Ben Krantz Studio, Oakland CA

I needed some updated professional photos and chose Ben after extensive research on talented photographers in the area. Ben was extremely communicative leading up to the photo shoot and took a lot of time to understand what meaning I wanted to convey in my pictures and to know me as a person and professional. The shoot was comfortable, efficient and fun! I highly recommend using the stylist he offers! She was wonderful and did my hair and make up right there on site before my shoot. I will be using a variety of the final pictures in various professional capacities and when I am in need of pictures in the future, will certainly be a repeat customer!

Ben was great to work with. He made the whole process very easy and he did a great job of making me feel comfortable. Most importantly the photos came out awesome!

Ben is so amazing at what he does! He is incredibly welcoming and kind, and he will work with you to make sure you love your pictures. He made the photo shoot comfortable with some chatting and laughter! I love my pictures so much - incredible quality, perfect retouching! I 100% recommend!

Absolutely loved working with Ben for my corporate headshot. Would highly recommend him as I found him professional, personable, and welcoming - especially when it wasn't something I was looking forward to doing! Ben made the experience worth it and I thank him for his work.

Update from my second visit, 18 months later: Ben continues to do an amazing job, highly recommend!

Ben did an amazing job with my headshots! He made the whole process feel fun and comfortable, and the every shot he got was just gorgeous! He clearly knows his art, and his neighborhood - we went to multiple locations within a block or two of his studio to get various backgrounds for different shots. He was also super quick in getting me the edited photos. If you need headshots for anything, I strongly recommend him!

I absolutely LOVE my new headshots! Ben Krantz was great in terms of making me feel at ease and confident, explaining the process, and in selecting the best final shots. The shoot was efficient while feeling like there was plenty of time and the turnaround time for the final product helped me make a tight deadline. Ben is great at what he does and these headshots will last me for years.

Ben took nice photos for my new business. He was easy to work with and very prompt!
