I decided to get some grad photos since graduation was just a few months away. We set a time and place and everything went by smoothly. Eddie was there earlier to get a feel for the location. He has done several grad shoots so he had plenty of ideas. I was pretty nervous but Eddie was patient and gave very clear directions. Overall I had a fun time! The pictures came not long after and I am very happy with the results! If you are looking for an experienced and passionate photographer, I recommend LemonAd Media! Thank you!
