My headshots with Dima are, by far, my most complimented photos ever. They are my go-to across my professional profiles. The only thing better than the headshots themselves was working with Dima as he takes them. Throughout the entire process, he was patient, thoughtful, and involved me in the creative process, helping me understand things like how adjusting my neck in a particular way will impact the outcome. I highly recommend getting headshots with Dima.

I recently had professional headshots taken by Dima, and it was really excellent! From start to finish, Dima was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. I wasn’t sure what to do and he immediately put me at ease in front of the camera and gave extremely clear guidance throughout the shoot, including the muscle mechanics of how to smile naturally. He’s got great attention to detail, a strong eye for composition, and I had more difficulty picking a favorite shot than anything else. Highly recommend if you’re looking for high-quality headshots — an absolute pleasure to work with and worth every penny.

Dima is the ideal photographer to partner with to help bring a concept to life. He took the time to understand my personal needs, was a wonderful creative thought partner to brainstorm on different options, and followed through with excellent shots and editing. His Portrait Posing Guidelines are a super valuable collection of tips — how to hold your smile, your gaze, ways to improve your posture and position your arms — aspects of photography I never considered. They made me feel comfortable and prepared when I showed up for my photoshoot.

I had a fantastic experience getting my headshots done with Dima! He made me feel incredibly comfortable throughout the session and gave great tips on posing and lighting to reduce unflattering shadows. I was so pleased with my final results, and would not hesitate to use Dima’s photography services in the future.

Dima has taken two series of headshots for me and I will only let him do my headshots from now on. He is very good at shooting people with my complexion. He has the eye and the technical know-how to create great photography. I highly recommend Dima for your next headshot or photographic needs.
