"We finally have the photos we feel reflect the quality of our business..." |
|
"As the owner of a Perkolate Design, I realized the importance of having professional corporate headshots to complete a polished corporate image. After going to a run-of-mill photography studio for our headshots in the past, I was disappointed. When I saw Wayne Wallace's work, I knew he would be the perfect photographer in getting our corporate image across through his style of taking corporate headshots. I was correct.... the difference in artistic quality and professionalism in his photos is very apparent. With Wayne's corporate headshots, we finally have the photos we feel reflect the quality of our business and speak to our clients. We highly recommend him! " -- Michael Gazzano Perkolate Design |

"I am totally satisfied with the results..." |
|
"After ten years out of 'the business', I've decided to return. The first step was to have new headshots, but 'who to choose?' My previous photographer is no longer available, a friends' recommendation didn't respond, so I simply 'googled'. Wayne popped up, I loved the work he displayed, my search need to go no further. Wayne was quick to respond, listened to what I wanted, and didn't try to 'sell' me anything that I didn't need. He sounded personable and charismatic on the phone and he brought that fun with him to the shoot. I felt completely relaxed and comfortable, as though we'd known each other for years. Wayne's work truly is terrific and I am totally satisfied with the results. I will make no hesitation in recommending him to others." -- Clare Jaget |

I was nervous, and Wayne made me feel like I was hanging out with a close friend that I could be myself with. I think he brought out my personality. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be! " -- Conner |

"Eexactly what I had hoped for..." |

"For myself, the idea of sitting for a portrait is less then pleasant. Wayne did a great job of making the entire process fun and, more importantly, effective. The collaborative environment Wayne created delivered two portraits that were exactly what I had hoped for." -- Scott Whitney Listen to Scott's audio testimonial by clicking

A million thanks to you Wayne! You are truly outstanding!
Oh my goodness! I am so very blown away! I could
not possibly be any more impressed! I feel so very
fortunate to have found Wayne and not your typical
photographer. Wayne is a creative artist and innovatively
creates the perfect “shot” each time from nothing.
Artistic and technical – that is so very rare.
Wayne Wallace is such an incredible talent. He so enjoys
the work that he does. It was an absolute pleasure from
beginning to end and an experience that will always be so
memorable. I had so much fun and I remember thinking that
I didn’t want it to end.
As a business professional myself, I know that I have
high expectations of other professionals. Wayne certainly
exceeded my expectations and his attention to detail
shows in every aspect of his business. He kept his
commitment and then some. A true professional knows that
their name really is on everything they do.
I have to say that when I first saw my slideshow – I was
completely overwhelmed. Well, I still am. To think that
these are the “unretouched” versions seems incredible
enough so to think that they could possibly get better or
improved upon seems unbelievable.
I remember laughing at the term “celebrity headshot” as
if I could possibly qualify as a “celebrity” but now I
truly feel like one. I must be some kind of celebrity
with photos like these that seem to belong in a
“portfolio” of some kind.
So how can one possibly select the best shots when they
are all great? It was crazy so I had to ask friends and
family to assist me and it took days. Wayne captured who
I really am. He knew how to do that and he brought out my
personality with honest and natural expressions. That is
a talent.
As a businessman, he has perfected the entire viewing and
ordering process to provide information to educate his
clients along with step by step instructions for making
the process completely effortless. He has all the bases
covered with his beautiful and effective websites. What
more could you want?
So I will be referring everyone I know to Wayne for the
very best experience and a chance to feel like a
celebrity. I know that those who see my photos will be so
impressed they will insist on contacting Wayne.
It was fun. I had nothing to worry about, just leave it
to Wayne, the professional.
A million thanks to you Wayne! You are truly outstanding!

How did I get to be so lucky to have my head shots taken by Wayne Wallace?
From the minute I met Wayne I knew that my
experience with him would produce great shots for my
professional singing and budding acting career. He
immediately put me at ease by asking me many questions. I
knew he was feeling out what it was I was looking for and
what he could put into it to make my photographs unique.
I knew, after years as a professional, that he was
getting as much information about me that he could, in a
small window of time, so that he could translate the
power of who I am to film. Somewhat like what an artist
does before filling his canvas with paint.
His questions opened the way to making me feel
comfortable with him and his camera. He opened the way
for working together "with" me to create some pretty
fabulous head shots. He gathered materials from his
spacious studio that created textures and colors that
created the backdrop to bringing out my personality on
film. He is truly an artist. Even better, in my opinion,
he is an artists artist.
The time and care he takes in making you feel comfortable
and creating the background unique to your photo session
is indicative of someone who obviously loves what they
do. His technical knowledge by way of his highly
professional website, his super duper large screen Mac
computers, his super fast (see the shots right away)
software programs and punctual web delivery is
extraordinary. It has been my pleasure to work with Wayne
Wallace. I certainly will advise my show business
colleagues to call Wayne when they need photos taken to
further their professional careers. He rocks! I've
already planned to see him again later this year for an
outdoor shoot. How does it get any better than that? --

Wayne offered lots of information before the session, but
was most helpful during the session. He spent time
chatting and getting to know me, rather than just jumping
right in. He explained the procedure and answered any
questions I had.
It was impossible for me to only choose a few from the many great photos Wayne captured!
I had been putting off getting my headshots done
for a while, until I found Wayne. As an amateur
photographer, I love taking photos, but was nervous about
what to expect from a professional photo session with me
as the subject. What should I wear? How should I pose?
Should I smile, not smile, etc?
Wayne offered lots of information before the session, but

When it came time to shoot, I was still slightly unsure,
but Wayne quickly put me at ease, leading me through each
scene with great direction and humor. After a few
minutes, everything came naturally, and the remainder of
the session was a breeze. The best part was seeing the
end result. It was impossible for me to only choose a few
from the many great photos Wayne captured. I look forward
to working with him again soon. Thanks Wayne!
I was nervous about having my headshots done, but Wayne made me feel so comfortable.

I suggest you use Wayne Wallace. That alone is worth the trip to Vegas.
"Wayne has a knack. Better yet ... a gift. He can work the lighting and the angles and get that right, but some way or another he also can figure out how to find you...how to pull you out so that you show up in your photos. He's good. If you're looking for a headshot that will jump off a page and get people's attention, then I suggest you use Wayne Wallace. That alone is worth the trip to Vegas." -- Jim McMahon
Wayne’s easygoing approach, along with complete professionalism, allowed me to relax …
"As a songwriter I needed a portrait photographer that would give me an image that would stand out with presence and naturalness. Until I did the session with Wayne it has always been a challenge for me to get a photo I liked and showed me in a good light. Wayne’s easygoing approach, along with complete professionalism, allowed me to relax and get the pictures I need. I look forward to another session in the near future." -- Michael Joy
As for the dating site, I'm not on it anymore, thanks to Wayne's wonderful pictures.
"Wayne took some pictures of me for an online dating site back in April, 2005. The shoot went very well. As a result of the comfortable atmosphere, and his affable personality, some great shots were taken. I was very pleased with my photos, so much so that I gave my mother a print of me for a Mother's Day gift, which she loved. As for the dating site, I'm not on it anymore, thanks to Wayne's wonderful pictures. I found someone special, and I'm convinced that Wayne played an important role in me meeting my boyfriend." -- Jennifer
Wayne captured images of myself that were better than I've ever seen before…
"Wayne was great! I absolutely dread having to take any kind of photo of myself but Wayne made me feel really comfortable and excited about the process. With a meticulous and personalized touch he captured images of myself that were better than I've ever seen before; a true creative professional who didn't rush me through the session and put me in the state like I was modeling for a high-end magazine!" --Michael Summers
His work is artistically sound, but it also had the intimate, human quality…
"I spent a lot of time looking for a photographer for my son. As soon as I discovered Wayne Wallace, I knew that I had found the best. His work is artistically sound, but it also had the intimate, human quality I was looking for. Working with him was the same; he was dedicated to perfecting composition and lighting, but at the same time, the interaction between him and my son was spontaneous and joyful." -- Lisa (Conner's Mother)
His creative eye far surpasses that of an average photographer…
"I have worked with Wayne on several photo shoots and he has been the consummate professional. His creative eye far surpasses that of an average photographer and in turn what he is able to develop thru the eyes of the lens is always top of the line." -- Jamie
His booking and online proofing systems were easy-to-use and worked like a charm.
Wayne was a real pleasure to work with: right from the beginning he was professional while remaining very flexible. His booking and online proofing system was easy-to-use and worked like a charm.

Wayne made me feel like I was hanging out with a close friend…

Wayne captured the magic of our celebration; giving us photos that will help us keep our memories alive forever.
"My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding
anniversary December 2007 in Las Vegas and we were
blessed to have Wayne there to capture our magical
moments together. We started our celebration in the
morning with Wayne doing a photo session. We were not
sure what to expect since this was our first portrait
together. Our nervousness did not last long. Wayne was
just incredible. He was very professional and yet at the
same time, down to earth. He attended to all our needs
and concerns. He listened to our thoughts about the photo
session while gently directing us in a fashion to bring
out the very best in us. He was able to get us to relax
immediately, making our photo session a wonderful
experience and better yet, the photos that came from the
session exceeded all our expectations.
Through it all, Wayne captured the magic of our
celebration, giving us photos that will help us keep our
memories alive forever. Thank you, Wayne." -- Mark and
Linda Borland

Wayne was the best photography experience we have ever had!
"Working with Wayne was the best photography experience we have ever had! We were nervous at first, not knowing if our intent was conveyed. (We were looking for romantic and sexy but classy photos). The instant we met Wayne, all our nerves were calmed and the entire shoot was such a blast! He knew exactly what we wanted and gave us better pictures than we could have ever imagined!! Wayne is truly the best at what he does.... we only wish we lived closer so that we could use his incredible talents more often." - Stacey & Michael
We received tons of compliments at our reception

Again, thank you so much for capturing our special day for us. Josh and I never dreamed our pictures would turn out so well, and truly capture "us." Our experience working with you was exceptional from booking, to photographing, to ordering. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! " -- Nicole
He takes creative risks. He is visionary
"Most memorable during each photoshoot I've modelled was Wayne's passion for furthering his skillset, along with a confluence of positive disposition and radiating warmth. He thinks outside the box. He takes creative risks. He is visionary in capturing a facet of our world that a pedestrian observer can miss. Unlike the recreational weekend photographer pursuing a beautiful picture, Wayne's work possess the full range of thegritty to the ethereal, a juxtaposition only few can conceive." -- Ashton
My experience of Wayne, has been nothing but full of enthusiasm, energy and professionalism.
"My experience of Wayne, has been nothing but full of enthusiasm, energy and professionalism. ... I met him through a photography group he ran and the students all benefited from his words of wisdom and guidance. ... It is clearly a craft that comes from his heart and soul, as he injects all he can into the projects he takes on. ...On a dedication angle alone, I believe he has much to offer the Institute and I endorse his talent and commitment without reservation." -- Tracey
When he tackles a project you can expect Wayne to do whatever it takes.
"His drive for creating great art, his ability to think creatively and his willingness to do what it takes and make “it” happen all speaks to Wayne’s capabilities. I have seen Wayne go “all out” when he has a goal. I do not perceive Wayne as attending the Institute with reservations or with mild interest. When he tackles a project you can expect Wayne to do whatever it takes. He has great ambition and drive something that is rare." -- Bruce
Let me tell you that your portfolio blew me away.
"let me tell you that your portfolio blew me away. Your nature pictures I particularly enjoyed and when I scrounge up some money I want to buy some prints from you. ... well by looking at your nature pictures you have done more than just capture the beauty...you know the expression a picture is worth a thousand words. Well when I looked at those I was so amazed, a thousand words doesn't do them justice I was. .. I just had to tell you you are doing fantastic work." -- Steve
For 8 hours Mr. Wallace demonstrated enthusiasm, creativity and patience
"One of my first photo shoots was with Mr. Wallace and the energy that surrounded him could not be overlooked. For 8 hours Mr. Wallace demonstrated enthusiasm, creativity and patience which gave me the impression that he completely respects the field. I have worked with a few different photographers but the eagerness to learn more about photography as an art could not be displayed more than by Mr. Wallace ...., he is a genuinely wonderful person. The characteristics that come to mind when describing his personality are caring, honest and easy to get along with." -- Michele

I am impressed with Wayne's keen eye for beauty and his unique creativity
"I am impressed with Wayne's keen eye for beauty and his unique creativity. During the photo shoot he created the perfect balance of professionalism and relaxation. He was working with a woman who normally felt very nervous in front of a camera. He put her so at ease, she didn't want the session to end." -- Joanna
Wayne is able to capture endless variations of mood and feel in his subject matter
"Wayne has a distinctive and energetic 'street' or 'everyman's' flair, which is tempered by a vision for color theory far more refined than a novice academic foundation would belie. However, despite a significant basic style, Wayne is able to capture endless variations of mood and feel in his subject matter with instinctive skill in light treatment and composition. His ability to make models feel at ease is also readily apparent in his shots." -- Mel
