Nico Liersch
He was Rudy Steiner in The Book Thief.
I first saw him on screen—big, cinematic, unforgettable.
Years later, he walked into my 805 set.
We made portraits that day.
Clean. Striking. Honest.
One of those images still lives on his official German agency’s website.
805 & 820 — We’ve Got You Covered
From San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara (and every pocket in between), we photograph real professionals who know the power of a damn good headshot.
no backdrops. No studios. Just you—looking like you mean it.
you don’t need to be anyone else.
you just have to show up as you.
in their words
Working with Robin was an awesome experience. She went out of her way to make me feel relaxed, and she gave me gentle coaching so we could get the best results. When it comes to photography she’s a technical wizard, but more important than that, she has the perfect personality for the position.
I needed an author photo for an upcoming book and she totally nailed the vibe I was hoping for – a black & white headshot that skewed more toward “moody” than “buttoned down.” (Basically, I wanted the polar opposite of a typical corporate headshot. Imagine Yousef Karsh on steroids, but from a female perspective and working with a command of modern tools.) She hit it out of the park, as far as I’m concerned. Just wonderful.

I love my headshots—they turned out great.
We wrote back and forth in the studio since we had to, and it turned into something really simple and fun, and everything felt clear and easy.
Robin explained everything and helped me pose the entire time.
It was fun—we got to learn about each other along the way.
I felt completely safe and understood.

Robin was super chill to work with and gave great direction the entire time.
She really knows her stuff, and it shows in the final images.
I’m very happy with how everything turned out.

Your headshot isn’t just a photo—
It’s strategy. Influence. A power move.
It’s your first impression before you say a word.
Your digital handshake.
The moment someone decides if you’re the one.
I photograph faces of power.
Of creativity.
Of story.
Whether you're stepping into something new or refining how you're seen—
this is about showing up.
Confidence. Presence. Clarity.
Your headshot shouldn’t be an afterthought.
