Portraits

I absolutely love how my headshots came out! David captured my personality flawlessly in the headshots, showcasing both professionalism and warmth. David's attention to detail and expertise in photography created stunning images that exceeded my expectations. He will make you feel very comfortable behind the camera and tell you exactly how to pose. He also returned my edited headshots very quickly. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking professional headshots!

David is a great photographer. I came in for a professional headshot, which he was able to turn around to me three days after the session. He created a good studio experience, guiding me and helping me look my best. He talked me through the editing process, which I really appreciated. The final product turned out beautiful and I couldn't be happier!

I highly recommend David Arellano for your photography needs. I went to David to get a head shot for a magazine article. He is very professional and provides a great detail of attention to appropriate clothing attire and how it lays for the picture. He is extremely easy to work with and provides clear instructions and suggestions to get the best the photo shot. I am impressed with the pictures that David took and his minor postproduction editing. The magazine staff were able to easily upload the pictures. I feel lucky and am very pleased that I choose David for this photo assignment. I am sure you will have a similar experience. David is an incredibly talented photographer. Five-star rating!

On a recent visit home in Dallas visiting my family, my four year old daughter had an amazing photoshoot with David. We had been working with a modeling agency back in New York, who suggested that we needed a different type of quality of photos other than the ones we had submitted.Rather than paying that NY model portfolio photographer prices I wanted to find a more reasonable priced option. And let me say David and his studio exceeded my expectations. Not to mention the expectations of the NY agency. They were very impressed with the quality and overall look of his images. Because of David's work my daughter has been signed with one of the top modeling agencies in New York!!!I highly recommend and stand behind David's work. Very professional and the dressing room has everything you could ever need for a successful shoot. We will definitely be back!

David has a great full fledged studio and is definitely an expert at what he does. Within 10 minutes, we were able to find the perfect lighting and a good pose and expression for my professional headshot. He did a great job on the touch ups and sent the images within just a few hours. Overall, he's friendly, the studio is very well equipped with all you'd need and he's incredibly efficient and quick. Highly recommend.

To anyone who’s looking for a top-notch and professional studio for any type of photoshoot (headshot, fashion, etc), this is hands down the BEST place you could possibly go to. David is the sweetest person and is extremely talented. He literally works magic behind the camera and his work is phenomenal!I’ve done several professional photoshoots before, but nothing compares to the experience and the way the photos turned out from David. Words can’t justify how creative he is and how amazing the photos turned out. I would definitely recommend Carmel Studios to anyone!

Carmel Studios is by far the most best studio I have ever worked in -David is welcoming and professional with a lovely interactive personality and the actual space itself is stunning and fully equipped with large bathrooms, dressing room (with a professional make up table, mirrors and amenities) and a large photography space. David has a lot of experience and offers suggestions and direction in a calm yet authorized manner creating a sense of being in the most capable hands. I will look forward to working with David again - hopefully in the near future!
