Mike is a fantastic photographer! Professional, fun, and welcoming. I've came back to him several times for headshots and will continue to do so. Just recently did a portrait shoot with him too and was so happy going through the photos.

Vanessa Esperanza
Mike is the BEST! I was never rushed, even with 6 changes including makeup. He's funny and makes you feel really comfortable. He also knows how to talk to actors, getting you into the character you want to shoot, and he has killer playlists. I will definitely be back!
Nowadays, social media is a high factor in our careers. What does your headshot say about you?
CHICAGO HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHER
What should I wear? What should I do? How should I look? What are casting directors looking for? I want a headshot that shows my personality. I want a headshot that matches the roles I want to be casted in.
These are the frequently questions and concerns Mike gets. He knows it can feel awkward standing in front of a camera especially if you don't think you're photogenic. Mike makes his main focus on making you feel comfortable and confident in yourself while making you look professional and approachable.
So even though it can feel weird being photographed Mike encourages everyone to invest in themselves by letting go of those fears and doubts and to allow yourself to feel awkward. That's when Mike gets those shots that his clients walk away with loving.
