I just viewed the Web Gallery from our photo shoot this afternoon. Wow! You did an amazing job! I, for one, had a fabulous time today. I could tell by the look on my daughter's faces that they loved it too. My oldest daughter and I are looking at the Web Gallery tonight. We both think the pictures all turned out beautiful. We had a great time, a lot of fun and many good laughs. You knew how to make us feel relaxed, comfortable, and very beautiful. Thank you so much. We are extremely happy.

I had the pleasure of working with Douglas for pictures I needed for a calendar. I ended up taking the best pictures I have ever taken in my life. He knows exactly what he wants out of the photo, and he knows how to direct you in a gentle manner. I felt very at ease. As we kept taking pictures, I felt more and more comfortable. Douglas is the best photographer I have ever worked with!  He was patient, kind, and encouraging.  Mucho thanks Douglas   ;-)

Douglas combines old fashioned commitment to his craft with contemporary and cutting edge photography. His attention to detail is impeccable, and he has a great eye for what comprises a standout photograph. The results of his work are 100% satisfying. I've had head shots taken by five different professional photographers in my life, and Douglas' work has easily eclipsed that of the others. His prices are super competitive and his technique during shoots is efficient, to say the least. His knowledge of the entertainment industry will help you streamline your approach and strategy for submissions to agents, as well. Chalk it up to his talent, or his experience, but I say it's the two combined that make me so comfortable working with him, and I will continue to go to Douglas for future photo sessions.

It was great working with you today. I found you both professional and personal, which made it easy for me to relax and be myself. It was very important to me to be able to reflect the character I was after... and your tips and guidance on how to get there were spot on. I look forward to working with you again... and you can be sure I will share your contact information with others who are looking for great headshots.

Thanks so much for the great pictures you took! We were in search of a new Theatrical Agent when we did these and at our first interview with Abrams they said: "We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture of Laci"  and they signed her up!  She has her first audition for a Lead in a Feature Film with Katherine-Zeta-Jones next week from the casting agents previewing this picture on line. Our commercial agent which is also Abrams liked the pics too and has booked Laci for her first TV Interstitial with Disney. She got two bookings off of photos since we changed to your pictures too!  Thanks so much!

Over the years I have had three sets of headshots done by diferent photographers - you were my fourth photographer.  It was the first time I felt so at ease and relaxed.  The session was a pleasure, and as a result, I had 44 out of 48 very usable photographs, which made it very difficult to choose just one. Thank you for your professionalism and my great headshots. I will not hesitate to recommend you to friends.

I'm having fun looking at the shoots and I sometimes feel I can't have enough of myself. Anyways even though I was a bit nervous, you made me feel like a VIP. Looking at your work makes me feel good in the aspect of self-steem and it is human nature, that by default, we seek pleasure versus pain. I'm very happy with your work, and after looking at so many bad photos of myself... I never thought I could look this good. Really you have no idea how much this is elevating me, after receiving a major blow to my ego a few years back, this is a step to my long recovery. You really know your work! And it is an art. I'm looking forward to future projects with you. C - U @ 3rd Street promenade.

I had an amazing experience during the shoot, thanks to Douglas' comforting compliments and extraordinary shooting skills, I was able to get the perfect shot (out of many). Every picture came out "Picture Perfect" and I hope everyone gets a chance to take pictures with Mr. Nelson because you'll definetly be satisfied! thank you again!!!
- Ivana Rojas, Actor

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for taking such awesome photos of me. You truly brought out a side of me that I never thought I had. You brought out my natural beauty and made me appreciate myself more. I would recommend Douglas M. Nelson to everyone who is looking for a professional photographer to take their headshots. I had the opportunity to work with him today...which was the first time with a professional photographer taking my pictures. At first, I was a little nervous...But, after he was done and I was able to see the results, I was very thrilled and happy of how it turned out. All of the pictures he took were the work of a real artist (no lie)! Take it from somebody that has worked with him...If you want your pictures to turn out GREAT, go to Douglas! He will take care of you the way he took care of me. I guarantee you that you will not regret it...because he knows what he's doing!
- Laicah T. Castillo, Actor

I would highly recommend using Douglas' photography services to anyone who needs high quality photos at a more-than-fair price. My daughters & I left the studio with proofsheets, a web gallery, and smiles on our faces...after an unhurried session, in which, Douglas went above and beyond the required duties of photographer...lending a helping hand with their wardrobe, giving us suggestions on choosing the shots, and generally creating a great working atmosphere.  We couldn't have asked for more.

I was very happy to have finally found a professional Portrait/Headshot photographer on the westside. I have 2 small children and driving them to Hollywood wasn't an option, so finding Douglas was a blessing. He not only made the photo shoot a painless experience, but my shy 18 month old really opened up and gave us dozens of expressions. I couldn't even decide which one to pick, each shot is amazing. I would recommend Douglas in a heartbeat...and will be bringing my children back.

This marks the fourth time in several years that I have used Douglas as my headshot photographer. I find his approach to be very artistic. He takes care in his lighting and use of backdrops. I have also noticed that he is constantly upgrading his photographic equipment to better serve his clients. I know that when I need headshots in the future, I will not hesitate to give Douglas another call...
- Al Taylor, Actor

Douglas thank you so much for the wonderful shots and the time and attention you gave me during my shoot. Your skill, patience and personality allowed me to be comfortable and focused. The shots are just what I wanted. Thank you for your extra time. Thanks again...
- Robert Wagner, Actor

- Chantalle Goldstein, Actor

I found that shooting with Douglas was easy because I could see that he cared. He is excited about his work, and is thoroughly professional. He truly cared about lighting details and, in general, with the whole shooting environment. I came out looking good because he cared.
