Thank you Ryuji!
I was in need of a new headshot for my web page which for me is very important as that is how people identify with me. The one I had was sorely lacking. I had asked friends, got some names, checked out their sites but didn't see the type of headshot that appealed to me. For literary months I searched the web checking out countless photographers. Not many specialize in headshots and what was left was either lacking or just plain no. Then to my delight the universe stepped in and I found Beaupix.
I was amazed to see all the different headshots. I had stumbled upon what I feel was a godsend. Then it got even better when I started reading that I would be able to get professional makeup and hair done right at Beaupix prior to the shoot. No trying to coordinate with multiple people or having to run around was a definite plus for me. And getting the right makeup makes all the difference. The best part, Ryuji handled everything!
The shoot was amazing. Ryuji helped me every step of the way. From picking out outfits, to making sure my hair and makeup were just right and finally to taking the time to get the right shot. It's not about just taking a picture with him; it's about what you want to say. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and Ryuji defiantly gets that.
He works with you to understand what it is you want to portray and takes the time to do it. He's no diva. He's professional, down to earth, and just a wonderful human being helping you through the process. It was more than I expected and it was a fabulous experience.
The finished product...excellent. I am delighted with my photos and can honestly say I will have more done by him in the future.
If you are looking for a true professional to capture what it is you want to say with a look, Ryuji is the photographer for you.

Add-on options
Magazine-quality retouching is very common for a publicity photo, as it can significantly improve your impression. It removes temporary skin blemishes, lightening under eye circles and wrinkles. The price starts at 60/image. We usually perform retouching while you watch, a very detailed work that you won’t get bored watching. Since BEAUPIX does a lot of demanding fashion and beauty photography with in-house retouching, we have the level of skills that very few headshot photographers have. If you are particularly conscious about your facial features, a heavier retouching, such as facial contour correction (e.g., slimming face or fixing double chin) is also available.
For female professionals, good natural look makeup is essential. If you are comfortable doing makeup yourself, it is usually sufficient, but otherwise, the studio can arrange an experienced makeup artist for your session at an additional cost, starting at 150.
It is possible to take your headshot in the studio, and swap the backdrop with another picture, for example, a scenic image. There are pros and cons of this approach, so if you think this is your route, please make sure to discuss this option with the photographer in advance.
