The excellent quality of the photos speaks to Daniel's talent as an artist and his ability to put people at ease. I was impressed with Daniel's ability to work with darker skin. He understood how to light darker skin to get the best effect. I'm not naturally inclined to get photos of myself, but Daniel's approach took the uneasiness away and made it fun. I recommend reading the blog Daniel sends out prior to the session. There are lots of good tips to prepare for the session. Daniel's tips helped me manage anxiety and helped the session go smoother. Bring a variety of outfits. It's not always obvious what will work well. Daniel was able to provide a special pass so parking was free, and I didn't have to worry about topping the meter or racing the parking inspector. There was ample parking close to his studio. I was concerned about parking in Chippendale. Parking anxiety should be a recognised condition in Sydney.

There were 2 reasons why I choose Daniel to shoot my headshots with. One is I was searching for a photographer who is as dam good as Peter Hurley is and Daniel Sommer is. I know it’s a huge statement but it’s true. The other reason is, when I found Daniel Sommer on Instagram there was an image of a girl, a musician that has totally blown my mind. I have checked the work of all relevant headshot photographers in Sydney and for me no doubt it is Daniel that knows what a headshot is about. He is the man to go to in Sydney. My acting agent told me the images are absolutely amazing. The images he took of me are bringing me to work above expectations. The pictures he took of me combine his technical knowledge with amazing direction, and bringing the right emotions out of you and capturing them, his timing of all these things his confidence and his trust in you that you can do it, is just like a director on a film set. He connected to me easily and he took the most wonderful images of me. Thanks again Daniel I'd love to share this experience with the world.

Wow! Daniel delivers! I've worked with a number of photographers over the years and Daniel is undoubtedly in a class of his own with special mention of his innate ability to coach and direct me through the shoot with such precision to get the shots that I thought not possible. Needless to say, I highly recommend Daniel and his team.

I recently had a headshot session with Daniel and It was fun, professional, and I was thrilled with the images that came out of it.

I’ve had the pleasure of being photographed by Daniel Sommer recently for my first headshot collection. As it was my first photoshoot I was unaware of what to look for and after searching around for a while I chose Daniel due to his friendliness and affordable prices. From the moment I walked into his studio, Daniel made me feel very comfortable and it is obvious that he is a professional who is very passionate about what he does.

I had a simply amazing experience! Daniel is professional, passionate, energetic and fun. This is a relatively new experience for me and Daniel was able to put me at ease and really have a good time. And I absolutely love the results! He listened to my ideas, put forward his own without being at all pushy, and the photos successfully convey a range of looks and emotions that will make my acting and modelling profiles shine. Thanks again, Mate.

I promise he will pull a shot out of you that you will absolutely love, and you'll have a great time whilst at his studio - the time will fly. His ability to connect with his subjects and bring out their unique personalities doesn't come naturally to everyone and his personal nature sets him apart from many. Highly recommended! Thank you for a great experience, Daniel. I appreciate the effort you put into our shoot.

- Craig Henry
Daniels service is worth the full 5 stars. He is very switched on and knows exactly what he is doing. What I loved was his attention to the smallest of details which is the difference between producing a good shot and a money shot. He has a fantastic set-up to which you see the shots immediately on screen and you can work from this to achieving your goal. This means when you finish the session you know exactly what you are getting and there will be no hidden surprises. I will absolutely be coming back for more shots when required.
