My daughter’s modeling agency highly recommended John for her profesional pictures. John was very professional and knowledgeable. He spent several minutes reviewing magazines and poses with my daughter. He decided the look he wanted for her and made her feel super comfortable. The pictures were amazing! Her agent was hapoy, we were hapoy and we loved that she learned a lot of tips from her photo shot. John’s experience and friendly aproach made the photo shot enjoyable. We will be coming back to John for more pictures in the near future. He gained our trust as an experienced and austanding phtographer More...

John is a superb artist. My daughter is 15 years old and did her first photo shoot with him. He was kind, professional and fun. He was able to not only put her at ease but bring out all sides of her personality on camera. She went on to have several offers from local modeling agencies based on John's work. He went above and beyond offering advice we have all used. Quite simply he is a wonderful representative of the industry. What more could you want? More...

John did my first headshot when I started modeling over 15 years ago and now he's always my go to guy. He's not only takes amazing pictures, he also listens to what you are trying to convey in a picture and nails it every time. He's also a man of integrity and I never hesitate to refer people to him because I know that they will always get a great photo. I would recommend John to anyone. More...

Caryn Models sent us to John's studio for our daughter's portfolio shots. Luckily we were first on his list, so he spent generous time explaining the industry and how to get the best shots. Our daughter, 14, is naturally nervous in new situations - but John created such a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that she "fell right into place." His studio is super cool, located in a historic warehouse, recently renovated in NE MPLS. It has a rustic, yet fashionable feeling, with neat wood floors and a huge metal door that opens up to a old loading dock.When we left our daughter asked if John would be shooting for all the events in the future. And we giggled. Probably not. But that's what she was hoping for. :-) More...

I LOVE John's work!  I am new to Minnesota and was recommended to shoot with John to update my Commercial and Lifestyle agency portfolio.  He is fantastic to work with...talented, professional, fun, upbeat and with a perfectionist's attention to detail.  He made me feel right at ease from the moment I walked into his studio.  And his work? Well... I love my new images and feel that they will go a long way in establishing  and representing me in this market!  I highly recommend him to anyone that wants beautiful and quality images.  I know that I will be using him again and again!

I love John! He is such an incredible photographer! I first worked with him as a child model when I was 8 years old (now 32). John is my go-to guy whenever I need an update for my portfolio or an amazing shot of my children… He is a perfectionist when it comes to his art, and it shows in each beautiful image! More...

If I could give the wonderful John Wagner more than 5 stars I would. I am a hair and make-up artist and have been working with John since the middle of spring 2013. He is truly a talented and very knowledgeable photographer. What makes John even better is that he is a fun, energetic, person that makes all his clients feel comfortable no matter what their age. I have a great time doing the career I love and when I can go to work around others,like John, that feel the same way about their career it makes a person feel like your all just hanging out and having a great time. #lovingjohnwagnerphotography More...

John Wagner is an amazing photographer and person. He has been taking photos of me ever since I was a little girl, up until now, and I have to say I would not recommend anyone else. His expertise in photography and bringing out the true model in each person is effortless and fun. His studio provides a very comfortable environment for new and current clients.The make-up artists he recommends are very talented, and easy to work with as well. Both John and his make-up artists have a common goal to bring out and capture the absolute, best look within each individual they are shooting.I could not be more satisfied with the photos John has taken of me over the past 20 years. They are pieces of my life I will cherish forever. More...

I highly recommend John Wagner for any photography needs that you may have. He was recommended by a friend whose daughter is a model. John produced her portfolio and the photos are stunning.I contacted John for 2 of my kids' senior pictures and found the experience to be terrific. He was very responsive and friendly in setting up our photo shoot. His studio space and location is perfect for a sophisticated backdrop (weathered brick walls, huge old windows, etc) and he really cares about the finished product. His lighting and sense of proportion is excellent. His rapport with my teenagers was great, too.Overall, we had a top notch experience with top notch results! I would recommend John for any photography needs that you have. He's a true artist and professional!Eve Bassinger, Minneapolis More...
