Rez Behnam — St. Louis’s Headshot Specialist
For over 15 years, Rez Behnam has been the headshot photographer that St. Louis professionals trust when their image matters. Attorneys preparing for partnership. Executives refreshing their LinkedIn. Real estate agents building their brand. Entrepreneurs launching something new.
What makes Rez different isn’t just the lighting or the technical skill — it’s how the session feels. Relaxed. Conversational. Pressure-free. Rez has a natural ability to put people at ease, which is why his clients walk away looking confident and genuine rather than stiff and staged.
Most clients admit they came in nervous. Almost all of them leave surprised by how much they like their photos. That’s not an accident — it’s 15 years of learning exactly how to bring out the best in every person who sits in front of his camera.

Individual sessions, corporate team photography, acting headshots, and personal branding portraits — all at our studio on Gravois Ave or on-site at your location across greater St. Louis.
Business and Corporate Headshots St Louis
Your LinkedIn profile picture is the first thing a client, recruiter, or potential partner sees. It should communicate who you are in a fraction of a second. Rez specializes in clean, modern, confidence-forward headshots built for LinkedIn, company websites, press features, marketing materials, and business cards. No stiff poses. No awkward smiles. Just you, at your best.
Personal Branding Portraits
For entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, and thought leaders who need more than a standard headshot. These sessions are built around your story, your brand, and your personality — creating a library of images for your website hero, social media, keynote bios, and media features.
Acting Headshots St Louis

What makes our studio different?
| You’ll Actually Look Natural |
| The number one complaint people have about headshots is that they look stiff, forced, or like a different person. Rez’s relaxed, conversational style fixes that. He coaches you through genuine expressions and natural posture — not poses that feel like poses. |
| Headshots Are All We Do |
| Rez doesn’t shoot weddings on weekends and headshots on Tuesdays. This studio does one thing: professional portraits. That specialization means better results, a faster process, and a photographer who has seen every lighting challenge, skin tone, and nervous client imaginable. |
| Same-Day Image Selection |
| You don’t leave wondering if the photos were any good. You review your images on a large monitor right after your session, choose your favorites, and know exactly what’s coming. No waiting weeks. No unpleasant surprises. |
| Retouching That Still Looks Like You |
| Every selected image is hand-retouched by Rez — not outsourced, not automated. The goal is always the same: remove distractions, not character. Softer lines. Cleaner skin. Brighter eyes. You, polished — not you, unrecognizable. |
| Open 7 Days a Week |
| Your schedule is busy. The studio is open every day of the week, with easy online booking through Acuity. Lock in your session in under two minutes, without a phone-tag marathon. |

Pre-Session Consultation-

Your Studio Session

Same-Day Image Review
Right after your session, you sit down with Rez and review your images on a large monitor. You pick your favorites before you leave. No wondering, no waiting — you know exactly what’s been selected.
Retouched & Delivered in 24 Hours
