“…Danny instantly put me at ease” - Luz Polanco
-
Even though I’ve worked with Fortune 500 brands & top talent, I prefer just shooting headshots & portraits for people like yourself!
My love for people helps my clients feel at ease in front of my camera, and my commercial experience adds stringent technical standards for top-tier lighting, shooting, and retouching.
This makes the difference between an average headshot, and an exceptional one. Since your headshot has to last a while anyways, why not get the best, which you can proudly show off?

FYI When Hiring A Leslieville PHOTOGRAPHER
-
This might seem like a no brainer, but many people ask us “why should I hire a Leslieville headshot photographer, when I can easily have someone else take my picture for free?”
And to that, we often say, go ahead! If you can get the results you want by using a more cost-effective method, why wouldn’t you?
But often, the results people want, and the free methods available to them are in conflict—that is, you get what you pay for.
Often, people have high expectations of what their headshots or portraits should look like. And that typically comes with the benefit of hiring a professional Leslieville portrait photographer!
-
If you’re looking to shoot with us inside of Toronto photography studio, you can book your headshot or portrait sessions online via the BOOK NOW portal. You’ll need a valid Credit Card to book.
If you have any questions about your portrait or headshot session that are not urgent, feel free to email us by using the email form at the bottom footer of our website! If you want slightly prioritized service, contact us.
When reaching out, make sure to have all your questions listed out and ready to go. If you have them all ready in one message, we’ll be better able to address your inquiries in a timely manner to get you scheduled in faster!
If the nature of your inquiry is urgent, or if you want to schedule a last minute shoot, feel free to call. We answer most calls!
-
If you’d like to schedule your photoshoot elsewhere than at our Toronto photography studio, it’s best to inquire directly with us. Please note that it is more cost effective and easy to simply shoot at our Toronto photo studio, as traveling to your office requires more production time to set-up and take down, and travel expenses. For this reason we advise you to consider shooting at our Toronto studio unless you’ve got a generous budget.
-
If you’ve never been photographed, that’s ok! We work with plenty of newbies everyday and it’s actually quite a fun experience when you’re guided through it with patience and a can-do, fun, and positive attitude! Trust us, you’ll have a ton of fun, as your photographer Danny is super positive and funny—at least, most of the time!

After working with him, many opportunities arose for me and I am very thankful for that. To say the least, Danny was able to capture me at my best. He is very professional and I can tell he loves what he does. Danny is welcoming, funny and makes you feel extremely comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Thanks Danny!”
