ELEVATE YOUR PROFESSIONAL IMAGE
Your Presence Defines Your Brand.
In today’s competitive world, the way you present yourself matters.
A great headshot does two things: shows confidence and approachability—because it’s more than just a photo. It’s the first impression of your personal brand and the presence you bring. And it needs to look exceptional while telling your story.
Why? Because how they see you is how they see your business.
Your image speaks before you do.
First impressions matter.
Your headshot and branding photos are your handshake in the digital world.
A powerful portrait. A stronger brand. A lasting impact.
I can make that happen.

I had a great photoshoot experience with Simon. He took his time. I never felt rushed. Simon’s is great at making you feel comfortable and at ease.
He was very good at suggesting poses and his assistant carefully checked to see that hair and clothes looked good before each picture was taken.
On top of that, Simon did a great job of touching up little blemishes and making me look fantastic in the photos!
It was a terrific experience and I’m very pleased with my photos! Thanks, Simon. -

Joanne Conger
Executive Director of The Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra
Simon is just a great photographer. It may sound trite, but the session changed my life. The perception that people had of me after I changed my social media profile to one of Simon's photographs was immediate—we can't help it, we are often damaged or we benefit from other people's perceptions of us. Simon helped me define the perception I had of myself and then translated that into a photograph.
His work is not cheap to buy; he's as professional as any photographer in LA or NYC. But it was worth every penny for what it gave me as a professional. Highly recommend, with all sincerity. -

One look at his photography, and you will want to shoot with him. One shoot with him, and you'll already be wanting to schedule another. His knowledge of lighting and posing is very evident!
He is a perfectionist with his skills but such a laid-back, fun person to be around. He definitely made our experience so enjoyable!
SHOW UP. STAND OUT.
BE REMEMBERED.
A headshot isn’t just a picture—it’s your brand, your reputation, and your first impression rolled into one. Whether you’re a business professional, influencer, artist, or entrepreneur, your image tells people who you are before you even say a word.
When someone looks you up online, what do they see? A strong, confident, and approachable presence? Or just a photo that doesn’t truly represent you? In today’s world, your headshot is more than just a profile picture—it’s your digital handshake, the face of your brand, and the key to making connections that matter.
A great headshot does two things:
✔ Gets you noticed—so you stand out in your industry.
✔ Makes you relatable—so people want to connect, follow, or work with you.
If your current headshot isn’t giving you the presence you deserve, it’s time for something better. Let’s create an image that works for you—one that is powerful, professional, and authentically YOU.
Step up your game. Own your image.
Not Your Typical, Boring Headshot—See the Difference!
Let’s talk about branding…
YOUR BRAND STARTS WITH YOU—MAKE IT COUNT.
Before people read your bio, visit your website, or hear what you have to say, they see you. And whether you’re an entrepreneur, a creative, or a professional, how you show up in the world shapes how others perceive you. That’s personal branding.
It’s not just about looking good—it’s about being recognizable, memorable, and undeniably you. A powerful image sets the tone for how clients, collaborators, and your audience connect with you. It builds trust, commands attention, and tells your story before you say a single word.
An outdated, low-quality, or forgettable headshot won’t do you justice. If you’re leveling up in your career or business, your image should reflect that. A strong personal brand needs visuals that match your ambition—and that’s where I come in.
Let’s create a headshot that works as hard as you do. One that opens doors, creates opportunities, and makes sure you’re remembered for all the right reasons.
Ready to show up like you mean it? Let me show you why I’m the best choice.
Here Are Some of the Professionals Who Trusted Me with Their Personal Brand!
Bruce Kulick
This is Bruce Kulick. Rockstar. Legend. A guitarist who helped shape the sound of rock history with KISS and beyond.
Best known for his time with KISS from 1984 to 1996, Bruce played on iconic albums like Asylum (1985), Crazy Nights(1987), Hot in the Shade (1989), Revenge (1992), and Carnival of Souls (1997). Unlike previous KISS guitarists, he was part of the band’s “unmasked” era, making a lasting impact with his signature sound.
After KISS, Bruce kept the music alive, proving his influence extended far beyond one band. He joined Grand Funk Railroad as their lead guitarist from 2000 to 2023, rocking stages worldwide. He also built an impressive solo career, releasing three killer albums:
*Audio Dog (2001) – A raw and personal debut showcasing his versatility.
*Transformer (2003) – A mix of hard rock and melody-driven tracks that prove his songwriting chops.
*BK3 (2010) – My personal favorite—a powerhouse album featuring guest appearances from rock icons like Gene Simmons, Nick Simmons, Eric Singer, and John Corabi.
Bruce also co-founded Union, a hard-hitting band featuring John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, The Dead Daisies), James Hunting (David Lee Roth, Eddie Money), and Brent Fitz (Slash, Alice Cooper). Together, they released two albums:
Union (1998) – A powerful mix of hard rock and grunge influences.
The Blue Room (2000) – A darker, heavier follow-up that cemented their status as a cult favorite.
But Bruce’s career didn’t stop there. He’s played with some of the biggest names in rock, lending his guitar skills to artists like Meat Loaf, Paul Stanley, Marina V, Michael Bolton (in Blackjack), Billy Squier, and even Lordi. His work spans genres, proving his ability to adapt and elevate any project he’s part of.
With a career as impressive as Bruce’s, you can say he truly understands the value of presence—not just on stage, but across social media and beyond. That’s why I’ll forever be grateful for the opportunity and trust he placed in me as his personal photographer, allowing me to create these powerful images for his brand. He knows the impact of strong visuals in building a brand, and that’s why he trusted me to craft the images for his website, marketing materials, and major interviews—including his feature in The Pick from Guitar World Magazine.
Bruce knows killer shots matter. Step up your game and own your brand like a legend. Let’s shoot.
Now, Bruce is stepping into a new era—launching his own personal line of boutique guitars: KULICK. These custom instruments reflect his decades of experience and passion for tone, precision, and rock 'n' roll. Built for serious players and collectors alike, KULICK guitars will be available for sale soon—and trust me, they’re not just badass, they’re absolute masterpieces.

He co-wrote "Shot in the Dark," one of Ozzy’s biggest hits from The Ultimate Sin (1986), cementing his place in rock history. But his career extends far beyond that iconic track.
A true force in rock and metal, Phil has performed and recorded with Billy Idol, Vince Neil (Mötley Crüe), Johnny Hallyday, Steve Lukather (Toto), and even members of Led Zeppelin. He’s also a key member of Last in Line, the band featuring former Dio members, keeping the spirit of classic heavy metal alive.
Beyond his work as a sought-after bassist, Phil has built an impressive solo career, showcasing his skills not just as a musician but as a vocalist and songwriter. His solo albums include:

*No Protection (2011) – A dynamic blend of classic rock influences with a modern edge.
*Live in Vegas (2018) – A raw and electrifying live album capturing his energy on stage.
With a career spanning decades, Phil Soussan has left his mark on rock and metal, not just on stage but also behind the scenes as a producer and songwriter.
