Beaupix Is used by my organization for professional photos and I was sent as a newly hired executive to do a professional headshot. From the first touch point with Ryuji, I knew he was a very reputable and accomplished Photographer. Even though this was a headshot, the pre-session coaching I received was thorough and addressed things I would not have thought needing attention just for a headshot. This really allowed me to prep thoroughly before my arrival When I arrived, in preparation for the session, I shared my strong discomfort at being photographed. I was also very concerned about being “over filtered” as I wanted my picture to be an accurate representation of myself, whether viewed through that photo or in person. During the session he very skillfully engaged me in multiple diverse and intelligent conversations around topics like foods, hobbies, favorite vacations, and economics. I relaxed and engaged in conversation naturally, laughing, smiling or at times, contemplative. He so strategically moved me into a place of relaxation, that it wasn’t until we were almost done that I realized he wasn’t just taking practice shots, but these were my official session photographs! His technique worked beautifully! I absolutely loved the one we settled on after going through multiple options. Ryuji Listened to my concerns and did an absolutely outstanding job in making the least amount of corrections to give me the best result. Once he’d completed edits, he toggled between the before and after iterations, and I was absolutely thrilled at the impact the very strategic minimal changes accomplished. This picture truly represents me in every way, and portrays me from the inside out. If you are a person who struggles with being photographed or fear of being “edited out of who you are”, give this studio, a call. You will be extremely satisfied with your entire experience as well as the photo you leave with! Ryuji, thank you for an excellent experience and superb photo! Charmaine
