I’m a Los Angeles based portrait and headshot photographer.
When I was acting, I worked as an agent’s assistant and later as the assistant for casting directors and talent mangers. Being responsible for going through hundreds of headshots a week, as well as submitting photos for projects, I learned the key elements that make industry professionals flip over your photo or click on your thumbnail to look at a performers resume.
Capturing moments that open the doors is what drives me. Allowing individuals to be their authentic selves as I capture those visuals is what I’m passionate about. It’s about displaying the emotional depth of your truth in a image that grants you access to your professional dreams.
My experience with Ken Cosby was fantastic. So good, the moment my theatrical agent used one of his pictures on a Guest Star submission, not only did it get me the audition – I booked the gig. He was so open to the shot list I sent him and replied with ideas to tighten up the concepts. We did a walkthrough of the locations he scouted which produced a great plan for our shoot day. On the day we just played. He was easy on his direction to make the angles pop. We did not overshoot on any one look, which I prefer.
Also, you just feel like he loves shooting you, which builds confidence. And confidence is everything in getting great headshots. So obviously Ken is an easy decision if you want looks that pop. I will say, come with strong concepts, he will make them better.

Shooting with Ken was so much fun! I felt truly safe with his direction. I also felt like he was very collaborative and shared his thought process with me.
I would recommend Ken to any of my actor friends! It was such a fun shoot. I would shoot with him again in a heartbeat. I feel like the pictures look like me and convey a sense of what I can bring to a production.
You won’t regret your session with Ken!

My time with Ken behind the lens is very much responsible for the success I am having now. I needed new head shots very badly and I couldn’t find the right person until I met Ken. He put me at ease and the photo session was friendly, easy-going, and very professional. The shots he got of me, I can honestly say, I’ve never looked better. I’m growing out a beard just so I can take more head shots with him.
