Hidden gems! The plain exterior of the studio masks the delightful interior and professionalism and talent of the artistic crew. Matthew Hamilton provided not just best portraits of me and my colleagues that we have ever had, but also shockingly engaging experiences. He is a master of composition and technique, and - most elusive - of bringing out our best inner light. You'll never look so good or have so much fun in front of the camera as in a session with Mr. Hamilton.

Matt's professionalism is top-notch! A professional from the beginning to the very end. Matt works with your personality and preferences every step of the way. A great professional find. He is what you are looking for in professional headshot photography. I would HIGHLY recommend Matt's photography services.

I had a perfect experience with MHamilton Visuals. Matthew is an outstanding photographer. I truly despise having my photo taken. He made the experience fun. The time flew by. Most importantly, I was incredibly pleased with the end product. He gave me the time to talk through what I liked and didn’t like and I walked away filled satisfied. Turn around from photo shoot to delivery was fast and online scheduling was a breeze. Highly recommend.

I had a great headshot experience with Matthew. He is pretty funny, so you don't need to worry about awkward smiles. The images turn out to be excellent and professional for my LinkedIn and business school use. Highly recommended.

Questions & Answers

What makes a good headshot?

I believe a good headshot is simple but still shows the subjects personality. For a headshot the sole focus should be on you. To further the simple mindset, any little thing that is out of place in your photo can be distracting. This could be hair that is out of place, a wrinkled shirt, an uneven piece of jewelry, or an un orderly tie. Even beyond those things, a persons expression is the most important. If you don’t look confident and friendly in your photo, it can be a huge dealbreaker. You need to look competent, together, and interesting to have a winning headshot.

Having a professional headshot that represents you is more important than ever in this day and age. It is so easy to google people and see all types of things people are up to. It is your responsibility to have a clean professional photo to represent you, as social media becomes more and more prevalent. Your headshot acts as a first impression in many cases. It is up to your headshot to make that first impression a positive one.

How long does retouching take?

It is totally up to you how many photos you choose at the end of the shoot for retouching. Retouching is where all of that Photoshop magic that you hear about, comes into play. I don’t go crazy with my retouching because we want your new professional headshots to still look like you. Just you on your best day! Don’t worry about any acne, blemishes, or anything of the sort, that will all be taken care of in the retouching process. At the end of the shoot we will talk about retouching and what that may look like in your specific shots.

Can I see the images throughout the shoot?

Of course! I take periodic breaks throughout the session that allow us to go through the photos on a big computer monitor. This is a great time for us to go through the photos and see what we may want to change or adjust.

What forms of payment do you accept?

If you are in the Philadelphia area and would like me to come to your office/location feel free to contact me for a custom quote. These sessions are scheduled in 15 minute intervals and are a great way for business’ to get a consistent and clean look throughout their headshots.

What if I hate having my photo taken?

Most people hate having their photo taken because they think they are not “photogenic”. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is capable of looking great in their photos. It is my job to loosen you up in front of the camera and get you looking your best. We will get some amazing photos throughout the shoot!

What do I bring to my headshot session?

MHamiltonVisuals | Sep 13, 2020

I want you to bring multiple top options to choose from during your headshot session. We will go through all of the options you brought and talk about how the different looks will change peoples perception of you. It is good to have options throughout the shoot in case we do not like how one option is showing on camera.
