Dear Kevyn, Nicole & Ladi, I just wanted to give a HUGE HUGE HUUUUGE THANK YOU for EVERYTHING!! I could not have been happier while I was there, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I am having SUCH a difficult time choosing which pictures to print! Honestly, from the bottom of my heart...THANK YOU! You are all truly gifted and I will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you so much for EVERYTHING! Hope you all are healthy and well. All my love, Raleigh Bisbee

Kevyn! Hello, Sorry it's taken me SO long to get back with you about my shot! I enjoyed myself so much and I was SO impressed with the results! They are like no other headshot I've seen yet! Thank you Kevyn and Staff! Karen Foegley

Dear Kevyn and Ken I just sent out some of my KMH shots to an established and selective management firm by email...can I just tell you, I got a call the very SAME day, not a returned email A CALL and they want to meet monday! They truly are headshots that open doors....I feel good knowing I finally have the right pictures!!! Thanks Brett

Dear Kevyn Thank you so much. I finally feel that I have pictures that are true to me. xx Manu Toigo

Just wanted to say thank you for all of your time yesterday at the shoot. Darian had a lot of fun. It was a pleasure to work with all of you. Thank you for your beautiful work and for making Darian feel so comfortable. Barbara Ginsberg

Dear Kevyn: I just want to thank you for the phenomenal headshots that you took of my five year old son, Garrett, on June 21, 2007. Initially, we came to you as part of your Amber Alert photo program. Once we saw how well Garrett's headshots turned out, we decided to test the waters to see what kind of agent interest there was. Within 48 hours of mailing your headshots to top agents in L.A., the phone began to ring and we had appointments set with a half dozen of those agents. Within 3 weeks, Garrett was signed for commercial representation by a highly ranked agency in L.A. This week, he wrapped his first commercial! And the phone continues to ring for theatrical and modeling representation...all from your incredible photographs! We cannot thank you enough for "opening the door" to success for Garrett. Best wishes to you and your entire staff... Sincerely, Robin Geoghegan

Hey Kevyn and gang, Sarah is going great guns here in the Big Apple. Not only is she in Grey Gardens on Broadway playing the young Jackie Bouvier (Kennedy), she also has a recurring role on One Life to Live, and is playing Brooke Shields daughter on Lipstick Jungle. Also in the works are the workshops of Shrek, the musical and Bye Bye Birdie; both coming to Broadway. She also just booked a Verizon commercial that will air soon. So look for her. Also, we are coming out to LA for a well deserved vacation and Ed (my husband) and Ian (my son) and, yes, myself need headshots. I'll let you know what dates Sarah is given for vacation from the show, and hopefully be able to book a day with us, We love your work, and it continues to get high praise from all who see it. Thank you so much. Love Melissa

What's up Kevyn, I really like my headshots a lot, I'm glad I didn't turn around on the 101 that day I met you, best headshots I ever took, I will speak to you soon, later brother. ROCCO SPINELLI

Dear Kevyn, Carlos Reynaldo and his daughter are very happy with their headshots. Thank you very much. Would like to talk to you about meeting our students at Agents Night in the Advanced Commercial Class. Looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Natalia

(Message was initially sent to Judy Kerr) I just want to thank you so very much for referring Kevyn Howard to me. I am absolutely thrilled with his style and thoroughly impressed with the way he works. As you know, I’ve been in and around this industry for many, many years, and I’ve interviewed and worked with dozens and dozens of photographers. The first thing I noticed about Kevyn’s work is the way he captures the eyes in every one of his subjects. I’ve been looking for someone with this skill my entire career, especially since we all learn how important the eyes are in the acting world…and everywhere else, too. Kevyn offers so many amenities. His hair stylist is associated with a salon in Beverly Hills, and it thoroughly shows in his work. His make-up artist has worked professionally for many years on major features, television shows and print, and she really knows how to apply make-up as the session progresses, so one can achieve several, very natural looks. But, most important to me, is that actors are provided with one-on-one direction throughout the shoot, including hair and make-up corrections. I found this direction, and correction of pose and posture to be enormously helpful and unique. Additionally, because Kevyn uses continuous frame (or frames-per-second) photography, all the individual nuances of each expression are captured, rendering a very natural, non-posed or stiff, result. I am extremely grateful to have found Kevyn! Thank you!! Best regards, Kay Harrison

Hi Kevyn, Thanks again. I was told that my head shot was chosen from over 1,000 submissions and I was cast for the lead in a pilot. Last week I was in Curb Your Enthusiasm. This week my head shot was chosen over 200 others, and I film four episodes of Reno 911. Justin

Hi Kevyn... I wanted to thank you for another great shoot. Since I first clicked onto your website a few years ago, I have known that you are truly an artist with an amazing ability to bring out the best in people. I am so glad to be able to shoot with you. Since this was my second shoot, and I "knew the drill" I had a lot of enjoyment watching how you worked with all the people that you were shooting. I was really amazed and appreciative as you made subtle suggestions to the actors and all of a sudden something that wasn't initially apparent filled up the picture and they became intensely interesting...I started to envision a secretary with a secret, a steely lawyer with a hidden heart of gold, a desperate housewife dead ringer, etc...I wanted to know more about the person in the photo... and what's more I started to see the unique beauty in each person. I believe that one of the most admirable qualities and greatest joys and fulfillments in life is bringing forward the best in ourselves, to bring out the best in others. During the photo shoot, I was impressed with your dedication and sincere desire to bring out all that is radiant, intriguing, and captivating in each individual. Thanks sincerely for what you do, and the care and precision you take. I look forward to more of "the best!" Blessings! Leslie Seidel

Article: "REACH FOR THE STARS" It's not just actors who benefit from having a good headshot. If you do any kind of PR, you need to stand out. Kevyn Major Howard does that for me. Thanks Kevyn! ~Kitty Kavey www.KittyStar.com

"Kevyn's work is absolutely phenomenal! His photos get you into the audition and casting directors know his shots because they pop!" ---Lance Gross "I've been called in so much since our shoot! Whatever it is he's doing, he's doing it right..." ---Lance Gross

Experience: It was wonderful. Fast, to the point...business. I've hated my shoots in the past: Guerilla style, or a photographer that really isn't sure what they're looking for...I enjoyed the atmosphere; reminded me of being on set, and when I'm in work mode I know I can offer my best! I'm confident that's what I got! Kevyn's the man, and he knows it, but doesn't have to say it, because he SHOWS it. James Sheldon

Jill Jackson - for Joy When Joy has had her photos done, she's always had "her own" timeslot with the photographer. (Brace yourself...for the unexpected...) Having "your own"...whatever it is...is so often considered the goal. But what a GREAT situation you offered to Joy...to me...and seemingly to the whole gang of folks on Griffith Park Blvd. that day. It seemed to create such a comfy environment for everyone. For us, it was more like Joy's NY bookings, where there would be a lot of kids...sometimes kids photographed together...but nearly ALWAYS a lot of breaks with kids she often new and ALWAYS enjoyed seeing. For everyone, it seemed the attention could get OFF of them so specifically...away from their self-examination of every eyebrow hair or whisker...and be about so much more...about what they enjoy about "doing pictures" to begin with. And EVERYONE came back from their photos just FULL of enthusiasm...were SO pleased with their shots...saw more in them than they seemingly had EVER seen in a mirror...and also remarking at how well OTHERS looked through your lens. I was so impressed with Joy's first shots--and am so eager to see the finished package online. I'll recommend to many!

October 2006: Emily and KevYn kept the day enjoyable...it was long, though the results were worth it. I got work immediately. I was in an episode of Dirt and Unfabulous. I was in Jordan Pruitt's new music video, as well as Relient K's new music video. Justin Castor

Just wanted to thank you again Kevyn. Sarah looks fantastic, and as always we had a difficult time choosing. But we did, and are very happy with 5 different looks. Everyone here in NYC who sees your work wants to know "who did your shoot?" I smile and say Kevyn Major Howard. You are the best, and tell everyone to come to you. Get on a plane and go to Kevyn. Thank you thank you thank you. Melissa P.S. Come see Sarah in Grey Gardens on Broadway if you get to the Big Apple. We'd love to see you.

Good Morning! I will be leaving to go back home today. I did not want to leave without thanking everyone for all their time and help in my photo shoot yesterday! I was very impressed with the unique style and professionalism and can't wait to see the results! Warmest Regards, Debra Paratore, Realtor Relocation Specialist, ePro http://www.debra4homes.com

Dear Mr. Howard: This is Donny Meacham, and I just got my headshots back today, and I just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful job. The pictures are great, and the printing dept. had them done in 1 day. Thanks for making me feel comfortable at the shoot, and your assistants are very nice, and helpful. Thanks again! Sincerely, Donny Meacham

I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you and your crew again for the wonderful day of shooting yesterday! Steph and I thought the experience completely reflected the level of quality and talent that I wish to associate myself and my career with. I know that I have several excellent headshots to work with, and I am thrilled that I had the opportunity to shoot with you. Best regards, Brian Ceponis

Just wanted you to know I just booked a job on "Greys Anatomy" Thank you Kevyn! Alexandra Brandl

I have been in LA for a few months and searched for a photographer for my headshots. After weeks of searching, I happened upon Kevyn Major Howard online and was extremely impressed with what I saw. On the morning of my shoot, I arrived to Kevyn's studio. It was very relaxed. The makeup artist was fantastic. I felt very comfortable and at ease.

Kevyn is an amazing photographer and during the shoot he offered many suggestions on who and where I should submit based on the look that I have. I have picked up my prints from the printers and already have an audition set up for the lead in a horror movie. I also have been booked for 2 projects tomorrow. And this has all happened because of my headshots. Having a headshot by Kevyn Major Howard definitely opens doors. Now the rest is up to me. Thank you Kevyn and thank you to your wonderful team for hooking me up right. Lee Marshall July 8,2006

I had a good time with the other actors. The set up really works well. It was relaxing and the hair/make-up team was terrific. My headshots are absolutely beautiful. My husband is so proud, he's been showing them off at his office and everyone thinks they're terrific. They're very flattering, but they look like me. Thank you! Colleen Redlich 5-24-06

Hi. Ken with Kevyn Major Howard Studios here. Leah Cunnington used her images to create a fantastic presentation for herself and I wanted to share it with our clients. Beautiful work Leah! Tks, Ken Horkavy 6-12-06

My experience was exciting, I am amazed at the patience Mr. Howard has in dealing with several people at once (especially when they ar all women!) . Even though there were several of us, you(as an individual) still feel important,which is nice. I think Kevyn truly cares about his clients and that is comforting. I was nervous, but the atmosphere and the crew help ease the tension and I hope that I will have to take more pics in the future and I will definitely come back to Kevyn.Thank You!!!! Melissa Peters 5-23-06

I wanted to say thanks for the incredible shoot. Kevyn and his entire staff made it very enjoyable. He has the most amazing ability to capture what nobody else can even see. He is truly an artistic genius! Thanks for the amazing photos, the great time, and the new friendships. Chuck Goetschel

I wanted to say thank you very much Kevyn for such wonderful work, these are by far the best shots I've ever had taken, its going to be difficult to decide on which one to use, because there are so many great shots... Thanks Troy Jones

Everything about my shoot was fabulous! The hair and makeup accentuated me and the photos turned out brillantly. I just had a meeting with an agent wherein she saw me and said, "I knew exactly who you were because you look just like your pictures!" She consequently offered me a contract. I am positive it was Kevyn's photos that got me in the door. Thank you so much--I am truly grateful. ~Michelle

The best experience ever. I was always nervous about having my picture taken but Kevyn changed that with his laid back attitude that made you feel comfortable and that you were important..Ladi your the best, you made my hair look great and Nicole you convinced me that the make-up would look natural and it was and of course Emily the first person I talk to you are great.

I can't wait to get my pics and start submitting again! The other day I thought I wanted to reshoot...I was crazy to think that! I was using a bad computer with terrible resolution and thought my eyes looked dead (of my own doing not Kevyn's of course). I am so excited for these shots to go out. Finally, some pics I am proud of!!! It only took me SIX years!!!!! Thank you all for your brilliance!!!! I'll let you know if I get any bites. Love, Edith

I have been a writer/producer for twenty years (currently Co-Executive Producer of Fox's series "24"). My 17 year-old daughter wants to pursue an acting career. I received your name from our casting directors Debi Manwiller and Peggy Kennedy.

Hey guys! Whats going on. I was just thinking back to when I shot with you and I had that silly b and w shot. Your photos really opened up doors....I got a commercial agent and a whole portfolio of awesome images...Im a professional model now...who knew...anyhow, I just wanted to thank you and hope you all are continuing to kick ass with the headshot biz. I work for a worldwide broadcast radio station and do promotions along with a handful of other goodies. Just finished Nascar event and shooting with whiterabbitstudio.com soon. Check out my links....and keep rockin. LOVELOVELOVE AMBER K

John's headshots were amazing-he was so happy with the results that it left me chomping at the bit to have mine done at your studios. Casey

My experience shooting with KMH was great. It was relaxed and professional atmosphere that felt more like being on a job than getting my headhots taken. I struggled through my first shoot, not sure what I was looking for and Kevin was very understanding, in his way (you know what I mean, Kevin!) when I asked to give it another go. Since receiving my new pictures in February, I've worked 5 jobs in just 7 weeks, winning nearly 50% of my auditions. The number of auditions did not go up, but my booking rate increased significantly. My theory? My KMH pictures are helping immensely in the deliberation phase of the audition. After I leave the room I feel confident that I am being represented as a professional that takes her job seriously, cares about her work and just happens to have a photo they can't take their eyes off of. Never before have I been told so repeatedly that I "photograph beautifully." Mix that with constantly working on my acting skills, and my booking rate has never been higher. Watch for me on Six Feet Under, My Wife and Kids, House, Weeds, and the Inside. Thank you Kevin and Staff! Giddy with work, Cindy Lu

I cannot thank you enough for your talent. I've been here for 5 years, had my headshots done numerous times and finally got it right with you! You really captured my truly quirky, crazy self! How long have I been trying to get into Sheila Manning's office? Forever! I dropped off my new headshot to her and got called in for a Mountain Dew commercial. I did stand-up a couple of weeks ago, sent out some headshots the following week. Sure enough someone from E! Entertainment saw my show and called me in to screen test to host a new show for them. Having great shots that represent who you are really make a difference. Thanks again! Christine

I am a petite model and commercial actress looking for fabulous headshots and zed cards. My friend Matt is friends with Paul Reder and Kevin Nealon and they highly recommend Kevyn. Matt trusts their opinion and I trust Matt. They feel you are the best in your field and that I would be well taken care of.  Thanks Again, Julie A. Fletcher

Hi Kevyn & Co. Iman's photos left me speechless.  Thank you, Kevyn, for using your gift to capture my daughter's essence.  Iman had so much fun, when her grandmother saw her that evening she said she glowed....that's really what it's all about. Thank you, again.  Kevyn is both a God-send and a blessing. -Tiffany Iman's Mom

Kevyn, The pics you took are amazing !I can't wait to shoot with you again . I just got back from the Santa Barbra Film Festival and whenever I was asked if I had any photos I couldn't wait to show off your incredible work.I was offered a development deal to record a few songs with Jeff Barry and I was thrilled to send him the hat photos(as it will be country).Tell Ladi thanks. They are talking video ect. and you better believe I will be looking for you to get me a great bio cover shot.Thank you so much !!!!!!!!! Have a grat Day! Shannon Gilman Prudentail Ojai

Hey Kevyn... Its Aisha Hinds...I shot with you in the end of 2003, and I must say...I had an INCREDIBLE, UNFATHOMABLE 2004!!!! There a a myriad of variables that contribute to the wonderful success of last year, but one of them is undoubtedly the flawless and fantastic work you did in shooting my headshots. Doors have flung and continue to fly open..... I wanted to let you know that I will be in a new movie coming out on January 19, called Assault on Precinct 13 with Ethan Hawke, Laurence Fishburne, and many other great players. Eternal Gratsi...Aisha Hinds

Shooting with Kevyn and his team is a wonderful experience. Kevyn drilled right to the core of my character and put it into my pictures. Out of many photographers I've shot with, he's the only one who took a picture of ME and who I am, instead of shooting me dissolving into a scrim draped on a box or some other useless attempt at art. I was tired of photographers trying to express themselves instead of me. Casting directors don't care what I look like standing next a velvet curtain. They want to know who I am as a person, and that is what Kevyn gave them. A successful actor in his own right, Kevyn understands how important the headshot is to me, the actor. I've never received better response than the response to Kevyn's pictures. My two shoots with Kevyn were fun, energetic and professional. He was always able to get me to relax and show who I am. I always felt like his first priority -- as if my shots were the ones that would make or break his studio. His staff is also incredibly friendly and professional. I can't say enough about working with them all. Kevyn has a good heart and a truly kind soul. Have Kevyn shoot your next headshot and see for yourself the difference he makes. Cameron Wolcott Frothingham

Dear Kevyn, I would like once again to express my sincere satisfaction with the headshots you took recently. There is no better proof than whats in the pudding. And that dish has been terrific for me. Not only am I getting into casting offices that hasn't seen me before, I am booking those tv shows with alarming frequency, and one thought keeps coming to mind...how damn good my headshot is. It's the tool that gets me in the door and lets me take it from there. I know this because many of these casting directors come right out and say what a great shot it is. Thanks for your continued support for my craft. Sincerely, Michael Edward Rose

I sent my pictures to Wilhelmina models and they flipped when they saw my pictures. So for fun I sent my headshots with my modeling resume to lots of different soap shows. Merissa Rodriguez called me behalf of Marnie Saitta the casting director for Young And The Restless, and she wanted me to come for an 11 O'clock read in. Then about three days later a production company (Furthur Films) called me and asked if I could come in and do an audition but it was a ghost reading session. I haven't heard back from Mr.Genkinger (casting director of Desperate Housewives) but it only been seven days (“Can you believe it, I'm actually counting the days.”) The only problem that I've Been having is trying to plan my time for the casting directors. Kev, you did keep your word with me, you said, “I'll give you my word that you'll have people calling you.” I'm just happy that Michele convinced me to get my pictures taken, I don't know why I was so hardheaded. Kev, I think your prices are too cheap for the fact is your giving them diamonds and they're bucking about the price. You know you should tell Michele if they want to be hard headed and go some were else let them go don't try to help them, and when four months later they call you and say kev, my pictures came out bad you tell them “You brought this upon your self, and by the way go watch my movie.” and just hang up the phone. I'm being serious, tell me what other photographer is in the same boat as one of the top-casting directors (Mali Finn). What's so crazy is I'll just say your name of were I got my pictures taken and it like the key to the city, I already know that you know that your KILLER at what you do. Anyway I hope ken,Michele,Wendy,Ladi,Nicole and every body at KMH-Headshots is all good. If you need me to give you a Testimonial please let me know, I'll put something on everybodys mind who has hesitations about working with you. Sincerely JoJo

Excellent I had a ball !!! I JUST landed a play Thank you guys soooo much!! The pics are awesome they get rave reviews and I think more folks are gonna call you since I showed the pic....... Nadirah

Hello from Cincinnati, Just to let you know, just the other night November 12th, 2004, received a phone call from LA for Savannah. It was a recording studio interested in her for an all girl band they are putting together. She stated she saw her at Best New Talent and her song and voice were exactly what they are looking for, and ready for this, her photos were absolutely perfect and gorgeous. Stating she has the perfect look (pop/disney look) they are looking for. Of course, they were looking for 14 year olds and she just turned 12. However, they stated she has the voice and the perfect look and her photos were great to go ahead and send a tape of her singing just at home so she could show the producer and they would see if they could take her up another avenue. Heck, have to start with baby steps right? Just wanted to let you know, the recording studio loved her photo and thanks for getting us in during that cold dreary wet day lol, and for getting us the p! hotos when we needed them. Can't wait for the other's to arrive here soon, for us to mail them out. Who would have thought that when we got back home a record company would have called? Thanks to everyone for all their kindness. Denise/Dwight McMullen Parents for Savannah Sexton

I have never had a photo session like this. it was an effortless experience (and i generally do not enjoy headshot sessions) in an amazingly efficient yet utterly caring and supportive environment. kevyn is like a fine-tuned machine but with a huge heart and innate talent. he just knows how to do this. and as if getting an effective headshot (or four) from one sitting (which never happens for me) isn't enough of a reward, i booked three, yes, three jobs after my shoot with kevyn. unheard of for me. do not hesitate to choose kevyn. he is an immense talent. honestly, i could go on and on. equally amazing staff. thanks, kevyn, and everyone else there. you've just helped make my life so much easier. anne r.

TO KEVYN AND HIS AMAZING STAFF! Just when I think visiting you all for the first time was special, then the actual shoot where I was pampered, made to feel right at home, could totally be myself , laughed alot and received words of wisdom from the professional actor and photographer that Kevyn is...I then get these pictures that took me forever to decide on because there were too many great ones to choose from...and then I go to pick them up and again embraced by Kevyn and his staff, coming and going with a big smile on my face...THEN came audition after audition, sometimes I couldn't even make some of them because weeks would go by where I honestly had to pick and choose...I was now building relationships with casting directors, directors and writers, being called in not once, not twice, but three times on the same show, being told my picture is one of the best they've ever seen...then I got a job, then another.  Just when I think, enough already (ha, ha, ha)...I order more pictures, drop by Kevyn's to pick them up and everyone that I previously met with from shoot  to Kevyn himself greeted me with joy and excitement...wanting to know how things are going, building my confidence up, complementing me on everything...it was like I took a brief walk on the red carpet!  I'm telling you these people care, they are genuine, professional, encouraging and each talented in their craft.  They make you want to be and do your best when you're there and when you walk out the door.  I am a mother of two boys, 6 and 2, I took a long break from acting, worried about coming back, almost ready not too, but thank God I came across a picture Kevyn took and I was like WOW...I need to meet with this photographer and well the rest is history...every actor who has a honest to goodness dream, should experience Kevyn Major Howard Photography! Thank you Kevyn, thank you to your staff! Debra Hopkins FOLLOW UP: Hi Kevyn, Just wanted to let you know that I went on a print audition the other day for Bausch and Lomb Contact Lenses.  They asked me if I had a book (modeling).  I said, no, but I have pictures.  Well, they LOVED my pictures and guess what?  I just found out I booked the job!    Just wanted to let you know.... Debra Hopkins

This is Mom (Karen) reporting for Tara. We just had the best time at the shoot. Tara told me that she has no interest in seeing any other photographer...EVER! And it's amazing...everyone who sees Tara's headshots (including her agent, casting directors and casting services) comments on how beautiful they are. Just to let you all know, within a day of sending out her new headshots, Tara was called for three jobs. And she just landed her first speaking role. Much thanks to everyone...and we'll be seeing you again soon.

Hi people! Kevyn, the headshots are working so well! I'm getting lots of activity with them...I have been getting calls for auditions (I have one this weekend) for films, and I just got cast in my first film--an indie project--that shoots in December. I don't think I would have moved so quickly without you. Thank you and bless you. You're the best. Brian Granger

I had pictures done back in 1992.I loved Kevyn's work.I kept telling people that he brings out the eyes in all his pictures and that if I'm going to spend the money on headshots I would go for quality.I want my pictures to stand out from the rest when it comes to handing them out.I've had pictures done by others and haven't used them,because I wasn't satisfied and in the process. I know if I'm not satisfied then what casting director would be.I'm planning to get my pictures redone and am bringing a friend along to get his done also.I just hope they aren't to booked.We are coming from Dallas. Vera Rose

To everyone at Kevyn Major Howard Studios: Brilliant! The photos are absolutely gorgeous. I am so excited to see how my photos get me to the next level. I know that they will get me where I need to go as a professional artist. I will keep you posted after I begin to send them out. With the warmest heart I thank you for all of the luxury treatment I received last Monday. Sincerely, Glaceia Julie Dickens

The whole experience , your talent and Professional Staff exceeded my expectations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You impressed my Dad. You are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU! Marie

Hi Kevyn, I just wanted to email you to thank you again. I am blown away by your work! I really enjoyed working with your entire staff on Monday and am struggling to choose which headshots I want to order.... Marie

I first heard about Kevyn through a friend in the business who described him as “THE BEST around" and “different" from the others.Having had so many tedious and agonizing experiences with mediocre photographers in the past and bored with the age-old conventions permeating headshot photography in general, no one could have been more dubious than I was about believing that this person was any different from the rest. WHAT made him different? WHY this amazing reputation? and WHAT made these pictures stand apart from others? My questions were quickly put to rest. From the moment I signed on to shoot with him, I was blown away by the competence and efficiency of his extraordinary staff of professionals and their sincere care that all my needs be met and issues addressed. The actual shoot was one of the most comfortable and enjoyable I've ever experienced. From hair and make-up to wardrobe and shooting itself, I was truly impressed and refreshed by its seamlessness. By the end of the day, my entire session was posted online. The next morning, I viewed the pictures with a theatrical agent with whom I was previously in the preliminary stages of consideration. Within minutes of seeing Kevyn's pictures of me, I was offered a major contract with the agency. Within a week's time, I was called back for a major feature film role and a guest spot on an HBO series. The initial response and continued attention I'm receiving from these pictures is unprecedented! Making the decision to shoot with Kevyn is one of the smartest investments I've made for my career. To call Kevyn Major Howard a “good photographer" is to truly understate his genius. He is a BRILLIANT ARTIST and his work is nothing short of remarkable. It's obvious that years of experience have given him free and expressive use of his talent and a miraculous resonance in this medium. His framing defies boundaries and convention. His ability to capture the mystery and creative essence in the eyes of each person he photographs makes them electric, gorgeous and alluring. These images jump off the page! they suffuse the ordinary. Meeting Kevyn and witnessing first-hand his whole-hearted devotion to actors and the success of their careers is so refreshing. I've never seen anything like it! He had built and empire whose influence will continue to infilltrate the business and create a totally new harmonic in this millennium. J.R. July 04

Dear Kevyn, Thank you for the BEST HEADSHOTS I've ever taken in my entire career!!!! I am overwhelmed with the amount of images to choose from. I would never have been able to get through it without your warmth and positive energy. You truly have a gift of capturing the essence of people as if you were stringing a necklace from dew drops. You are magic

I had such a fun day! You guys have a way of making people feel so important. I am so happy with my pictures, every one of them! My headshots opened the door for me to meet and sign with a great personal manager, and I just signed with the Bobby Ball Agency. I recently shot a commercial for a clothing store in L.A., and it was my headshot that got me the audition! Thank you so much Kevyn, Michele, Wendy, Ken, Ladi, Nicole and Jeremy! You guys are amazing! I will forever be grateful. I'll see you guys soon. Jessica

After three photographers I found Kevyn Major Howard and I wish he had been first. First of all hes a great guy who knows what hes doing. With kevyn being in the industry, he told me straight up what it would take to even be taken seriously as an actor in this business and a great picture is the key. Since my photoshoot with kevyn my responses have trippled and i recently booked a national Nike Commercial, got an agent, and made a friend. Thanks Kevyn! Bryant Cook

Over several years and five awful headshot photographers, I finally found Kevyn and his wonderful staff! I had the best experience, right from the very start! Michele, you are so professional, and probably don't get the thanks you deserve, so... Thank you, for making the entire headshot process fun. I cannot say enough about Kevyn, and the magic he creates with his work. Thanks also to Ladi and Nicole, who both made me look my very best. For the first time, I am so proud of my headshots, and I've shown anyone and everyone who would look at them! The response has been incredible. I now have representation -- across the board, with Malaky International. My agent, J.R., absolutely loves my pictures, and he's very excited to work with me. This is truly a turning point in my career, because I now have an agent who believes in me and fantastic pictures to submit! I believe that great things are just around the corner. I also just updated my pictures on LA Casting, and the girl who uploaded my pictures could not believe how beautiful my headshots are! That's a great compliment coming from someone in that position. Again, thank you all at Kevyn Major Howard Studios. You are the best! Sincerely, Natalie Pausch

This will be my 3rd session with Kevyn...I always love the way that the pics come out....Kevyn, I use my first "main" headshot that i took with you, on my business cards and people ALWAYS comment on it...i look forward to the new sessions and new opportunities that will blossom from this "biz Card"...hope all is well! Yolanda Laverde (YO!)

Very good experience, very laid back and all great responses from actors, agents, and casting directors. Within 72 hours I got 2 audition calls from directing people to my shots online. Mark Elias

This is truly the first time I have had an incredibly difficult time choosing from so many great photos.  What a problem to have!  I only regret that I didn't go to Kevin sooner. He and his team are perfectionists, and I am so thankful for their amazing work!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

After years of shooting with what feels like every known photographer on the planet, and never getting a shot that worked, I finally was referred to Kevyn, and I am happy to report that miracles really do happen. It might sound dramatic but that's exactly how I would describe people's reactions to my new shots. First came the print agency that had wanted to sign me 9 months ago when we met. They are one of the top agencies in town and had insisted I get shots that they all liked. For various reasons I was unable to shoot until last month. I went back to them expecting to be signed and was informed that they now had their quota of brunettes as I had waited too long. Just to be professional they decided to look at my shots, saying that was the best they could do at this time. This was before they saw the pictures. After they looked at them I got a phone call saying that although they initially weren't going to be able to take me, that my shots were so great they were going to make an exception and make room!  So I wound up being signed by them after all. Other people's reaction seems to be equally impressive, but most importantly, I finally feel excited and proud to hand over my headshot. The reason I decided on Kevyn was because every time I mentioned to someone that I might shoot with him, I would hear another story about how they or someone they knew shot with Kevyn, and it had the best decision they'd made for their career. People raving about getting called in for everything, getting representation,etc.. all stories about the shots WORKING when they had previously been people who like myself had almost given up hope that great shots were in their future. So now I can consider myself among the lucky ones who found Kevyn and am now reaping all the benefits of a great headshot.  Janna

Dear Kevyn,  THANK YOU for changing my career. It's been two weeks since I shot with you, and only one week since I began sending out my new headshots. Since then, I've been offered to sign with two talent agencies, have auditioned for a movie, TV pilot, and have booked two small movie roles. All because of my headshot. It's absolutely incredible.  How can I thank you for not only making the shoot fun, but for making me look my best and in turn jump starting my career? You're the best, absolutely, hands-down.  Best wishes to you, Michele, Ladi, Wendy and the entire gang.  - Jordanna

The people at Alexia Robinson said that you do great work and that you were highly recommended    Dyanna V

HI there Mr.Kevin,
Angelo Lobo here. I hope all is well with you.How is the good old game of golf treating you? If I am right your shooting better than before. As for myself I have been working on student films and still plugging away. I need COLOR head shots & I saw you portofolio again and MAN are YOU the MAN! Please reply when you can so we can get together. Kind Regards,  Angelo

I just wanted to say I'm really excited to be working with you again. My headshots were awesome last time, but now that my hair is longer, and I'm 2 years older, it's time to refresh. I just have one question. Is it possible to focus mainly on 3/4 shots? That has been my main comment during auditions- I LOVE the shots I'm using, but c. directors and agents say I need to show more of my body in the pics. so they can get a clear idea of my appearance. Thanks - Danielle
PS- I recommended you to Julien F,  and his pictures turned out GREAT!! You are the best.

Hi! I made the big move out here from Bronx, New York with my headshot, resume and full steam to make my career goals a reality:)...  Recently meet with Mike Eisenstadt and he advised me that my headshot needs to be POPPIN! He recommended you... from what I see, I'm already a happy girl! :)  Lily A

I love Michael Taggart's shots - very impressive   Isabel Arias

I love the time and care you put into your photos.  I need new picture badly my headshots now look like a high school year book photo.  Please contact me so I can make an appointment.  Thanks!  Dawn

I saw what you did for me friend mary and i could not believe how well you were able to capture here.  I was so incredulous when she told me about here shoot, becuse everybody thinks their fotographer is the best. But you are really something...  My agent wants me to get new head shots and I am shopping around.  I have not been able to find someone that can really capture my essence.  Hope to hear from you soon.   John R

Well, How many times can I say thank you???? Sarah's headshots are fantastic!!! Our manager in NYC saw both the b&w and the color and she told me "Bring on the color, NYC is about to change" Every single person who has seen Sarah's headshot has been blown away. When we come back to LA, I'll be sure to have my son's and my husband's headshots done with you. I'm running out of biz cards 'cuz I'm giving them away like candy. Everyone wants to know how to find you, so I finally put up at post at my daughter's site for you. Thanks again, and I'll be making an order for more pics before we leave for NYC. Thank you thank you thank you!!! All the best and we'll keep you posted. Melissa C

I'm an Executive Producer with 20 years of experience, currently looking into the possibilities of making it in L.A.  I thought an interesting way of getting people to remember me, was to get pictures made, that might show my crazy & humourous side in an otherwise very stern face. I was intrigued by the portrait of you in "The Human Face" and your ability to use your natural garage-light...    Best Regards    Morten

My name is Gina Pero, I met you through Roger Francis shooting "Hollywood Nights."  Since then I have been very very busy but I have not forgotten about you and your talent.  I am interested in getting my pictures done very soon and I wanted to know if you could do them and how much etc.  You had said you would shoot me and I was very honored.  I saw your web sight and I commend you on all of your success.  Your work is absolutely terrific.  I would love to set something up with you and your amazing talent.  I hope you remember me!  Take care and I look forward to hearing from you.  Thanks Kevyn.   Gina P

NAME: Pierre Rivera
SHOOT DATE: 4/18/04
EXPERIENCE: The shoot went really well. The pictures looked like me, the lighting was amazing, and I got tons of pictures I can use. Having seen other photographers' pricing structures and pictures, Kevyn is definitely a great deal. So many pictures, different looks, different outfits. Kevyn really stands head and shoulders above other photographers...   I'll definitely shoot with Kevyn again! 

Saw a friend's shots that you did and thought they were great...looking to update my own shots, so I'm doing some research - I like your stuff, so I'll be calling!  thx, sgh

Your photography is both beautiful and real, and the quality of your work speaks for itself. But even more impressive to me are the countless glowing reviews I've heard and read from actors, models, agents, managers, casting directors and others in the know. It's obvious that your dynamic approach, and in turn actors and models who shoot with you, are working!   Anthony C

I am looking for actor headshots.  You are fabulous!!   sue

NAME: Jeff Ellingson
SHOOT DATE: March 30
EXPERIENCE: I had so much fun shooting!  Everyone was amazing.  My agent was freaking out when she saw the proofs!  These are my best headshots ever.  I hope no one shoots with KMH because then I'll get all the auditions and everyone at KMH will call me to hang out because they're lonely.

Hi!  I was looking for headshot photographers and came across your site.  I have taken headshots in Chicago, as that is where I work, however my agency says that I look prettier in real life and my pictures do not show how hip and cute I am, whatever that means.  I am gradually transitiong to LA by the end of the year and trying to get headshots that will satisfy my LA agency.  I would like to fly out to LA for a photo shoot with kevyn.   Thank you,   Susan

I am an aspiring Actress who would like to very much get started in the movie buisness, I had headshots done about a week ago and they are alright. But what I really wanted was for my shots to look like the ones on your website, they are outstanding. Please take my inquiry and please be in contact, I live in the San Francisco area and would love to come down for you to do my new headshots.  I hope to hear from you very soon!  Marie

I love my pictures...they are exactly what I was looking for......I have been wasting my time at other photographers and am glad I finally found someone who could photograph the real me.  Thanks so much.   Shawna

I love how you put the face and eyes at the center of photo giving it a humbler more homey look and feeling. I have not ever had a professional headshot to send to agents or auditions, and am very interested in your work.   Lisa W

I can't express how happy and impressed I am with the job you did on these headshots. They look INCREDIBLE and REAL, not touched up. Please go ahead and print these. Can I have the retouched photos on my CD instead of the raw ones? Or can they be included? Please let me know. Thank you so much for the hard work.  Steven Allerick

Here's a story inspired by your photo of Harley ....  Joe
It has been observed that we can recognize five thousand faces. I suspect that assumes that the faces have not been altered by Botox, the surgeon's knife, or any age defying procedure. I recently looked at a series of my passport photos at ten year intervals for forty years. I must confess that I was hard pressed to recognize myself in my early twenties. Was that me? Who was I back then? What was I thinking? I have read letters and poems I wrote back then. The pulse of the thoughts and cadence of my emotions seem to be the only unbroken thread between me now and then. A professional photograph happened to notice my St. Bernard "Harley" in the car and was moved to capture his photograph. Harley is a very senior dog now, yet his beauty beams as profoundly as his puppy photos. However, the enduring continuity is his gentle loving kindness. I think the expression, "beauty is only skin deep" is flawed. In this season of self-reflection, I feel compelled to resuscitate the gift of discerning the beauty beneath the skin, the beauty that endures.
