I was worried that the photographer wouldn't agree with my recommendations of how the photos should look. Matt was a pleasure to communicate with and it was easy to talk to him about what we wanted for our headshots He made many brilliant suggestions which we used in the final photos. professional, friendly, communicative and flexible - plus he worked quickly without sacrificing quality. We love the way our photos came out - the background, lighting, facial expressions.
These are exactly the photos we wanted when we set out to find a photographer.

Matt unselfishly and helpfully gave me much free advice and tips of the trade which actually lead to hiring him -- best decision I made! Incredibly kind, generous with his time and talented with a camera and in directing the photographee (me), I'm thrilled with the end product and can't recommend Matt Stokes more if I took an ad out in Times Square!

He came on site prepared with all of the equipment to set up and our team had an amazing experience working with him throughout the day!"

"Matt kept circling on the solution, tweaking the lighting, adjusting the pose, and cueing different expressions. He is well organized, and his process is smooth from the prep for the session all the way through to his video on how to distill down to your top selects, and chose the final for retouching. I was an art director in my first career, and I really enjoyed remembering what it's like to work with great photographers, and what it takes to nail it. Thank you Matt!"
Minton
"I loved how we sat together before we began taking pictures. It was great for both of us in the sense of getting to know one another. Matt asked very engaging and relevant questions that really informed him of both what characters I am looking to shoot, but also about my personality. The work was excellent and the three shots have landed many auditions for me and two bookings thus far."

We were cautious when using photographers having had problems in the past with coordination, lighting, professionalism, etc. Matt eased any apprehensiveness our team had. Our staff raved about their experience with Matt; they all felt very comfortable in their sessions and it definitely shows in the photos/product.
