TESTIMONIALS

Hi Brian,
Thanks again for all you did for us. Everyone is thrilled
with their new pictures!! I wanted you to see the
email I sent to the rest of the managers in hopes of
getting some more business sent your way! Talk to you
soon...I'm sure there will be more agents wanting new
pictures when they see ours! :)
- Carol Strauss, Deerfield Coldwell Banker
Dear Managers,
If anyone needs new headshots for their agents, we just had
a photographer named Brian Briggs. He was FANTASTIC!!
Unlike anyone we've had before. He takes so much time
with each person,
making sure they are shown in the best light (sorry for the
pun!) and shoots maybe 30 shots of everybody... yet we
stayed pretty much on schedule. He brings an assistant
or two so after your
sitting you go right into a conference room to choose...and
he does amazing retouching. To see the kind of
retouching he does go to www.onsiteheadshots.com. Move your
mouse over the pictures to see the before and afters. I had
a new picture taken and am thrilled with it...it looks like
me...only better!! He is a really nice guy to have
around all day...and very experienced. He does a lot of
work for the Sheridan Road magazine, plus has done
modeling and Hollywood photos. My agents were
thrilled as well. You can contact him from the website
or call me for his cell number.

"I have nothing but the utmost respect for your team's
skills. With Brian's quality of work, and the quality of
the people whom he has chosen to be on his team, I would
without a doubt refer you in an instant!"
- Susan Maman, Coldwell Banker

Brian
understands our profession and delivers details and
results. He “warms” you up by talking about common
experience – in our case, California and the wine country.
Excellent job and painless!
- Linda Martin

Because of all the previous disastrous results, I was
hesitant to have my photo taken. I told Brian, “I take bad
photos” and he said he could touch up all the bad areas. He
worked with me and put me at ease and took at least 20
shots and then put them on the computer screen so that I
could view them all and pick the ones I liked.
I ran a graphic arts studio some years back and have
observed many photographers. I can honestly say Brian is at
the top. He is engaging, professional, and understands
lighting to make you look your best. I didn’t even need
retouching done! I highly recommend him and will gladly
talk to anyone who wishes to call me.
- Bill Avgerin, 847-212-5566

for my headshot. Thank you, Brian!"

much!
- Victoria Love

Brian - you really captured who I am! You made me look
marvelous! Thank you so much!
- Margaret Monaco
Brian was so easy to work with. He made me feel so
comfortable and at ease through the whole shoot. The photos
are amazing. It was hard to choose which was the best.
There were so many great ones. His assistants thought I was
much younger - love that photo!

It was great!
Really easy and nice! Thank you!

be myself.

Great shots! I found my photographer.
- Joe Cunningham
Very professional photo shoot ... and great results!
- Vallerie Castellana
I dreaded having my photograph taken as they make me look
unrecognizable. The end result with Brian is a natural pose
and shows me at my best... especially the twinkle in my
eyes. Thank you, thank you.
- Angela Wood
Great guys to work with - very passionate about their work.
Very considerate of clients needs, wants, and comfort
levels.
- Carolyn Svenson

At a certain age, being photographed is scary....Brian and
his staff made the experience beautiful, including our
headshot. Thanks!
- Pete and JoAnn Zavlaris
Brian and his
crew made an experience I would otherwise avoid, into
a pleasureable experience. And their “eye” and sense
of the purpose of the photo was very insightful.
- Craig Silvestri, Office Manager

I
am so pleased with Brian’s photography. He is an artist and
has an amazing eye for detail. Add his patience and his
terrific professional crew to the mix, and the end result
was excitement - finally - about a new headshot that I
really like and can’t wait to use!
- Marilyn Rich

Gwen Rich Aici, Image Consultant - Image Inside & Out
"Thank you for the headshot for my business. I am extremely
pleased with the final product and what a wonderful
experience, to boot!"

Phil Gayter, Gayter Golianis Advertising
"Having worked in the higher echelons of global
adverdtising (Leo Burnett - London & Chicago; Euro RSCG
Tatham), I am quite particular about the quality of the
photographer with whom I choose to work. It has been my
pleasure to work with Brian Briggs and his team. His
photography is not only a fine finished product, but his
process is enjoyable too. His biggest gift, however, is his
ability to put people at ease no matter how stressed the
situation. That is a true professional."

John Dearlove, President & CEO Innermark, Inc.
"Picture Perfection....Exceptional. Inspirational.
Memorable photographic images that engage and make people
want more! As a former Art Director, Creative Director,
Account Executive, and Ad Agency CEO, I have never worked
with a photographer with more talent, passion, and
consistency despite last minute deadlines or in the face of
seemingly impossible circumstances. When other
photographers say 'no,' you say 'when,' and exceed
expectations. Where others stop, you start and refuse to
stop until it's absolutely right, tweaking the details that
truly make a difference. Yet you always deliver on time or
ahead of difficult deadlines. Your eye, combined with
highly tuned computer skills, makes you destined to deliver
the images that will excel others' good ideas, to great
results...continuously!"

Gary Tillery, Artist
"Working with Brian is an invigorating experience. More
than just technically professional, he is impressive for
his improvisational skills and his intuition about how to
improve a shot that other photographers would be happy to
accept. I recommend him highly."

Joan Reardon, Author
"In a sense he is a magician, and a photo shoot with Brian
Briggs and his experienced staff is a unique experience
that begins with the first conversation with him: 'Who do
you want your viewers, or in my case, your readers, to
know?' he asks. And so I did a little soul-searching, and
decided I wanted my readers to get an idea about not only
how I looked, but also how I related to them as a willing
audience who were ready to read my (book). Would I
recommend Brian Briggs? Definitely yes, yes, and yes again.
It's not only a case of a perfectionist meeting another
perfectionist, or a professional admiring another
professional, it is an endorsement that is sincerely given
from one person who has never had a truely handsome photo
taken, but now knows that it is not only possible, but that
it can be a wonderful experience.

Carole DeBruin, Cover Subject, Forest and Bluff Magazine
"Thanks again for your creative genius. Loved our photos
for Forest-Bluff Magazine. You made the shoot most pleasant
under very trying circumstances."
