Great experience with John! He's personable, professional and hilarious! We took many different shots and poses with different lighting and wardrobe. His approach is collaborative and easy going yet firm in what he thinks is best for you overall. Very cool experience! Thanks a lot John! I would highly recommend! More...

It was a real pleasure working with John - he is a professional through and through who knows exactly how to capture that perfect shot (or shots) you're hoping for when you make the appointment. I have already started recommending him to friends and coworkers and will continue to do so. You won't be disappointed! More...

Not only did the photos turn out amazing, but the photoshoot was pretty fun as well. John really knows what he's doing. He'll tell you to position your head or shoulders a certain way, open your eyes wider or make them more subtle, and everything else you can imagine to get the perfect shot. I came in to get headshots for business cards, and these photos came out better than anyone else's I've seen thus far. He is exactly on point and will make it a quick and easy process if needed. Great investment and highly recommended. More...

I'm thrilled with the headshot photos that John Glover produced.He suggested a make up session to get ready, which was well worth it. When we finished the photos, we selected several to finalize so I have different shots for different purposes (more casual or professional).  I went back to have him film an introductory video for my website and also for an education series promotion.  Excellent work!

I'm happy to say that I've had 2 wonderful experiences with John. I first met him when he came to our office to do professional headshots. John sent us some helpful tips a couple of days before on how to nail the best possible headshot and made all of us feel comfortable in front of the camera. My co-workers and I couldn't be happier with the results.  My second experience with John was for our maternity shoot. This was a very special time in our life and I wanted our photos to be unique and timeless. John is a true artist with a great vision. Weeks before our photoshoot he shared some inspiration, helped us pick out the perfect outfits and really cared about getting to know my husband and I so he could tailor everything to our taste and interests. Our maternity photos turned out absolutely amazing. John is professional, honest, very creative and just a great person to work with. I highly recommend him to family and friends or anyone who is looking for a fantastic experience. More...

My experience in working with John Glover for a corporate headshot was a great one. From the emails with information to help you prepare for your session to how friendly he is, John knows how to make you feel comfortable to get the best results possible. He made the session very fun, interactive, and he definitely knows his stuff; not a canned approach like everyone else. I would highly recommend John for anything from corporate, professional, or casual shots. More...

If you are an actor looking for headshots, John Glover is the best photographer. My experience working with John was incredible. I needed a photographer who can work with glasses and I came across John, who was also recommended to me from The Actor's Studio of Orange County. If you have glasses, don't worry. John makes sure you are still getting amazing photos. Working with him is very relaxing, he makes sure you're comfortable, and at ease. Not only did I work with John, I also worked with his HMUA name, RJ. She is incredible! RJ clearly knows his work of style and made the session even more relaxing and fun. Overall, the entire session was well worth it. I highly recommend John Glover Photography to anyone looking for professional, high quality headshots. More...

I had to get headshots taken for the first time outside of a work or school setting. I did some google searches for local headshot photographers and came across John. I sent him an email and he was very responsive and helpful, so I decided to schedule him. He also was able to bring in his own hair and makeup artist, which was very easy and appreciated. He gave me lots of pointers, ample time to look at what he was doing, change, and make sure we got some good ones taken. I just got the photos back and love them.

I do not consider myself photogenic. I needed a headshot for a speaking engagement so I did an on-line search & found John Glover Photography. I telephoned him & talked about my needs. The photo-shoot was fun. John's silly sense of humor helped me smile naturally as contrasted with my typical deer in the headlights forced smile look.  I posted my photo on my FB page & got great feedback with my favorite comment being that my friend has never seen me so relaxed. I am glad that I paid extra to have an on-site make-up artist. She did a great job of keeping my look natural. I had a specific look I wanted to convey in my headshot & John nailed it. If you are similar to me & feel uncomfortable in front of a camera I highly recommend John Glover More...

I had the pleasure of having my headshots taken by John, and have to admit that he's more of a professional magician than a photographer. I had no idea I was such a good-looking guy until I saw the photos that came back from my shoot. John gave very good pointers on how to accentuate all your features. He'll tell you to move your head or other body parts to align you in a way that takes off those 50 or so pounds the camera adds. Also, John has a great sense of humor and knows how get you to laugh and smile authentically for your shots. I would definitely recommend coming here for professional headshots! More...

I'm trying to start my own business so I wanted a professional looking picture. Obviously I'm not the average person. I explained this upfront from the beginning and he never treated me any different or revealed that he was uncomfortable with the situation. He was extremely professional and kind through the whole session. He also made me laugh quite a bit which is important. I wanted to attempt to remove as much of the medical equipment as possible. I knew there is no way to make me look non-disabled, but I also I feel that sometimes the medical stuff can be distracting for me especially to people that don't know me. I'm not ashamed, I know it's part of who I am but in the business world, I want clients to see me. John photoshopped out my trach as well as my wheelchair. I think he did a beautiful job! Above all, what impressed me the most was the dedication. One thing I hate most about being a disabled professional woman is that attitude "that's good enough, what can we really do with her?" Lol! It's true, unfortunately people still think that way and I have experienced this a lot. Not being taken seriously. When I did the photo shoot he said it would take about a week to do the photoshopping. About a week later I emailed him to ask for an update for my pictures. I wasn't in a hurry but I didn't want him to forget about me. His response was that he was not satisfied with the photoshopping and asked if I minded waiting a few more days for it be done up to his standards. Like I said, I wasn't in a hurry. But I was very, very pleased that he cared enough to make sure it was done right or at least to the best of his ability. He's very professional and took his time, never rushed me or made me feel like I was an inconvenience. I would definitely recommend him. I have attached the picture because I think it's as close to perfection as anybody can get. Keep in mind, I have a trach coming out of my neck and I have a head rest that supports my head in the wheelchair. Both of those were removed. Thank you, John, for everything! More...

John is very kind and knows how to explain things the general population. In the beginning of session, I was really tensed and you could see it in my face. John helped me relax by encouraging my inner confidence and letting my judgments go! I liked how he showed me the photos in between shots and explained what worked and what didn't (posing wise). Another bonus was his customer service. I met John and his team at a local business fair and received my first headshot then. I was NOT happy. The crop was odd and the editing was dark - BUT, I explained my concerns to John and he offered me another chance to take them because he wants his customers to be satisfied. If that isn't top notch customer service, I don't know what is! Thank you John for the redo and amazing experience. I can't wait to get more photos done and to refer you! More...

Q&As

I love working with people. Every person on this planet is unique in their own way; I aim to make a genuine connection with all of my clients and I truly enjoy this aspect of my work.

There are a lot of headshot photographers in our local market. However, most of them add headshots to their product offering as an after-thought or add-on among their plethora of other offerings (such as family portraits, weddings, etc...). Headshot photography deserves and requires a specialist as much, if not more, than any other niche of photography. Trust me - it's not the camera.

I have spent years dedicated to learning the best techniques and equipment in headshot photography. I am a Mentor and Associate photographer with Peter Hurley's Headshot Crew - an elite group of the best headshot photographers in the world. I'm among only a hand full of people worldwide to receive this designation, which is reserved for only the highest skilled headshot photographers who have mastered their craft at such a level as to be able to teach it to others effectively.
