What is the process?

Feel Comfortable

I take real pride in creating an enjoyable environment to take images in. Don’t take my word for it, check my Google reviews and see what my past clients have to say.

Look Amazing

You’re going to look killer.

Enjoy your photos

Good images of yourself lead to incredible boosts in self confidence and self esteem. A great headshot can help land you that dream job you’re pursuing. The images I create are useful and will bring joy into your life.

No one deserves to feel powerless in front of the camera.

I understand that awkward camera-in-your-face feeling, so I’m going to guide you the whole way to make sure you look and feel your absolute best.

I’m Alex Torres. 

Standing 6’4” and rocking a long beard, I might look tough but I’m a gentle giant. My love of photography has its roots in my mother shooting her Minolta film camera on all our family outings. I didn’t pick up a camera until my mid twenties, but ever since I was a kid, I knew there was a real joy that could be created with a camera.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve honed a set of skills to use light to create eye catching portraits for hundreds of people. From headshots to family portraits, my ambition is to tell your story in single images. Whether it is in a studio or on location, we can work together to produce meaningful images which you’ll enjoy for years.
