Message From the Photographer
Every individual is inherently photogenic under the right lighting and guidance. Drawing on my background in science, engineering, and the study of human expression—together with over three decades of studio photography experience—I craft exceptional portraits and headshots. By skillfully balancing light, color, and shadow, I coach my subjects to reveal authentic, effortless expressions that project authority, confidence, competence, and approachability, all tailored to the image’s specific purpose. The end result is a headshot that captures each person at their most genuine and impressive, leaving a memorable, lasting impact.

Reviews
“DJ, you have a gift...a series of gifts, actually, that allows you to produce such fine work. You have a deep technical understanding of your craft. You listen to understand. You employ humorous patter to help everyone relax into the process. You have a practiced eye that only comes with years of experience. At the end of the day, five individuals walked away with wonderful images. Thank you so much for making this shoot such a pleasurable experience.”
“I really appreciated my Executive Lens session with DJ. I signed up because looking at the pictures on his site, I was taken with the striking beauty and power in each one. I was a little nervous going in and he guided me in very detailed ways that helped me get the hang of it quickly and I was comfortable in front of the camera. My ease came in part as DJ is easy to talk to and seemingly low key while he’s managing a lot of detail. The images came out so natural. Only a seasoned professional and artist can do what DJ does. Thank you and I wish you the best in serving many others who for whatever reason need to show themselves to the world.”
