HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHER

DAVID ARNOLD

I'm David Arnold, the dedicated headshot photographer and owner of David Arnold Photo + Film. With over 30 years behind the camera, my passion found its true calling in headshot photography about a decade ago. The art of capturing a person's essence and brand in a single shot is what drives me.

I've witnessed the evolution of photography from the black and white film era to the vibrant world of digital. When I started, headshots were simpler, undefined by the trends of the internet. This journey has been both fun and transformative, especially seeing the headshot evolve into a powerful career tool.

I take pride in starting many actors and models on their paths to success. To me, a headshot is the first step towards new opportunities – it can open doors and change lives. At David Arnold Photo + Film, we're not just taking pictures; we're capturing your potential. Let's create the shot that changes everything for you.
