Professional Portrait Photographer Jarod Opperman

  • I appreciate you taking the time to look at all this! I’ve spent almost 20 years as a professional photographer, but being a Phoenix portrait photographer is genuinely the thing I love to do most. Getting to devise an idea, plan the ideal lighting, and then collaborate with somebody else to make them look their best is such a unique experience. My portraits of individuals gives me an opportunity to connect with someone in a way I wouldn’t get to without my career in portraiture. I feel lucky to have been able to do this in Arizona for as long as I have and I hope I can keep making portrait photos of people here for a long time.

    Whether you are looking for corporate headshots, stylized studio portraiture, or environmental portraits, I’m excited to work with you! I’ve got experience working with magazines, newspapers, universities, hospitals, and plenty of other businesses to get them the pictures they need to tell each of their stories.

    I’m comfortable with professional studio lighting, on-location lighting, or just making the absolute best out of natural light to make your portrait photo look its absolute best. Reach out to me through the contact page and let’s start working on something great together!
