Alan is not only a great photographer but he is also a great guy. He is warm, personable, professional, and of course, super talented. I felt very comfortable in his beautiful home during our shoot and loved hanging with Lulu and LePew (his sweet pups) in between shots. Quality photographers are surprisingly hard to come by in this town, but Alan is one. The proof is in his work.

Alan is a well seasoned and intuitive photographer. Our photo shoot was a true collaboration.
I was searching the internet for headshot photographers and the quality of light in Alan’s work is what captured me.
It’s rare to find people in any industry with the ability to exude a genuine character, a kind manner and a listening ear. With Alan, such attributes are met along with a rich history within his craft, a desire to know people, and his command of the camera. It was my first photo shoot for headshots and a memorable way to kick off my acting career with the proper resource.

What a great experience! I am new in the acting industry and I chose Alan to do my headshots. He definitely went above and beyond in terms of making me feel comfortable throughout the session which is very important. He put in a lot of effort to make sure he captured the best pictures and the pictures came out perfectly! When I need to get updated headshots Alan will definitely be who I choose again!

Alan Wiessman is hands down one of the best photographers in LA, his work is amazing and he is so passionate about photography and making sure that not only will your photos look beautiful but the best to where you have a greater chance of getting booked. His studio is so cool and the views are wow and he makes your feel right at home. I did a lot of research before I chose who I wanted to invest my money in and one of the reasons I chose alan because when I spoke with his assistance on the phone she was kind, honest, upfront, and went into details and if i needed her to repeat she was kindly and patient enough to do that, and your able to speak to him anytime for more info. When i went to get my head-​shots done his work and ora reminds you of why you love LA so much. Whatever you do if you want your photos to be perfect and still look beautiful like you are… go to Alan I swear you’ll be writing a 5 star review next!

I had the pleasure of working with the great Alan Weissman and his lovely assistant Madeline. Madeline helped make all the arrangements to accommodate my schedule and is quite possibly one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. When I arrived I was greeted by a magnificent home tucked away in the hills of Los Angeles. Alan’s use of his studio and home space for pictures is nothing short of brilliant. He created a relaxing environment that was easy to work in. His eye for detail and creating a natural look surpassed my expectations. I will definitely be returning anytime I need any photos of any kind taken. Do yourself a favor, get your picture taken here.

I have had close to two dozen professional photo shoots over the years, at much less than what I paid with A.W., and have always received what I paid for-​not the case here, and at double the cost; longevity does not equal quality. Save your money-don’t recommend.

ALAN WEISSMAN is THE BEST headshot photographer in the business. There were so many great shots, it was hard to narrow them down. For me, doing pix was like going to the dentist, but Alan made it so easy. He is professional, likable, fun, funny, has great prices, and works with a wonderful makeup artist. I promise you will love him & his terrific, incredibly helpful associate, Shoushan. FIVE out of FIVE STARS

I don’t understand why Unilocal is not recommending the majority of Alan’s reviews, and I’m actually a bit upset because he is literally THE BEST photographer I’ve ever worked with. Sure he’s accustomed to celebrity photography, but he treats all of his clients as if they are the most important thing to him and his pictures reflect that. I have booked numerous jobs when I first started out with only 2 of the shots that we took, and he gave me loads to choose from and helped me to pick my best look. I’ve tried others just to test the waters, but I’ve regretted it since. Alan Weissman is the best and there simply is no substitute for great quality, hard work, dedication, and a passion unlike any I have seen before. Thanks Alan! I only regret not writing this review sooner, and if Unilocal doesn’t feature this I’m contacting corporate because that’s absurd! You do phenomenal work and everyone should know. I look forward to booking with you again in the near future!

Alan was awesome! Did a fantastic job, never once did I feel tense or under pressure. I felt as if we had been friends for along time. Laughing and joking around. Talking to me about who I am. Actually trying to get to know me. Who cares about me? Normally it’s just about businesses get the best shot and move on your just a number. Not with Alan. He has a high passion and love for what he does. I couldn’t have wished for a better experience. Words don’t express the quality of his work. He captures the real you, from the inside. He is hands down one of the best in the industry. You can’t find too many people that have pride for what they do anymore. His staff as well are great. Very knowledgeable and helpful in every way. Thanks again for the great experience! I highly recommend Alan Weissman.

Best shots I have ever taken. He really got me, and the whole process was effortless. Alan knows how to put people at ease, and his enormous home studio space was beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing. The makeup artist I got through him was excellent as well. And great customer service! His assistant Shoushan deserves a shout-​out too.

I recommend Alan Weissman’s service to anyone who wants professional photos. I was looking for an established head-​shot photographer in L.A. on Unilocal and came across Alan Weissman’s site. I read a lot of good reviews and decided to call and inquire about rates. I spoke to Alan’s assistant Shoushan, who was very upbeat and talked to me about the whole process. I could instantly tell she loved her job.
I expected the rate to be high, but I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable the session was; since he is an established Photographer who has shot many celebrities. I went to Alan’s studio with my girlfriend, and both Shoushan and Alan treated us like they had known us for years.
As we were preparing to leave, Alan asked me to come back since the natural lighting was perfect before sunset. It is still one of my best photos. Not only is his service going above-​and-​beyond but he genuinely wants to do the best for others.

Alan is an amazing photographer who crafts you to perfection with light! I’ve seen the works of many around the world, yet no one beats the way Alan creates headshots. Have a look at his website and compare them to others, and you will see what I mean! Also, when Alan is shooting for you, he is patient and takes the necessary time (however long it may take) to capture your personality, your essence in the photograph. He takes no short cuts… he even experiments with new ideas if he suddenly thinks that might bring out a new, interesting side to you. A funny, intelligent person to work with, you will enjoy a day of taking your headshots, and will love the results Alan has created for you at the end of the day.
Lastly and maybe most importantly, you can suggest what you like, but also let Alan have room to create an individual style for you! He is very knowledgeable when it comes to what works for an actor’s headshot. I also recommend using the makeup artist from Alan’s studio as they gave me a peace of mind by staying there for the whole shoot (tidying my hair, makeup and outfit when they shift during the shoot).

I had a fantastic headshot session with Alan. This was my first time getting professional shots and I am happy with my final product. He took so much time to get the perfect lighting and made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera.
He also taught me which poses and angles accentuate my look which was extremely helpful. I highly recommend him!

I recently had the pleasure of working with the prestigious Alan Weismann, at the urging of my agent, for new headshots. Naturally, I was a little nervous, but that quickly faded! Not only was the ambience cozy and inviting, but Alan, himself, was so charismatic and funny that I quickly felt at home! When we started shooting, Alan asked me about myself, my hobbies, and really took great interest in getting to know ME. Not only was this shocking in itself, considering his very impressive clientele, but before I knew it we were done shooting. Turns out his philosophy, in taking a great headshot, is capturing the real you, raw and completely natural. And let me tell you something, the moments Alan caught on camera were absolutely breathtaking images, making the headshots incomparable in nature to any other photographer. I highly recommend Alan to anyone and absolutely everyone who needs a great headshot, portrait, or just a plain old excuse to have great photographs taken, GO SEE ALAN!

We haven’t received the actual photos yet, but we did see them on the computer. He made my daughter and I both feel very comfortable. He was kind and hospitable. The pictures he took of my daughter were hands down the best we have had in the past 5 years. If you are in need of getting new head shots, call him. He is competitively priced for a professional and the quality is up there with the most expensive!

Alan Weissman was the best choice I could have made for new headshots. Very professional. Alan was great fun to work with and he captured my personallity on the dot. I have had great responses from casting directors as well as booking 3 new jobs since the shoot a month ago. Can’t wait to work with him again!

Shot with Alan today at his studio and had an amazing experience. I came with my current headshots and he quickly told me that they were just fine. So we decided to go for something a little edgier with a bit more of a 40’s noir feel since there was no real need to replace the ones I have. Plus, I really wanted to try something that didn’t look like everything else out there anyway. The great thing about shooting with Alan is that he is a master of lighting. All I had to do was be me and the lighting added all the drama. He really takes a lot of time to get the setup right (I felt like I was back on set) and once he’s ready to go, we fired through a hundred shots in no time. Then, we went really experimental with the lighting and tried things he hadn’t done before. I didn’t have anything else lined up for the day so we spent half a day trying all kinds of different setups and throughout the whole thing had a really great time. I laughed a lot so in between the serious shots, were whole sets of fun shots that came out great. All in all, had a great time and since we were reviewing the pictures throughout the session, I knew what I was walking away with. It’s a huge relief knowing that you bagged some good shots early on and that enabled us to cut loose the rest of the time and go pushing the envelope. Fun Stuff!

Shooting with Alan was a great experience. Scheduling an appointment was easy to do with his assistant and when I arrived, they helped me carry my bags to the shoot.
The shoot wasn’t rushed; Alan and I sat down and reviewed the wardrobe changes and throughout the entire shoot, I felt very comfortable. Everything was so relaxed while we shot that I didn’t realize how many photos had been taken. Between wardrobe changes, we reviewed the photos and he made sure that I was satisfied before shooting the next look — he was very professional and provided his expertise during the shoot.
Alan is very professional, knowledgeable of what the industry looks for in photos for actors and models, and takes the time to make sure you have a great experience. He uses a top-​quality camera and does an exceptional job with the lighting.
I highly recommend Alan for the great job he does, his professionalism, and I found his pricing to be better than other photographers with his resume/​experience. STM

I’ve worked with Alan for since 1998 and he is great at what he does. He is talented, easy to work with, and always willing to go the extra mile. I would recommend him to anyone!
