“Describe the experience.”

Berkeley Portrait Studio offers a high-spirited take on personal and career portraiture.

Our style is influenced by 20th-century fashion photographers (Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Martin Schoeller) blended with sartorial qualities popularized on Flickr and Instagram.

Most of all, we think getting your picture taken should be fun, engaging, and personalized.

“Who are your typical customers?”

Most of our clients are seeking an improved image for career purposes.

We’ve worked with post-docs, lawyers, business owners, realtors/brokers, grad students, entrepreneurs, start-ups, remote workers, and large companies with a presence in the SF Bay Area.

Generally speaking our speciality involves the use of color and “bokeh” (out of focus areas) in portraits and headshots.
