ABOUT ME LEARN MORE Ben is the best! I have always hated getting headshots because I never felt they actually looked like me. Ben totally nailed it! I LOVE my new headshots and get so many compliments on them! Chloe C. - San Francisco, CA CHLOE I've had the pleasure of working with Ben Krantz Studios several times. He's taken headshots and couple shots of me and my husband, and he's shot several theatrical events that I've been a part of. One of the loveliest things about Ben is how much he puts you at ease. His interpersonal style is strong but so congenial and warm that he brings out the best aspects of his clients without resorting to cheesy jokes and gimmicks.  I can't say enough excellent things about him, the care he takes with his work, and the great skill he brings to it. DC S. - Oakland, CA DC & PETER Ben is amazing! He was very accommodating especially when I couldn't find his place and was running a bit late. Probably the most relaxed photo shoot I ever had and all thanks to the positive energy and vibe he gave! My headshots turned out great. I will definitely ask him to do them again in the future! Steven M. - San Francisco, CA STEVEN REVIEWS I start almost every photo session by sitting down and discussing what you want from your headshots. I also ask, what are your professional goals and what parts of you and your personality do you want people to see when they see your headshots. Then during the shoot, I like to talk about anything other than the photo shoot. I don't want pictures of you thinking about smiling, but rather thinking about things that make you smile. I think a headshot can be so much more than just an attractive, flattering picture, but also a photo that shows who we are and even who we can be. THE STYLE & APPROACH LEARN MORE I photograph most headshots outdoors, in the neighborhood around my studio. My studio is located in Oakland's historic Jack London Square Warehouse District. It's an area with a cornucopia of background options. In this urban environment there are countless textures of glass, concrete, brick, trees, and metal, found among the backdrops of modern buildings, industrial open spaces, train stations, small shops, local restaurants, landscaped walls, bustling streets, Victorian buildings, and so much more. HEADSHOTS IN OAKLAND The San Francisco Bay Area has so many fantastic backgrounds and environments that make for captivating photos and headshots. When photographing on location, I search out textures that compliment your office culture, design, website, and brand. I can often find a unique background right inside your office building that offers a distinct style, but that won’t distract from the headshot. But whether you’re looking for the downtown vibe of San Francisco’s Financial District, the startup feel of Palo Alto, or the hip neighborhood flavor of the East Bay, I can find a great background. ON LOCATION IN THE BAY AREA In this global economy, companies with multiple locations spend a significant amount of time and energy tying their offices and brand together. Having one photographer take the headshots and "At Work" photos at your different locations makes your brand much more connected. This gives a cohesiveness to the look and voice of your organization. This uniformity can be accomplished in a variety of ways. One option is to have each office pick their unique environment in which to shoot their headshots. Alternatively, you can choose a studio backdrop to use at each office location for uniformity company-wide. Most importantly, you want to stand out from the competition. Ensuring your brand is visually represented in a thoughtful, well put together way is a vital component of achieving this result. SHOOTING ACROSS THE COUNTRY SEND MESSAGE HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT ME?
