“I'm a Nashville guitar player who came to Cleveland to get some new photos. Capture Style did amazing job of creating a great natural outdoor setting (in the heart of the Cleveland flats) as well as providing many options with their indoor studio with regard to backdrops and lighting. I highly recommend Capture Style to anyone seeking a unique approach to their photo needs.”

“Working with Howard is an adventure, I look forward to our sessions. He is brilliantly inventive with the locations he brings his subjects to, the lighting, and also in the way he communicates, leading his subjects through the shoot in an engaged manner where it's never boring and always alive. It's a collaboration, which is exactly what a photo shoot ought to be. Howard's process is similar to working on a film and the results of his process, the finished photographs, have depth, they tell stories and, most importantly, they present his subjects in an authentic way, far beyond conventional headshots and more like portraits.”

  • Absolutely!!The best thing to do is bring a couple of options. Since we don’t have a time limit for your session, we suggest that you bring something that makes YOU feel good. I, you only need to bring along shirts/ties/sport coatand blouses, unless you want to do three-quarter length shot. We like for you to have multiple looks, so make sure you have a nice range of clothing with you. We want you to feel good. There are a lot of things that can work, but my clients tend to shoot with greater success when they are wearing clothing they feel great in. Wear attire that reflects you and your personality. Thats the whole point of your pictures!! We are more than happy to do a zoom consult with you. Certain colors bring out certain emotions!

  • Because humans see the world horizontally, We prefer to shoot horizontally. Additionally, a horizontal frame allows you to get some space, so your headshot won't appear compressed or confined between the narrow walls of a vertical crop. The horizontal look is more contemporary and is a widely accepted format.

  • This is a question frequently asked. In a headshot, the most important information comes from your expression. We like to have you keep your clothing info around your shoulders and chest for you to feel your identity, too. If your eyes are above the center line, it makes for a more impactful image. As the frame adjusts to accommodate these features, the top of the head gets cropped. As long as the viewer gets a sense of your hairstyle, they can imagine your rest. They will still think you still have your entire head !!

  • Of course! We shoot what is called tethered (the camera is hooked uped to the computer) so you are able to see the pictures as we shoot them. This also allows me to help coach and instruct you with your facila expression. We can see what works well and what doesn’t. Plus we look at the pictures at the end of the session.

  • Once we are done, I send you a private link to all the pictures we took during the session. This gives you time to pick your best images. If you need any guidance at what you should pick, we are more than happy to help you. Once you decide, we send your pictures out to be professionally retouched.

  • For most men, it usually not needed . If you are worried about blemishes or scars, you can hire a make up person or we can fix it in post production. For most woman, depending on what your goal is, we leave the decision up to you. If you are doing a portrait session, we do recommend that you. We work with an amazing make up artist.

  • I ask that everyone come with their hair done as if they were presenting themselves to a casting director for an audition. Your headshot should match the way you appear in person regularly. You should be able to recreate your hair style like you do everyday.. Our makeup artist can do hair, but that is up to you if you want to hire them for that.

  • A professional headshot is a personal, professional, and branding tool. Your picture is your first impression to a possible employer, casting director, your clients and patients. Even a potential significant other!!
