Natural, expressive, confident portraits revealing people at their best. Studio J is all about headshots. It's all I do. The emphasis is on producing photos that portray your authentic character and personality. By focusing all of my efforts, creativity and energy on headshots, you get more experience, more expertise and talent and a better result!
I use magazine cover commercial-style lighting that erases years of texture and focuses the viewer's attention on you and your personality; not on the drama of the photo. When I create a striking portrait, I want the viewer to say, "what a remarkable person!"; not, "what a cool photo!" Individual portraits are my thing.

Sessions are relaxed and fun. You won't be rushed. This is very important: my approach is focused on helping you feel comfortable in front of my camera. When you are just being yourself, we will capture headshots that convey some of your personality. It takes more effort, time and talent - on your part and mine - to bring out natural, expressive, real portraits of you.
It's the first item of interest in your profile. Studio J Photography is the headshot specialist in the Simcoe - Port Dover region. Improving my clients' LinkedIn presence is the #1 reason people choose me to produce their professional profile photos. The impression your headshot makes is a key element in your personal brand - and a signal to others that you understand the importance of branding.
When I ask my executive clients what they want to convey in their corporate headshot, the first word that comes to them is leadership. What qualities convey leadership in a headshot? People skills (some sense of how you relate to your colleagues, your fellow directors and your team). A real expression of your character.
Think of what makes you great at what you do. If you've already worked out your Unique Value Proposition or your Unique Selling Point or your Elevator Pitch or your Personal Branding. Here is the real purpose of having your profile photo out there - to support your personal brand. Your photo should communicate the same messages and the same strengths.
Several prominent directors and casting agents have repeated the following advice when it comes to actor headshots:. Show that you take your acting career seriously enough to produce a strong, effective headshot. Great lighting and camera technique (they have specific preferences here - more on that later) will help.

I am so happy with my photos from Studio J Photography. Jay was great to work with - he made me feel comfortable when taking the photos and they look natural and authentic. The photos turned out better than I could have imagined and the turn around time to get the photos was quick. Highly recommend!

Nervous when I first walked in the door, but Jay took the time to make me at ease. Professional right from the get go, but with no pressure. Jay was patient and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I just got back from screening my shots, and I'm very impressed with the high caliber of the headshots.
Overall, definitely satisfied with the experience and will be going back to him for future work.
Thank you, Jay!
