Turn Your Presence Into Power with Guy Viau Headshot
Professional Headshot Photographer in Los Angeles
Show Up Like You Mean It, Because “Good Enough” Doesn’t Get Noticed
You’ve put in the work to get where you are. Your headshot should reflect that, instantly. Guy Viau is the best headshot photographer. Los Angeles has to offer, with a studio built on real light, honest direction, and images that actually look like you at your best. Whether you’re an actor chasing your next audition, a CEO refreshing your LinkedIn, or a professional who just knows it’s time, this is where you come to get it done right.
I've Been Doing This for 20 Years. Here's What I Know.
Nervous in front of a camera? Good. That means you're normal. But if the nervousness does not fade, it means you do not have a professional headshotphotographer. Every single client who walks into my studio feels it, actors, CEOs, and people who've been on set a hundred times. It fades fast when the environment is right, and building that environment is half the time included. My job. I don't do cookie-cutter setups. I don't recycle the same lighting look across every session. I look at who's in front of me and figure out what's going to make that specific person look real, confident, and impossible to scroll past. That's the difference between a photo you're proud of and one you quietly never use.
From Actors to Corporate, Here’s What Guy Viau Creates
Guy Viau Headshot offers a range of headshot photography Los Angeles sessions tailored to what you actually need.
Actor Headshots: Casting directors see hundreds of faces a week. Guy shoots multiple actor headshots, theatrical, commercial, character-driven, so when yours lands in their inbox, it doesn't just show up. It sticks. You'll walk away with options that cover every role you're actually going after.
Business Headshots: Your LinkedIn photo is doing more work than you think. Recruiters, clients, speaking organizers, they're all looking you up. These business headshots are clean, confident, and shot the way you actually want to be seen. On-location at your office or in-studio, whatever fits your schedule.
Corporate Photography: Setting a whole team to be photographed usually means half-days lost and results all over the place. Not here. Guy makes sure every person walks away with corporate photography that's consistent, sharp, and brand-ready. Nobody gets a bad photo. Nobody gets left out.
Kids' Headshots: Kids don't perform well on command. They do well when they forget there's a camera. These sessions are built exactly around that relaxed, low-pressure, real. Whether it's for a young actor, a school portfolio, or an agency submission, kids' headshots will actually look like your kid.
Actress Headshots: Every actress brings something specific. These sessions are built to find it and put it on camera, soft and natural or bold and cinematic, whatever the role calls for. Each actress's headshot look is thought through to show range, presence, and versatility that gets you considered for more than one type of role.
Bikini & Lifestyle Shoots: Confident without trying too hard. That's exactly the line these sessions walk. Whether you're a model building your book, an influencer who needs fresh content, or a personal brand that wants visuals that don't look like everyone else's, our bikini & lifestyle shoots are well-directed, tasteful, and anything but generic.
Why People Come Back
There's no shortage of headshot photographers in Los Angeles. Here's what makes the difference.I coach you through every frame. Body language, expression, energy—I'm talking to you the entire session. You don't need experience in front of a camera. You just need to show up. The lighting is built around you. Studio and natural light, dialed in for your skin tone, your features, your specific look. It's not a setup I carry from client to client, hoping it works. The editing stays honest. You'll look like yourself on a great day, not a retouched stranger. Blemish removal, tone correction, and sharpening are all included, all done with a light hand.The session actually feels good. The studio is calm. The music is on. There's no pressure and no rush. Most clients tell me it was more enjoyable than they expected. That's by design.
The Studio Setup
The studio is based right here in Los Angeles and is set up specifically for headshot photography. The outdoor space is a dedicated daylight shooting area. Open shade, natural light. For headshots, there's nothing better. Full studio lighting is also available when a session calls for a different look or more flexibility. There's a private space to change and get ready before we start so that you won't rush into anything. The environment is calm by design. The more at ease you feel, the better your photos turn out. For corporate and executive clients, on-location sessions are available, too. If shooting at your office works better, I'll come to you.
