The Premier Scottsdale Headshot Photographer

Finally, Headshots You’ll Love.

Portrait of a woman with long, dark hair, wearing a blue sleeveless dress, smiling slightly, photographed against a dark grey background.

"I hate getting my photo taken.” Sound familiar? Almost every headshot you see on this site started with some variation of the words "I don't look good in photos."  The headshots you see here are all real clients, not models paid to make the website look nice. “Should I smile? What do I do with my arms?” You can leave that all up to me. The aim is to create a "quiet luxury" feel to your headshots. Classy, understated, but attention grabbing for all the right reasons. I’ll take away that awkward feeling of not knowing what to do when you’re getting your new headshots. It’s not your job to look good in your headshots, it's my job to help make you look good. Prior to our shoot, you’ll also be sent a preparation PDF with everything you'll need to feel prepared.

“We Wanted To Work with Tony Taafe. He’s The Best Headshot Photographer in the United States in Our Opinion”

Scottsdale Headshots Specialist

Scottsdale's Premier Headshot Photographer. I shoot in my studio located in Old Town Scottsdale, or at your location, office, or workplace. Click on the image above if you have a few minutes to spare, to watch me in my very first (and very nervous) Live TV appearance back in 2018 talk about headshots on FOX 10 Weekend Breakfast Show. I’d like to say i’ve since become an expert at being on camera, but believe me, I understand the nerves!

I feel very lucky that my headshots have taken me from Scottsdale and Los Angeles to all over the US, 46 states so far, and Europe. Over the years i’ve worked with amazing clients who appreciate the value in having the very best headshots and marketing materials I don’t shoot weddings, families, events, etc. that’s not what I’m good at. I’m a headshot specialist. I provide you, whether you’re an individual or part of an organization, the very best headshots, to help position you as the expert and give you an advantage to propel your career and your brand forward.
