Wonderful photographer, who I feel like really captured my essence. He put me at ease immediately, I had a ton of fun and loved how my pictures turned out. They really felt like "me."

An amazing photographer! He has done several pictures for us and they always turn out unbelievable! Very personable and great to work with. People regularly ask, “Who took these amazing pictures?” ...Brian James!

If you are looking for a photographer who can 'sell' you to casting agents then Brian is your man. I've had more casting agents tell me that what they want is a headshot that looks like the person who is auditioning for a part. Many casting agents have told me that my headshots show the 'real me' and the best of me at the same time. The icing on the cake is that Brian is great fun to be with and makes the shoot go fast and easy!

Brian has photographed our family more than once and the photos are fantastic! He came to our home and has a great eye for setting and background. His easy, friendly manner meant that everyone was relaxed with natural smiles and laughs. We all loved the many photos he took and the price was very reasonable! Will definitely use him again!

We had a professional shoot with Brian and he juggled each of us and then in groups. Meanwhile he had to figure out how to do this with a Mom and her toddler who wanted nothing more than to cling to her. Brian was masterful keeping her going while giving instructions to those of us in the shots. Brian was fantastic and so was his work, Thanks again Brian!

Loved working with Brian. Made the experience fun and productive, does not waste any time, and gives lots of good direction. I've taken photos with my kid, and by myself, both experiences were extremely positive. Always on the search for a child photographer who is patient with unpredictable kids and I've found my go to.

We have been using Brian James Photo Studio for several years now, and even travel an hour away for photoshoots (he's that good!). We highly recommend Brian for family photos or headshots. Not only does he capture our family so perfectly in photos every holiday - creating special memories that last a lifetime - but it's a true pleasure working with Brian from start to finish!

Brian did all the photography for my father's wedding. He did an amazing job of getting a mix of candid and posed shots. He made everyone feel so comfortable and really added to the joy of the day. The photos were gorgeous!

Brian James Photography is your best option for Philadelphia headshots. He has state of the art equipment, extensive knowledge of lighting set-ups, and will work with you to get you the look you want. He's personable and makes you feel relaxed and at your best. His studio is nestled away in Chestnut Hill, and you get to play with his dogs in between setups!

I was searching for a professional photographer to do my head shots. Brian James came highly recommended and he exceeded my expectations. I had a 2 hour session with him that generated almost 300 photos. He made me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed which turned out to produce some excellent head shots. He captured the look I was going for which has helped open a lot of doors for my acting career. I loved working with him because he is an excellent photographer and he is a quality human being.

Kari Anna

Brian was wonderful to work with when he took my headshot photos a few years back. We began the session by talking and getting to know each other first which helped make the shoot very fun and comfortable. I would recommend Brian to anyone looking for quality pictures and a quick turnaround!
