Your resume shares your experience.

Your portfolio shares what you can do.

Your headshot makes an emotional connection.

You're trying to get someone to give you a chance

A recruiter, a lead, a casting director; a date. They're going to decide if you're worth their time before you open your mouth. And that sucks.

I can't hire you, cast you, or swipe right. I truly wish I could.

What I can do is make sure they see you. Not the cropped selfie you took in the lobby on your first day. Your ambition deserves better.

You don't have to practice your smile or know your angles. I got you. I've done this a lot. Everything you're nervous about is a problem I've already solved. You show up. You laugh at my jokes. A week later you look your best in front of important stangers.

What you say to them… that's up to you.

But landing on their radar? I got you.

Hi, I'm Adam

I've been making headshots for 11 years. I moved to Oakland so my son and I can hang. Every month or so I find a new reason to thank all my exes for breaking my heart.

More about me →

Adam put me at ease in a way that felt very unique. Before I knew it he had captured a set of images that were completely different from anything I've ever had done before. They feel like me—unique, on brand, and full of character.
