It's refreshing to find someone as easy to work with as Ryuji. I stumbled upon his website while browsing for a local photographer for headshots and I was not disappointed. I gave him a call and was able to set up an appointment with him within minutes, and he even followed up with me before the shoot to ask if I had any questions before coming in.
It's clear that Ryuji takes pride in what he does and he is extremely open to feedback and tailoring the shoot to meet the specific needs of his clients. He is laid back and accommodating which is great for those who are a bit camera shy. Also, his work space is located in Fort Point which provides some great Boston scenery a short walk away if you are looking for outdoor photos.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for professional and polished headshots as well as more fun, personalized pictures. Thank you Ryuji!
Musician Portraits
Portraits for your musician/DJ promo, press & cover artwork.
Publicity photography for musicians is an instant visual representation of your music and performance. A powerful image can push your brand image higher and capture more fans.
One challenge of music photo is the vast range of creative styles that can be used. You probably want to do some research. If you retain BEAUPIX, the photographer will be happy to help you with the practical advice, so that your creative ambition, budget, and feasibility are in check.
Pricing
If you are an individual musician looking for a publicity headshot, and other creative type or media oriented headshot, the photography fee is usually 600–2000 range. The cost typically increases with the complexity of the work, so it is helpful if you send adequate information (style, sample images, inspiration board, etc.) when inquiring. Booking a shoot requires advance payment.

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.
