How remote headshots work for Los Angeles professionals
It's a real, directed photo session — just not in a studio. You pick the look and background, join a video session at your booked time, and a professional directs your session live: where to sit for the best light, camera height, posture, expression. You use the phone or laptop you already own and natural light — no app, no gear, no rental. Polished, web-ready finals arrive within two business days of your selection. It works for one person (individual remote headshots) or a whole distributed team (remote team headshots).

Sectors we photograph in Los Angeles
Company names below identify Los Angeles' business districts — they are not a client list.
LA's professional map is enormous: Silicon Beach's 279,000 tech workers (the #3 startup hub globally — Snap, TikTok, Netflix, Amazon Studios), the business side of entertainment with half a million jobs, an AI scene pulling in $1.8B a quarter, and SpaceX-anchored aerospace. It's also sixty miles wide. Getting a team from Santa Monica, Burbank and DTLA into one studio is a logistics project; a remote session photographs all of them at their desks — one standard, zero freeway time.
A real photo — not an AI headshot
A remote headshot is still a photograph of you — your real face and expression — captured by a person, not generated by a model. Recruiters and clients increasingly distrust AI headshots once they spot them. Here's why a real photo beats an AI headshot. Serving Los Angeles remotely — and every city we serve.
Common questions
Los Angeles headshots: FAQ
How much do professional headshots cost in Los Angeles?
LA sessions run $200–$800 (corporate up to $1,500, plus $100–$500 travel for on-location). Remote Headshots is $180 per person, directed live by a real photographer.
How does a remote headshot actually work?
You book a time, join a video session, and a photographer directs your lighting, camera height, posture, and expression live. Retouched, web-ready finals arrive within two business days of your selection — using your own phone or laptop and natural light.
Is a remote headshot as good as an LA studio session?
Yes — a real photographer controls light, framing, and expression, just over video. A genuine photo of you, not a generated image, at a fraction of LA studio pricing.
So I don't drive across LA to a studio?
Correct — you shoot from your own office or home anywhere in the metro.
Our people are spread from Santa Monica to Burbank to Irvine. Does everyone drive to one studio?
Nobody drives anywhere. Each person joins a 25-to-45-minute live-directed session from their own office or home, and the finished set matches as if everyone visited the same studio on the same day.
What if my camera or lighting isn't great?
A modern phone is enough; the photographer positions you toward natural light and directs in real time.
