I recently had photos taken by Ryuji at Baupix Studio. It was a great experience and I would recommend him to anyone. I went in with the delicate task of getting a good shot for dating websites... I was pretty embarrassed. Ryuji made me feel very comfortable and he knew just what I was after - a shot that made me look my best but not too polished! He was also very patient while I went through the grueling exercise of choosing my favorite shot. Brilliant idea, why not put your best face out there!

Everything I read in the reviews was absolutely true. Ryuji is professional, interested and a master photographer. Not sure how easy it is to make a first time subject (me) relax and look good, but he pulled off the impossible. I was uncomfortable and embarrassed upon going, but I began to relax and actually enjoy myself (I got to play movie star for the day). We took great care choosing the photos I came home with, he was so patient as I hemmed and hawed about which I liked best. Then he touched them up perfectly - they look good, but not overly polished. It was such a nice afternoon, and I came home with some great shots. Thank you Ryuji!

I needed a corporate head shot for a new job that I was starting. So I googled "Head shot Photography Boston" and Ryuji was one of the first results.

I looked at a number of different options but eventually settled on Beaupix. I was impressed with how much information his website contained on head shot photography. He had tons of sample head shot pictures and even a video with background information. He seemed to really care about his craft and I got the impression that he had a deep knowledge of his subject matter.

Meeting him in person reinforced this feeling. I asked a simple question about lighting and I got an encyclopedia of knowledge in response. I had no idea that so much thought went into lighting a picture. He could talk you about the different purposes of each light and how certain lighting combinations could emphasis particular emotional states like coming across as smart or friendly!

A business group asked me for a portrait and all I had on hand were snapshots and random candids. So after searching online and reading reviews I chose Beaupix. Unlike other places I researched, Ryuji's website was very detailed and had helpful tips so I felt well-prepared for the session. At my request he booked a makeup artist (Rose) who met me at the studio and she stayed throughout the shoot and adjusted my hair and makeup as needed. I felt like a celebrity!

Then he took plenty of shots in each of my outfits (Ryuji, Rose and I even discussed the pros and cons of my outfits before getting started) and afterwards we selected the best proofs. Watching him touch up the final proofs was amazing but ultimately it was the undivided attention, careful detail, and friendly but professional atmosphere that inspired this review.

Of course the pictures are excellent - these portraits will be useful for a long time, but when it's time to update my look it'll definitely be at Beaupix.

I recently had a fotoshooting at Beaupix Studio. I went there for two headshots one for business purposes and the other one for private purposes. Ryuji created a relaxed and professional atmosphere, grasped my wants quickly and made pictures I am very happy with.

Had a great experience working with Ryuji on headshots (Corporate & Casual). He creates a very relaxed and easy environment to work in and shooting the photos was a pleasure. He listens closely to what the client says s/he wants and is very knowledgeable about how to create that effect. He is very thoughtful and careful and takes the extra time to get a great finished product - whether in setting up the shot or in retouching it. I am thrilled with the photos that were taken and would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Maybe you are like me and shy away from the camera. I decided to treat myself for my birthday, and finally capture myself in a better light and get over this fear of the camera. Ryuji was exactly what I needed. Setting up the appointment was very fast, I contacted him on Friday and had an appointment by Sunday afternoon. When I arrived, he instantly made me feel relaxed, serving me calming jasmine tea and putting on soothing music. Even though I had no idea what I wanted, Ryuji patiently listened to my indecisiveness and deciphered exactly what I was looking for. Ryuji was very generous with his time, as we carefully weeded through the shots to pick out the best images. Its very hard to judge images of yourself, but Ryuji was very helpful adding insight and perspective that only comes with experience. Thanks Beaupix, I can't wait to come back in the spring for some outdoor shots.

It was a great pleasure having Ryuji taking my headshot that I am now able to use for various reasons (like online networking sites). He made it a simple process to shoot and I was really comfortable the whole time (my first photo shoot). He was helpful in deciding which shots were better than others and then was able to make the appropriate touch-ups to make the final look very high quality. I definitely will use his services again not only for headshots but for events if the opportunity comes again soon.

I am a local business leader in the Education sector. After researching multiple photographers and reviewing their websites, profiles and background I made the choice to use Beaupix studio for the headshots and portfolio photos I was looking to create. I chose Ryuji because of his depth and understanding of all the intricacies it takes to create a spectacular photo. His understanding and use of lighting, position, and intuitive feel for the end result was invaluable. Going into the process, I explained to Ryuji that I had two very different looks to create from the session. Ryuji took the time on several occasions to help me walk through what I wanted to end outcome to be and how we were going to accomplish this under his guidance and direction. In addition, during the photo session, he was thorough with his questions and provided feedback along the way that helped me to feel comfortable with the entire process.

The outcome of the photos was more than I expected. I appreciated the time Ryuji took to make sure I had the specific feel and vibe I was looking to create with my photos. I would highly recommend Ryuji and his studio to anyone looking for a quality, rich and thorough photo experience.

Great Pix, Great Experience

I needed a portrait for business purposes so after searching online for a portrait studio I chose Beaupix and was glad I did. First, Rose, the makeup artist, met me there as scheduled and she even stayed throughout the shoot to adjust my hair and makeup as needed. I felt like a celebrity!

Ryuji and I discussed the kind of 'message' my portrait should convey then he took plenty of shots to ensure a good variety and together we chose the final proofs. Then he immediately set about working his Photoshop magic. He really gives you undivided attention and wants you to enjoy the process. The retouching went very well, resulting in two excellent photographs (I wanted to be in two different suits) in formats suitable for framed portraits, press releases and the web.

Thank you, Beaupix, for a great session and the excellent pix --- hope to see you again!

Ryuji Suzuki is the kind of photographer you want to work with: impeccably skilled and professional, yet friendly, low-pressure and flexible. He'll put you at ease so that the photo shows you to full advantage. Ryuji will go the extra mile: in my business suit shot, he photoshopped my white shirt blue so I have a no-glare webshot version -- at a fraction of the price of a new sitting! He's got my business!

Working with Ryuji was a real pleasure. I did not anticipate having this much fun taking a business headshot! From the start he was incredibly friendly. It was easy to schedule an appointment (I called and he had time the following day) and when I arrived at his studio (which has very easy parking nearby) he immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He helped me pick out the outfit that would look best and then gave me tips on how much make-up to apply so that it showed up best in the photos. And then he made me laugh for the photos, which helped me relax and take more genuine shots. After we were done shooting he spent considerable time fine-tuning the photo (including taking out all the lines on my face and red spots). The experience was far more enjoyable than I ever would have expected. I really cannot say more positive things about him!

Consummate professional!!!

I am so thrilled with the headshots I had taken for my professional marketing and website. Throughout the process Ryuji made me feel at ease and he was so professional and guided me through the entire shoot. He took same amazing photos and then spent over an hour with me picking the best photos and retouching the pictures. I would recommend him incredibly highly! He was a consummate professional and my photos came about absolutely beautiful!

I got a corporate headshot done with Ryuji and I am completely satisfied with the outcome. This was the first time I took headshots and I was kind of nervous because I am shy in front of the camera which usually reflects in bad and unnatural pictures. Ryuji was great. We had interesting conversations from the beginning and through the whole session. Due to the ongoing lively talking the session was very relaxed and consequently the pictures looked natural. We picked the best picture together and Ryuji took the time to edit the picture right away. I could see what he did in photoshop and cold point out things that I wished to be edited. I booked one outfit headshot and Ryuji took plenty of time. There was no rush at all. I greatly appreciated working with Ryuji. If I ever need a photographer again, I will absolutely contact Ryuji.

I'm an aspiring actress and needed a headshot ASAP for an upcoming audition, got Ryuji's contact info from a friend, and was able to set up an appointment immediately. The shoot was very laid-back and I immediately felt relaxed, and Ryuji definitely knows what he's doing. And it's SO much more affordable than most other places, especially with the retouching! Great experience, would recommend to anyone!

I would happily work with Ryuji again and recommend his work. I contacted him for casual photography (2 photos) plus a corporate headshot, and am very happy with both the end products and the process. For both categories, I was impressed with Ryuji's depth and range of experience (CEOs to dating site shots). I hadn't previously worked with a professional photographer outside of corporate functions, and liked Ryuji's grasp of both the technical elements but also - and more importantly - how he made the process/experience really positive, given the importance of mood and comfort on the end result. He provided helpful insights from lighting to posing to the selection of final photos from the many that were taken. He suggested to bring several outfits if I wasn't sure which one to use, and we could decide based on lighting, and his perspective on coloring, understanding my field of work, etc. I also really appreciated his advice when for both posing and reviewing photos to focus "on the big things" like being comfortable, eye contact, and expression. Ryuji strikes a great balance of hearing your needs and providing his own perspective for consideration. In general I found his instinct and judgment to be really good. I also liked the area that his studio is in and what it affords in terms of backdrop for casual photography, and a general atmosphere of creative businesses.

As a dancer, I contacted Ryuji for some headshots that I needed right away for audition season. Without hesitation he helped me get my prints the same day I left the studio. His professionalism and skill were top notch. I would definitely recommend Beaupix to anyone looking for some great photography!

Awesome Photographer

I am a new faculty member at a local college and needed a set of head shots around campus for publicity purposes and for my academic website. Ryuji was a great help throughout the process. He was willing to travel a considerable distance in order to do the shoot on my home campus, which made the pictures more meaningful. Throughout Ryuji was patient and kind--he was never satisfied until I was satisfied. In the end he offered me a reasonable price for excellent work. The pictures arrived electronically in both high-resolution and low-resolution (online) formatting. He did a wonderful job touching them up in photoshop--just enough, not too much!
Overall I would highly recommend Beaupix Studios. Highly professional work at a very reasonable price.

As an actor, I contacted Ryuji to get some headshots done, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I usually don't like getting my picture taken, but Ryuji is very professional, efficient, easy to talk to, and provides support and guidance throughout the entire shoot. What's great is that he really takes the time to make sure you're getting what you want, while still interjecting with his honest opinions of what works and what doesn't. I even got to sit down with him as he retouched the pictures. Brilliant. Highly recommended.

hello there , i was so delighted with my headshots that i had gotten done by Ryuji that i just had to come in here and tell people about it .... i am new to the area and decided that i wanted to join a date / meeting site for single people . having looked on the internet to see who was in the photography business , i saw that this guy Ryuji was in business ..... .. so i called him up , we chatted a while and discussed what my thoughts were and what i was looking for and more importantly hoping to achieve ... so right from the off Ryuki was super professional , he listened which was even more important as i wanted this to help me achieve my goal( really nice headshots which i didnt have )...so i set an appointment and went to his studio, which was so so easy to find . loads of parking around ... very convenient ...... entered his studio and was made feel at ease ... so professional as i said and what a place , a true photography studio... every thing you expected to see in a studio ...... so we sat and chatted again and talked about the kinda look i was looking for , the type of person i was looking for ( i thought ... why does he want to know that ) but to my surprise it all became clear as to why he asked me that question .

Excellent photographer

I'm a research scientist who needed a simple headshot for press releases and editorial articles. I was looking for something simple, yet professional. I contacted Ryuji through the website, and he promptly returned my inquiry the following day. We discussed what I was looking for and decided on a package. Since I don't typically use make-up, he also booked a make-up artist for that day. The day of the shoot was efficient, I had my make-up done, Ryuji shot several images and we reviewed them together. He put thought into what I would be using the photos for and provided opinions on why one photo may be better than another. Ryuji is engaging and great to work with. I'm very pleased with the final product and would highly recommend Ryuji if you need a professional head shot.

Great experience

I sought out Beaupix Studios on the recommendation from a friend. I am a software salesperson who was seeking a professional headshot that would make a great impression during my job hunt. I ended up getting both the headshot and a second casual picture taken. I am very pleased with the results. The photographer is a talented and experienced professional who makes the effort to understand his client's objectives. I would most certainly recommend him to others.

I am violinist who was in need of a good photo for fliers and programs for the upcoming recital I am going to have. I was very fortunate to find Ryuji Suzuki in Boston. Mr. Suzuki Strives to give the best photo and finishing touches result for his clients. He was very easy going and had set a fun environment for the photo shoot. He accepted my wishes for the pose I wanted to have with my violin and also suggested ideas of his own. What was unique about the process was that he payed a good amount of attention to detail, even detail I was unfamiliar with. Suzuki was a great person to work with. Suzuki will be the first person recommend to anyone who is looking for a professional head shot/photo to have a good start for their publicity, job application, etc.

Thank you Ryuji!

Excellent Photographer!

As I was in need of updated headshots and full body shots for my modeling portfolio, I contacted Ryuji of Beaupix Studio. It was a pleasure to have worked with him. Ryuji’s many years of experience in the world of photography, coupled with his dedication to perfection and his innate ability to capture the perfect shot, produces the very highest quality end result. I highly recommend Beaupix Studio for any and all of your photography needs. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you, Ryuji, for a great photo session, and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

I am searching for a job, and realized at the last minute that I didn't have a professional looking headshot. I filled out Ryuji's form online, late on a Saturday evening, and received a phone call to schedule the appointment within 10 minutes. We had a time set up for the following afternoon, just before my deadlines. The shoot itself was easy and straightforward, and Ryuji's artistic choices were excellent. At first I wasn't sure about his lighting choices, but the results proved him exactly right. So not only would I heartily recommend using his services, I also encourage you to follow his expert artistic advice.

Excellent services, well worth the extremely reasonable price!

I am an aspiring actor and model and just moved to the Boston area looking for professional headshots and a few full body photos as well. I found Ryuji online and filled out the necessary info to get myself started then had a great phone conversation with him to go over details of the shoot. During the shoot Ryuji took plenty of time to explain his experiences, the how the industry works, and the best ways he's found to gain the most success. He listened to my thoughts and the level I was at as well as my goals and was able to make very helpful suggestions for the shoot which made everything run smooth. The photos came out great, I will definitely be contacting Ryuji in the future when I need more photos!

I am a model and was looking to get some new headshots. Ryuji is very friendly and warm and is very easy to work with! I shot with him earlier this year and had such a great experience!

We shot with a make-up artist and I got some really great headshots! I would recommend BeauPix studio for anyone looking for great photos from a friendly face!

Working with Beaupix was definitely a great experience. I worked with him on an outdoor shoot and I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable time. The pictures were beautiful and delivered in a timely fashion and the photographer himself was an absolute joy to work with. I would definitely work with him again.

I needed a professional photo for my webpage as an academic. I highly recommend Beaupix Studio for anyone with similar needs. Ryuji is extremely professional and has a great eye for what will look good, and he is very sensitive to the end-goal for the picture. In my case, it was not only important to have a nice-looking picture, it was also important that it look professional. Unlike many photographers who are so focused on getting a certain look that they forget the context, Ryuji was very helpful in making sure that the picture looked professional as well as good. He did amazing touch-up work, too. My wife was very impressed with the results. And aside from all that, he is a real pleasure to work with. He knows a ton about everything and is very friendly. I definitely recommend Beaupix Studio!

8pm and I needed to send a head shot that evening. Yikes! I called Photographer, Ryuji Suzuki at Beaupix and he squeezed me in. Got there at 8:30, he very quickly got some nice pics. We then sat at his computer picked the best few and he expertly tweaked and touched up the shot. He was more than willing to take my input on post production and with his expertise I had a great head shot ready to email by the end of the evening. Great guy and a real pro. You can't go wrong with Beaupix!

I’m a singer and worked on my headshot for auditions with Ryuji Suzuki. I found him on the Internet and I could see his good reputation so I made an appointment with him. He is a very professional photographer and he showed me the examples to share what I really want and how he is going to work for the shoot. I really like the quality of the photo. He is nice and out-going person so I could felt comfortable all the time. We had lots of conversation during shooting so that he pulled out my natural smiles and good outfits. While we chose one of the best photos from lots of shots, he respected my opinion and helped me out to choose the best one. He made the photo clearer and better after selecting the photo which I really loved!!!!! I deeply appreciate Ryuji. It was fantastic to work with him!! I would recommend him if you need your great photos!!

I have worked with Beaupix Studio Several times, and each time it was an excellent result in the end. The photos come out absolutely great.
I am a model, and I have worked with many photographers over a period of several years, and I must say that the photos done by Ryuji are among some of the best and most useful ones. Ryuju can shoot variety of looks and styles, so this range of skills helps to keep photos fresh and diverse, and not monotonous. He takes great care in choosing the right location and light, and has great input during the shoot since he has a lot of experience, so his advise is very useful and valuable, and it all results in fantastic images!
It was helpful to be able to check out some locations and take the time before the shoot to talk about possible ideas, places, outfits and looks. I know quite a few photographers who are 'too buzy' or don't feel like doing that extra step, which is actually so essential for communicating and understanding each other's expectations for the shoot.
All in all-Very professional and highly recommended!

I had an amazing time with Ryuji! Last minute I call to take what I had dreaded- graduation photos my mother insisted I have. He gave me an extremely decent quoted price because I was a student and even though I changed the date/time twice he was more than patient! At such a discounted rate I didnt think he would take much time on me-- but we had a 2.5 hour shoot with like six different mini shoots in between! I also got the most amazing alternative grad, headshots, model pics that I am so happy with!! He said he had never taken graduation photos and he took what could have been extremely cheesy photo shoot into something really different and something to be proud of-- and I am not that photogenic folks! We definitely had a creative process going on that was to his credit as an open minded and creative photographer! Thanks Ryuji!! SO worth it!!

I needed new head shots for my website and my friends had recommended several photographers in town. I wasn't really convinced by the styles of their pictures, so when Ryuji explained his concepts to me, it was clear that it would work with what I had in mind. I am extremely satisfied with my pictures. It was very difficult to choose which ones I wanted to use. They were all great. Ruyji is very professional and made it a very comfortable experience. Thank you for sharing your talent and for taking such beautiful pictures!

I am a classical singer living in Boston. My good friend (also a vocalist) had photos taken with Ryuji and highly recommended his work. I did so much research and looked at hundreds of headshots. However, nothing I saw captured the artist quite like Ryuji’s photos did. I arrived at his studio yesterday, and also worked with Rose, one of his professional makeup artists. Her level of skill, personality, and kind attitude made the whole experience amazing. She made me look beautiful, and used just the right colors and amount of makeup I had in mind. Ryuji was so easy to talk to. He listened to everything I wanted my picture to capture: class, elegance, a happy face, confidence, etc. He has such an incredible eye for detail. He is calm and supportive, plays music you like to listen to, and offers his opinion (I found this very helpful, after taking that many shots) as you decide on the best photos. Also, he touches up your photo while you wait. This editing procedure is typically tedious, but he swiftly gets rid of any stray hair, extra shine, and makes the balance of colors perfect. I couldn’t be happier with my headshot. It is exactly what I wanted and if you need a professional photo- this is the gentleman you want to work with! He has the tools and desire to make you look your best. Thanks Ryuji!

I had such fun with Ryuji and Christina doing a BoHo shoot in the Boston area a few weeks ago! We trekked out to a beautiful spot near the water and everything was very relaxed and fun, but also very professional. Turnaround on seeing the results of the shoot was lightning fast and the pictures came out beautifully! I’m excited to hopefully have the chance to work with them again, and I’d recommend Ryuji to anyone looking to expand their portfolio or get headshots taken.

MUAH – Ryuji took headshots for my niece, who is an aspiring actress/singer, for her application to Boston Arts Academy. This was her first time in a professional photography setting so naturally she was a bit nervous. But not for long.. I was amazing by how personable & friendly he is. He captured great emotion & even went through each image with her. Quite an enjoyable learning experience. I HIGHLY suggest working with Beaupix – satisfaction guaranteed.

Hi my name is Allysha Pierre and I’m a young commercial print model. I got the most beautiful, amazing headshot photos taken.
My experience with Ryuji (photographer) and Chrissy (make-up artist/hair) was truly remarkable. They made my time their great. They were both very professional and they really know what they are doing. My father was very pleased with their work and experience and their passion for their job. I was able to look at my pictures right after they were taken to see if I approved. Ryuji went through a step by step process with me to choose the best pictures with the help of Chrissy and my dad of course. I would continue to do business with Beaupix as long as I can. I really recommend this studio for anything you desire. It was truly the best I have been to.

I am beginning my modeling career and needed a few head shots done. I came across Beaupix Studios and when meeting with Ryuji, he was very welcoming. He made my first photo shoot experience extremely fun and comfortable, has a great sense of humor and allowed for me to loosen up very easily. The photos taken came out to be amazing, and he guided me through out the whole process! I would highly recommend Beaupix Studios for your event!

First and foremost, Ryuji's photos were more flattering than i could have imagined... aided by the make-up artist who was available as an option (and well worth it!) I felt very comfortable, and now have the perfect head shot for my website, linked-in and other biz applications. Go Ryuji!

FABULOUS COMMERCIAL HEADSHOT!—Linked-in and Facebook here I come...I'm 50-something , I'm not a former model, and i hate having my picture taken. Well, Ryuji nailed it. And now that it is posted online, the photo has recevied unsolicited rave reviews from numerous friends and collleagues, including folks I've haven't heard from in years.

I opted to use Ryuji's make-up artist, who clearly knows how to make you up for a shoot so you look natural (if that's what you want), yet your best. And although Ryuji took 80+ shots over the course of the hour, I knew I was in the right place within minutes. He showed me the first few shots through his camera's viewfinder and I thought, wow!

Beautiful Headshots!---I had a great experience working with Ryuji. He made me feel very comfortable, and he was very nice, professional, and easy to work with. The studio is really nice and large, and the location was good. I got head shots done, and they turned out beautifully! The colors and light were exquisite, definitely my favorite head shots I've done in my life. There were so many great shots, and I am still in awe at how great they turned out! I He really captured my personality and essence into the photos, and I am truly thankful in working with him. I would highly recommend the Beaupix Studio any day.

I had my first headshots with Ryuji and it was awesome! He was so much fun to work with and the pictures came out great. I so glad I found him :-)

Remember, If you're are looking for a fun and relaxing place to get your head shots, go see Ryuji with beaupix! He takes amazing pictures and helps you in any way you need it!( you won't regret it!) ;-)

My name is Yuliya, I’m a professional model and actress. I’m just moved from Russia and needed to shoot a new set of portfolio to market in the USA. And I’m so happy to work with Ryuji. I like my new pictures and finally I’m found an agency. Thank you!

Beaupix studios-fun experience, great results!---I'm a masters student studying opera, and I recently had a head shots session with Ryuji at Beaupix studios. What an awesome and fun experience. I felt completely at ease, and his results are fabulous. He certainly has an eye for his art. He takes his time to make sure lighting is exact, and that every detail of the photo is in order. I needed my session done last minute, and Ryuji completely accommodated our schedules, and made it happen.

I also must note that I hired 'Rose' (hair and makeup) through Ryuji's recommendation. She was excellent as well! Fun to talk to, and well skilled at her craft. Everything she did accented perfectly what I asked, and ended up looking natural and flawless on film.

Beau-pix photography studio comes with my highest recommendations!

I'm a freelance musician, and I am trying to pick up more work. In order to get noticed and look more professional, I needed creative headshots. Something professional, but still something that looked like myself. And I needed them sort of quickly. So I searched online for a photographer in the Cambridge/Boston area and found Ryuji at Beaupix Studio. His photography looked amazing, so I decided to give him a call.

I was really impressed with how professional Ryuji was on the phone. He answered all of my questions and concerns, and he really made me feel comfortable about this whole headshot business. I had never gotten a headshot taken before, so I was a little nervous. In any case, I decided to go for it and scheduled an appointment. I was so happy to find out that Ryuji is willing to work with you on scheduling - I have a hectic schedule, and so he was willing to work with me and we picked an odd time for the shoot - but it was awesome for me.

When I arrived at the Beaupix Studio, Ryuji was completely ready for my photoshoot. I felt like he was totally focused on making sure that I got exactly what I wanted out of the session. After a few minutes, I was actually really comfortable and really enjoying the experience. Ryuji was definitely a seasoned professional; he knew how to anticipate my needs before I even verbalized them. For example, I kept smoothing my long hair down, and Ryuji noticed this and immediately brought out a hair smoothing spray that made my hair look instantly shiny and smooth. He asked me questions throughout the photoshoot, showed me the digital camera shots, and really listened to my feedback and made alterations based on it. He seemed to really know what he was doing; at several points I told him different things I was looking for and he immediately changed the lighting and the resulting photographs were exactly what I was looking for. He told me a bit about lighting techniques, and how they will result in different looks; it was obvious that he was very well versed in photography techniques.

Once we had taken about an hour of pictures, we wrapped up. I couldn't believe an hour had gone by, I had had so much fun with the whole experience. I got my proofs within a day or two after the shoot, and I wanted to jump for joy - they were exactly what I was looking for. With only a very few questions, Ryuji had figured out exactly what I wanted from my photoshoot. My concerns with his price points were immediately gone - Beaupix Studio is definitely not the cheapest service around, but there's a reason that cheap services are cheap - they don't give you these kinds of results. Beaupix Studio gives you amazing results, professional service, and peace of mind. It's definitely worth a trip to Central Square, without a doubt.

Update: I just got my edited final selections from Beaupix Studio and I couldn't be happier with the results! Ryuji truly listened to my concerns about the untouched images and made sure that he took care to edit them so they turned out exactly the way I had envisioned.

Once again, Beaupix Studio exceeded my expectations and delivered amazing headshots.

I found Ryuji on the web when I was looking for someone to take a business portrait (head shot). I saw his rave reviews and sent him an e-mail. He replied promptly and we scheduled a shoot at his convenient Central Square Cambridge location. He offered tips on which hair gel looks best when photographed (shiny). During the shoot, he helped me change my smile to get a variety of looks to choose from. This was especially helpful for someone like me who has never done this before. He has more than a decade of experience so I was not surprised when the proofs looked fantastic and the final edited version looked even better. Ryuji was helpful and professional throughout. I highly recommend his services and plan on hiring him in the future myself.

I'm so glad I found Ryuji. I was looking for someone to get my first acting headshots and came to yelp, I found Beaupix and was impressed with all of e great reviews so I made up my mind to go to Beaupix to get them done. When I got there I was greeted with a very friendly Ryuji getting the equipment ready. We sat and talked more about what I wanted and then he took thetime to go through the clothes I brought with me for the shoot. He is very knowledgable about his work and knows what works best in every situation it seems. He kept it casual and fun which helps bring out great pictures. I love my pictures and I plan on going back when I need new ones. Highly recommended.

I am an actor in the Boston Area and just a couple days ago, I got my head shots taken here. Ryuji is extremely professional and knowledgeable, and on top of that, extremely friendly and eager to help to make sure that one gets the best experience possible and outstanding results. I would absolutely recommend him to any actors looking to get head shots done in the Boston area.

A shoot with Ryuji is efficient and comfortable. He let's you work at your own pace. He is really great about giving you time to prepare between looks or between shots to make sure you are ready and satisfied with what you're doing from your end. He is constantly aware of the backdrop and lighting, making fine adjustments with his equipment to make you look your best on film.

A great place for professional photography needs! Five Stars!

Easy going, affordable and Wonderful!---I had a big audition coming up and needed a new head shot ASAP. I found Ryuji/Beaupix with google and immediately e-mailed him after seeing some photos on his website. He was extremely nice and we set up an hour to take some pictures. He was basically doing me a favor and a very affordable favor at that.
He truly captured my attitude. I felt like my photo came out looking like me and not a school portrait. Ryuji immediately puts you at ease for a comfortable, fun environment which is what we need as Actors to get great shots!
I highly recommend Beaupix Studios for anyone needing photos done.

My name is Miho Sato. I am a business owner of Urban Realty Group and an opera singer.
Within the same session, Ryuji and Rose, a makeup artist transformed me from a business person to a musician. Natural make up to a dramatic one, straight hair to glamorous hair. His magical final touch by Photoshop was awesome. His artistic vision and technological skill makes him very unique. It was a fun and amazing experience.

I met with Ryuji earlier today, who generously accommodated me in his schedule last second, for a business headshot. I get overly critical and nervous taking pictures, however, Ryuji made me feel comfortable and I absolutely loved the experience! He is very professional, helpful and the shots looked amazing. I highly recommend his service for anyone looking for superb shoots that stand out.
Look no further you will thank me later!

I am a corporate finance professional and I needed a head shot to be used for an upcoming speaking engagement, as well as for things such as my LinkedIn profile. Beaupix was recommended to me, and after checking out the reviews and exploring the website, I made an appointment.

Every aspect of the experience was smooth and easy. The photographer, Ryuji, sent me a very detailed list of information to know before arriving, and confirmed our appointment the day before. The shoot itself was easy, with Ryuji putting me at ease with casual conversation while he photographed. After viewing the photos together and deciding which one was the best, he then utilized his amazing editing skills to take a good photo and made it great.

I can highly recommend Beaupix, and our firm will definitely be using the studio for additional head shots for my colleagues. The professionalism, ease of the experience, and quality of the photos make this one a no brainer.

I am an aspiring actress that several months ago received my first set of headshots from Beaupix Studio. At the time I decided to go to Beaupix Studio, I had no knowledge regarding photo shoots. I didn't know what to wear, what to expect, or what my headshots should look like. Ryuji Suzuki made my life infinitely easier by guiding me through the process. He gave me just enough instruction that I knew what to expect, and still gave me plenty of space to express myself in my photos. It was my first photo shoot since I was twelve, and I could not decide on a good one – there were too many! So I bought twice as many as I had originally intended. Mr. Suzuki is an excellent photographer that brings out the best in you.

Great headshot pictures!---Today we had pictures / Headshots taken by Ryuji for Acting auditions. We were tight for time and he was very kind to fit us in at short notice. We have never had professional photographs taken before so we can away from it with a very good experience. Ryuji was very professional, kind and efficient. We were able to view the pictures right away which was nice. I would highly recommend him.
The pictures were excellent and really captured the image we were looking for. The location of his studio is easy to find and the parking was right out in front.

Wonderful to work with---I am an aspiring actor, and Beaupix did my headshots. I am extremely pleased with the results; I look great! I have never gotten headshots before, so I didnt know exactly what to expect, but Ryuji was kind, quick with a joke and more than able to put me at ease so that I could be fully present and comfortable for the shoot. I had a wonderful experience with Beaupix and would recommend them highly to anyone who asked me about headshots in the Boston area.

This is the first time that I went to a photographer that I really liked. I felt very natural and comfortable, the studio was great, Ryuji was very personable. I highly recommend him for portrait work. I have not seen his other work, but my business head shot was done the right way.

I went to Beaupix for an actor headshot, and also for a couple of photos I could use for my music website (I am also a singer). I chose to have my pictures done with Ryuji because he seemed to have it all figured out. First of all, the photos on his website spoke for themselves... but the reviews were also very good and pointed to a few other key things I was looking for: not only a skilled photographer, but also someone who was down to earth, could accomodate me quickly, had a makeup artist, and would take my project seriously. All of these things were true and it made a big difference. The makeup artist was also very nice and talented. In addition, Ryuji's studio is conveniently located next to "Shag" hair salon which is top-notch (and very reasonably priced). Going through all of the photos at the end of the session was also extremely helpful for me and I don't think I could ever have done that on my own! I am very happy with how my photos came out!

Boston is lucky to have Ryuji--he is top shelf technically and artistically. I had an excellent experience getting my headshots done today. Ryuji is very easy to talk to; if this is your first headshot he will explain everything. We took hundreds of photos and used a computer to go through all of them to find the best ones--it was a surprisingly fun and easy process. Highly recommended.

Here is an example of one of the shots he took of me:

I had headshots taken for a webpage at Beaupix recently, and it was absolutely everything I wanted. Ryuji was very professional and patient, he listened to exactly what I needed and in the end the results were perfect. He set up the studio to be tailored precisely to the shot I was looking for, and didn't try to put me in any kind of "canned" pose or style. He was great about going through the shots afterwards to pick the right one, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to get a perfect headshot for any event. In short - five stars!

I went to Beaupix as a professional musician looking for publicity photos. From his website to his photos, Ryugi's work is extremely organized and professional, detail-oriented, genuine and creative. I opted for two photos--a half-length shot and a headshot. The two photos complimented each other, and both expressed strong statements branding who I am as an artist. Ryuji listened openly to what I was looking for and was able to experiment within visual frameworks typical to classical music. I was glad nothing felt rushed because then I could relax enough to show the character and emotion necessary for these high-quality photos.

I'm an actor, and I went to Ryuji for my first set of proper headshots. The whole process was way less awkward than I imagined someone pointing a camera at me for hours would be, and I came away with some really great pictures! I'd highly recommend him to any other actors out there!

As an upcoming Actor I understand that your headshots are one of the most effective and important tools you must acquire to become noticed by directors or anyone in the entertainment field. When I first met Ryuji in 2011 I quickly noticed his passion for photography and his clients. I was new to acting so of course I was filled with a lot of questions and concerns about my shoot. Ryuji was very kind and took the time to answer all my questions before he took any pictures, which helped me relax a great deal. Not once did I ever feel rushed or uncomfortable with Ryuji and as time went by I notice myself enjoying the shoot more and more. Also unlike many photographers, Ryuji went over every photo that was taken of me at our shoot. He explains in great detail the importance of different images. He also cropped and edited my headshot and if I didn't like anything we would talk about it and make a decision together.

My experience with Ryuji was an all round amazing one and I will continue to work along side of him as my career grows. Since completing my photo shoot with Ryuji I've landed multiple jobs ranging from movie extras to lead roles in musical theater. Ryuji is one of a kind photographer who could really assist your career! I look forward to our next shoot and the success it will bring.

My neice had her first headshots taken for a trip to florida to meet agents and casting directors. They are awesome. My brother and his wife bought the package with the 2 re-touched photos. I surprised them and purchased the dvd with all 355 pictures. They are all amazing. I highly recommend Beaupix Studio

Ryuji is a hard-working, talented perfectionist - and he's a nice person, which makes it a lot easier to relax, be yourself, and get a photo that really
represents your personality.

Ryuji does all of his own post-production work as part of your session. So not only do you get to have the rather surreal experience of watching minor imperfections or stray hairs disappear from your face, but you get input into the process and leave the studio with great pictures that are already ready for printing.

I'm delighted with my headshots from Beaupix.

Thank you Ryuji!

I was in need of a new headshot for my web page which for me is very important as that is how people identify with me. The one I had was sorely lacking. I had asked friends, got some names, checked out their sites but didn't see the type of headshot that appealed to me. For literary months I searched the web checking out countless photographers. Not many specialize in headshots and what was left was either lacking or just plain no. Then to my delight the universe stepped in and I found Beaupix.

I was amazed to see all the different headshots. I had stumbled upon what I feel was a godsend. Then it got even better when I started reading that I would be able to get professional makeup and hair done right at Beaupix prior to the shoot. No trying to coordinate with multiple people or having to run around was a definite plus for me. And getting the right makeup makes all the difference. The best part, Ryuji handled everything!

The shoot was amazing. Ryuji helped me every step of the way. From picking out outfits, to making sure my hair and makeup were just right and finally to taking the time to get the right shot. It's not about just taking a picture with him; it's about what you want to say. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and Ryuji defiantly gets that.

He works with you to understand what it is you want to portray and takes the time to do it. He's no diva. He's professional, down to earth, and just a wonderful human being helping you through the process. It was more than I expected and it was a fabulous experience.

The finished product...excellent. I am delighted with my photos and can honestly say I will have more done by him in the future.

If you are looking for a true professional to capture what it is you want to say with a look, Ryuji is the photographer for you.

Great Place to get Head Shots---As an aspiring actress and model, I went to Beaupix Studio to get head shots done for my portfolio. The location in South Boston was great and easy to get to and as soon as I met Ryuji (the photographer) I felt at ease. The make up artist he uses, Rose, made me look SO beautiful and it also looked like I wasn't even wearing any makeup. The natural look looked amazing. Then we starting shooting. Ryuji told me how to stand through great suggestions, not by TELLING me what to do. He made me feel really great by complimenting my best looks and asked for feedback the whole time, showing me the pictures he had taken and asking for suggestions. The whole experience was really special. Ryuji was professional and kind, but not uptight, and you definitely knew right away that he wasn't after your money. If I ever need any other modeling or acting work done, I will definitely be going to Beaupix. It was a great experience.

First-rate photographer!---I've told my actor friends this, and I'll say it again - Beaupix is fantastic. Ryuji makes all the difference, he is so skilled and nice and understanding. That's a pleasure, when you're going into do headshots. It can be nervewracking when you're going to a headshot shoot, but I felt very comfortable working with Ryuji. And the results were awesome. I would definitely recommend booking with Beaupix!

Beaupix Studio (Photographer) is Great!---When I went to take head shots with Ryuji I was both pleased and surprised with his passion and knowledge for photography and because he made me feel so comfortable with the entire experience the time flew by so quickly. Not only does he provide an enjoyable atmosphere within the studio but he also takes amazing pictures that left me both satisfied and thankful that I went to him for my head shots.

I have to say, Beaupix was a breath of fresh air! I'm an actress, and Ryuji did my headshots. I really think he must be a rare combination in a photographer: an extremely skilled PLUS friendly and patient and thorough. Also it seems like he's getting more & more recognition and going places, and I think I'm really lucky to have found him when I did. I would definitely recommend Beaupix, and I would absolutely work with Ryuji again. 5 stars!

I took headshots with Ryuji today. They are perfect. I got to his studio, we spoke for a while and went over outfits. then I met with the makeup artist and got into my first outfit. I sat down on the window sill as he finished adjusting the lights. He took a picture. He said... "okay, you're done," clearly joking. Then he showed me the camera. Wow... it was stunning, and on the first try. It usually takes me a few minutes to get comfortable with a photographer but Ryuji was just great. He takes photos with the intention of bringing out the subjects personality, not his own. I have had some bad experiences with photographers in the area where the pictures look nothing like me, because the photographer is trying to show themselves in the picture, and not me. Ryuji is completely different, he puts on some music of your taste and makes really insightful suggestions about a pose or hair or makeup and you end up with a fantastic set of photos. His studio is also great for backgrounds because there are a lot of fantastic doors and walls and colors and window views. My experience with Ryuji was fantastic and I would recommend him for any occasion. His photos really speak for themselves, though.

UPDATE on yelp.com: 1/27/2011

Yesterday, I took headshots with Ryuji for the third time in three years. I am very loyal to him and I have seen him getting more successful as a photographer, and adding innovations to his studio over the last three years.

Six months ago I moved to New York City to continue pursuing my career and I still bussed all the way back to Boston for his headshots. He is always very willing to go the extra mile for his clients. He puts on your favorite music and lets you get into your personality before taking BEAUTIFUL photos.

His goal to bring out YOUR personality in his photos, not his own, like many NYC photographers like to do. This guy has real talent.

After the shoot, we selected the best shots together in the studio, which made the process very easy and fast. Most other photographers don't give this option and you are stuck with hundreds of proof images and frustration. Not with Ryuji. In fact, reviewing images on computer screen while taking small breaks was very helpful.

I didn't even need my photos retouched by him because he lights everything so well and puts so much effort into detail so that you look the best you can look when he takes your picture. But a very light retouching made my headshot look just perfect.

I'll always have my headshots taken by Ryuji and I will always recommend him to anyone who asks.
