I cannot recommend Andrej enough - he is incredibly talented and a consummate professional. He tailors the photographs to your exact requirements - but improved anything that I could have thought of with his experience and abilities. He makes you feel immediately at your ease and the whole package was enjoyable and productive - I couldn't believe how quickly he captured the images I needed and he was prompt to deliver the final results too. Absolutely brilliant!

If you are looking for a great head shot Photographer then Captivating Headshots is the place to go. Andrej was brilliant, he made me feel very comfortable, confident and at ease during the shoot. I have had many headshots over the years but the quality of these shots far outweighs my previous. Not only was Andrej a pleasure to work with, he has extremely good directing skills, helping me hugely in getting the pictures I requested. Extremely impressed, could not recommend him any higher.

I needed new headshots doing and as there are so many photographer's that specialise in that field, recommendations are priceless. I spoke to several friends and Andrej Valko's name was mentioned alot. From the moment we met, I was made to feel comfortable and he gave me an element of confidence that I'd never had when having headshots done. He made the shoot fun but at the same time was truly professional. I couldn't recommend his services enough & will definitely use him again. Top photographer & Top man.

I thoroughly recommend Andrej. I needed headshots of my 14 year old daughter and chose Andrej after looking at his impressive website. The photos were taken in our garden and he very quickly put Emily at ease and made the session fun and relaxed. The photos are stunning and he captured her different expressions perfectly. He is a lovely, kind and patient man and delivers an extremely professional service from start to finish. Thank you Andrej for giving Emily a head start in her future career.

Recently worked with Andrej V and I have to say I really enjoyed myself. He was very clear in his instructions, Andrej V made me feel completely comfortable, I felt he opened me up and helped me be in the moment with my images. We both shared our own ideas and created some excellent shots. I very highly recommend Andrej V, as I think anyone working with Andrej V will be totally happy with the results.

I usually cant be bothered to give feed back, Ill just tell you but I think this time I have to allow others to know what theyre missing out on. The journey was absolutely worth every second of the day and experience. Extremely professional, innovative, creative and helpful during the session. Going beyond call of duty to create comfort and convenience for me. A photographer that offers both quality and quantity.
