Amazing, excellent work! Yesterday, Jeff photographed my two sons ages 9 and 11 for their headshots. Jeff was completed prepared when we arrived and we felt like we had all of his attention. We did three changes of clothes and he helped us pick the clothes and find the right looks. Jeff used several backdrops for the shoot which made each final photo look totally different from each other. I’m very impressed and pleasantly surprised with his work as it exceeded all of my expectations. We will definitely come back to Jeff when we need to update the headshots. Highly recommend!!!

Thanks Jeff for the awesome pics, very professional and easy to work with. Highly recommended! Elbert

Had headshots taken today by Jeff. What a great experience. Although I was nervous he put me at ease. I was very happy with the work he did and would recommend J Alan Photography without reservation.

Excellent Shoot. Love My New Headshots and sending them out. Great service as well. You get great personal attention and photos. Will be going back when I need updated photos!!!

I had a great experience! He gave very helpful tips before and during the shoot. He also was very interested in making sure I got exactly what I wanted, even if it meant moving from indoors to outdoors. He sat down in increments showing me the pictures he took, making sure I was satisfied, before moving on to the next look. All of this great service for an awesome price! PLUS he sent a follow up email with picture options with some touchups!
Overall I had an extremely great experience and recommend others to use JAlan!

Jeff’s wonderful prices made me skeptical at first. I second guessed myself up to the shoot day on if I was making the right decision. In an area where prices are always over inflated, I thought Jeff’s prices were just too good to be true. I can honestly say that there is no need to look any further for a fantastic headshot photographer. Jeff was so knowledgeable throughout the shoot. He was eager to answer any questions, and helped my son make the best wardrobe selections. Jeff didn’t rush the shoot and made sure to get a lot of great shots. Jeff was so easy to work with and such a polite person (I love good customer service — it’s often hard to find these days). The best part — my son’s headshots turned out fantastic! I could not be more pleased with the end result. I would highly recommend J Alan Photography!

My girlfriend and I shot with j alan photography and were thoroughly impressed. We took some headshots/​Christmas photos and we were quite pleased. Great photographer! Excellent prices and very professional. We left with a cd of all our pics of the shoot and he retouches the favorite ones for free. We highly recommend him!

Jeff Alan is by far the best photographer I’ve had since I’ve lived in L.A. He takes his time. He listens to what you want to get out of the session. He gives you encouragement and tips that make your entire experience painless! He takes care of his clients by going thru the pics with you to determine the right look if you aren’t too sure. He answers his email all the time and never leaves you hanging. If your agent tells you they don’t like what choices you picked, Jeff will retouch other selections for you so that your agent (and you as client) are satisfied. A true photographer… and I wish there were more like him in the business!

Jeff was great-​He took photos of my 7 month old and was able to capture exactly what we wanted at a fair price. We would definitely use him again in the future.

The Cons: It’s inexpensive. (You read it right.). Sometimes we feel like the more we pay for something the better it is. In the past I’ve paid over $ 1,000 for a headshot session and minor retouching. Then when I saw J Alan’s prices I thought this is going to be just ok. Well, I was impressed and — more importantly — casting directors called me in. My agents love submitting his shots so I stopped going anywhere else. Bottom line: Don’t break the bank for shots when you don’t have to. This guy is solid and his work gets me work.
So you can probably guess the next list is pretty long. (I’ve probably booked 4 – 6 sessions with J Alan so far) so…
The Pros:
1. He asks the right questions. Headshots aren’t about looking at the camera and smiling. You need a photographer who helps you elicit some emotion that comes across in the shot. J Alan will ask the right questions to get the shots you need.
2. Does indoor and outdoor lighting.
3. Images are VERY QUICK. I often get mine the same day.
4. All around nice laid back guy who LOVES what he does. I’ve had some snobs who acted like they were doing me a favor. None of that pretentiousness here.
5. Price. Best pricing I’ve ever been quoted.

I came across J Alan Photography from LA Casting’s website. I loved his work and saw that he had some really great deals/​prices. I immediately contacted Jeff and set up a photo shoot just a few days later. Jeff did such an amazing job with my headshots. He gives great direction and definitely knows how to capture personality. I can see that he brought out the best in me. My photo session with him was worth every penny. After shooting each look, he showed me the pictures to make sure I was happy with them. He’s personable and very easy to work with. I got a cd with all of my photos right after the shoot, which was awesome. I sent him a few photos to be retouched and he got them done for me right away. Included in his retouches, he sent me a photo with a border and my name on it. Overall he’s great and I will definitely use him for future shoots and recommend him to friends!

I needed new Headshots done so for my latest photo shoot I went with J Alan Photography. To be honest, I knew nothing about him prior to shooting with him but I checked out his website and I saw some of his previous work and also the prices were so cheap I decided to give it a shot. I’m probably not the easiest to work with since I don’t like photo shoots but as an Actor it’s something that needs to be done. He gave good direction & made everything easy on me. I also received a cd of the whole photoshoot right after we finished shooting which was great. All in all I was very satisfied with the results of my pics & will be definitely be using him again from here on out.
