Best Commercial Photographer Berkeley Near Me

4worldlovers: HEADSHOT, PRODUCT & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER – SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. San Francisco Bay Area-based professional portrait photographer specializing in creative and unique portraits and headshots. My goal is to provide a relaxed, fun, and professional environment where the resulting portraits from our photoshoot will bring out the very best in you! I shoot with both studio strobes and/or natural lighting, where portraits can be taken either in my Berkeley studio, or on-location anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, Marin, Santa Clara, and all cities and areas in-between. My objective is always to get the shots my clients want, and create truly one-of-a-kind stunning photos that will last a lifetime.

My photography services include creative portraits, beauty headshots, modeling headshots, professional/corporate headshots, online dating profile portrait photography (for Tinder, Hinge, OKCupid, Bumble, Coffee Meets Bagel, The League, Happn, Match.com, Clover, eHarmony, Plenty of Fish, etc.,) high school senior portraits, musician photography, actor headshots, modeling lookbook images, modeling digitals or “polaroids”, personal branding portraits, personalized social media headshots or portraits for Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, yoga & fitness photography, lifestyle portrait photography, and much more. Please see the portfolio links for the variety of portrait styles to choose from.

Natural light portraits can often yield a familiar realism to portraiture. These are often taken in a setting that can set the mood of the shot, such as an urban portrait, portrait in nature, and so on. Natural light photography allows subjects to not be confined indoors, freeing up the portrait to be taken in multiple locations. I enjoy using natural light in portraits, along with the option of strobes or modifiers to capture the absolute best natural light portraits possible.

In-Studio portraits don’t have to be boring or basic. As you can see from my portfolio, professional in-studio portraits can be dramatic, fun, playful, or meet any specific objective you may have. These are often corporate headshots, modeling headshots for a lookbook, in-studio portraits for social media profiles and so on.

My goal is to give you the best headshot you’ve ever had taken. For the San Francisco or Silicon Valley corporate client, this will be a professional image that embodies your profession and/or individuality. If you’re a Bay Area model or actor, this image will be your calling card. Your professional headshot will be your leading image, so it’s important that it meets all of the objectives we will discuss before our shoot.

Many of my portraits come of clients who want something spectacular which looks like it was taken from a fashion magazine. I often embrace creative portraits as both an artistic challenge and a mission to give my clients images they have never seen themselves in before. From softer ringlight beauty headshots, or the vivid hypercolor portraits that use colored gels, I enjoy thinking out of the box when taking creative portraits, and welcome clients who have a more artistic vision.

These days, the competition can be tough with online dating apps. Thus, it’s important to have some professional images of yourself that help you stand out from the crowd. So whether you’re using Tinder, Hinge, OKCupid, Bumble, The League, Coffee Meets Bagel, Match.com, eHarmony, Clover, Plenty of Fish, etc., that first impression you make with your profile picture should ideally bring out the best in you. I offer custom photoshoots that can be centered around your hobbies or interests, where we can get both wonderful portraits, and lifestyle images that bring out your individuality and best portrait images possible.

For businesses, group and team corporate headshots are often needed for web sites, online staff directories, or for various marketing purposes. These images need to be both professional and authentic to accurately reflect your business. Thus, each group corporate shoot is customized to reflect the needs of your business. Would you like in-studio headshots with a dark gray background? Maybe your company would prefer a pure white background, or a solid black background? Or how about a splash of color with a red, blue, or green background? Or perhaps your business would like outdoor natural-light headshots which are not in-studio, and have an upscale urban backdrop? No problem. Each shoot is custom to the needs of your business. My objective is to always create beautiful, professional images that meet the marking objectives of your business. This means the shoot can take place inside my Berkeley studio, or outdoors on-location for a look where the background environment can be virtually endless.
