Robert is excellent with his work. I wanted a set of visa photos taken for Canada and he had thorough knowledge about it. Not only that he made the entire process very entertaining for us. It was fun to work with him. He also accommodated us at a very short notice which we really appreciate. I highly recommend him for any visa pictures or otherwise as well. Robert is amazing. You rock!

Innovative Images guarantee passport photos will be accepted and I found this a compelling reason to use their service. In addition to this practical reason, Robert was courteous and helped put my daughter at ease. He gave us a brief overview of the classic Hollywood portrait techniques he has mastered - even though we did not use them for a simple passport photo. I would recommend the studio to anyone looking for high quality, distinctive photos.

Robert is very sensitive and truthful about his business. He takes the time to listen to you and make suggestions about your photography needs. He is very truthful when he tell you what he can or cannot do. I had the experience to meet him recently and had two photos done. Robert's work is excellent and i would recommend him to anyone looking for quality photos done in a timely manner.

I really enjoyed working with Robert last year! I needed a photographer asap and needed my photo that day- Robert delivered. He does quality work and takes him time so that the process is smooth and not rushed. I liked the location and the actual atmosphere of his studio. When it was all said and done, Robert himself helped me choose my best photo and was accurate with the choosing. Really enjoyed the overall services and efforts of Robert's establishment.
