ERAS Headshots Palo Alto

I know how hard it can be to be photographed.

It’s hard to be yourself in front of the camera. When faced with the bright lights and that big lens, even experienced actors have a hard time letting their authentic selves show.

I’ll use my compassion, patience and good humor to help you look sharp, calm, and confident in your ERAS headshots.

There are no restrictions on taking ERAS-specific shots exclusively. We can shoot portraits, social media profile pictures, and dating profile images.

Bring along a range of attire, such as scrubs, white coats, stethoscopes, business casual clothing, and props relevant to your specialty.

“I love my headshots and highly recommend Dean. Instead of taking a high volume of random shots, Dean takes limited number of moments and makes them count. The vibe during the photoshoot was very good.”

-D.G.

Being photographed well is a skill.
