My organization contracted John to provide complimentary headshots for attendees at our tradeshow. John was very communicative and easy to work with from the moment we contracted and in preparation for the event. Onsite at the event, John and his teammate Juan took great care of our attendees as well. John's big, fun personality helped put people at ease and he took special care to make sure that folks looked their best in their photos.

From my personal perspective, the headshots John took of me were the best I've had done in years. The event ended on a Wednesday and I was expecting to receive all the photos back from John the following week but he actually got them over to me on Thursday, the day after the event finished! Bottom line, I'm so very glad we found John and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a professional headshot photographer. It was a true pleasure working with him.

One of the best decisions I've ever made was hiring John to be BGE's photographer to take headshots for over 300 employees in 5 locations across Texas. John and his team made this huge effort go smoothly with the upmost professionalism and attention to detail. The end results were fabulous headshots that went above and beyond my expectations and that everyone loved.

He made sure the photos he took met my requirements by asking all the right questions. There was no stress or second-guessing my decision. John is a great photographer that I will definitely hire again. I'm looking forward to our next Texas tour!

I had stepped away from the professional speaking business for awhile, so I needed some new photos to reflect my current branding and look. I searched through almost 90 websites of Austin photographers and eliminated all but three. Most were the same dull, stock poses and backgrounds that don't tell you anything about the person in the picture. Of the three whose portfolios I liked, one was VERY expensive, one didn't reply to my query for more than two weeks.and one was John Langford. John was very prompt in responding, answered all my questions, and - most importantly - GOT what I was looking for.

We set up an appointment and it was fun and easy, not like my previous photo shoots. John has a great eye, makes good suggestions on poses and expressions, and I was super-thrilled with the results of our session. Everyone who's seen the pix has been impressed, because John truly captured my personality and sense of humor. These are the best promo shots I've ever had! And the bonus is that John is such a nice, funny guy, easy to talk with and very creative. You will NOT be disappointed in the pictures John does for you!

Austin photographer, John Langford Photography did a phenomenal job with our recent photo shoot for a client. We prepared a detailed shot list in advance. He and his assistant showed up on time with pristine, top-shelf equipment. Not only did he capture a multitude of scenarios at this shoot, we ended up with SO MANY great and varied shots. He made great use of our time, was pleasant, efficient and a consummate professional.

I couldn't be happier and the client was very pleased and impressed with the results. John is an experienced and accomplished Austin professional photographer who will get the job done! Highly recommend!

John is a true professional, producing eye-catching images that add polish and personality to my customer communications. His attention to details is impeccable, yet in the midst of managing equipment and posing and angles and lighting, John creates a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. His portrait sessions are fun - which enables his clients to relax and show the best of themselves. - Renee D.

I'm in the process of getting back in the job market after a few years running my travel business and needed help telling my story. Immediately I thought of John Langford for head shots. I called and got a photo shoot scheduled in a few days. His studio is located in an easy to find central location. The experience was great for me because it was my first time in front of the camera in a studio. John was very professional, helped me relax and even made it fun.

It was also quick. Done smoothly in less than an hour. I got my excellent pictures within 2 days. I thought the full service was well priced and value packed. Nothing not to love:- I now feel more ready for what's next!

John is a true artist - he knows how to pull out the best parts of you and share it with the world. His headshot process is as easy as painting by numbers for beautiful results every time. He helped me to tell the story of my business in video in a way that was comfortable, authentic and clear. It is a true honor to work with John and I'd recommend him time and time again.

I've worked with John Langford for 25 years, initially for tech product photography. His compelling shots helped our product collateral and marketing materials standout in the emerging 3D printing market. As good as he is with product photography, John's real forte is photographing people. His warm personality and sense of humor immediately sets you at ease.

He lets you know in advance the right clothes to wear for the best headshot results. During the session John gives clear instructions and does whatever it takes to achieve the best possible images. You're having fun while John gets shots that present you at your best. John is a true professional and working with him is an enjoyable experience. He's done two headshot sessions for me in the past 10 years and I highly recommend him. Kent Nutt Austin, Texas

Nothing short of excellent. John is an accomplished, professional photographer with worldwide experience who happens to do some of the best head shots available. John has taken professional shots of me numerous times over the years. I regularly get compliments on how good I look. That's a big part of John's magic. He also takes his time and is very particular about every aspect of staging. I highly recommend John Langford.

John came recommended by another photographer that I trust. Our team needed a talented photographer for a quick-turn headshot project. Within one week of contacting John, we booked our session, took the photos and had our finished images delivered back to us. We very much enjoyed having John on-site in our office, and he put everyone on our team at ease. It's not every day when you have engineers tell you that they enjoyed having their headshot taken. I highly recommend John for his sense of humor, perceptive personality, and top-quality work.

John created both studio and on-site publicity pictures for our theatrical show, Murders & Moontowers. Both approaches turned out spectacularly well, because of his bold creative sensibility as well as his impressive technical know-how.

If you are looking for an excellent photographer for corporate head shots, John is your man. He is a perfectionist and he knows his stuff. My group of 15 was very pleased with the results of the session with John. He kept to the tight timetable we agreed upon and everything was still beyond my expectations. He does an amazing job.

I've been using John for all my business photography since 2007 and I continue to use him to this very day. He is an established, true professional in an industry that is littered with fly-by-night, unreliable competitors. He has an incredible eye for finding just the right shot to capture the moment and is able to make everyone that he shoots feel right at home in front of the camera.

When all is said and done, John's main objective is to always make sure that the client is happy with the final product and he will do whatever it takes to get there. What a refreshing change in a world full of business professionals that want to give you the just the bare minimum and then move on to the next transaction.

I've had several headshot sessions in my career. John is amazing to work with. He has such a great eye for all the details, right angles, small tweaks, and the end result was superb. Our session was enjoyable, fun even. John took several shots and had me check out the images straight away so I could so what I needed to adjust. I strongly recommend John!
