“At a Diversity Workshop with none other than Fern Orenstein, Vice President of CBS Casting, Ms. Orenstein was reviewing everyone’s 8x10s… she came across a few 8x10’s that she absolutely gave her approval to… one of them was from photographer Kevin Cristaldi. Ms. Orenstein talked about how an 8x10 should tell a story and reflect the inner thoughts of the subject. Mr. Cristaldi’s photos do just that.”

Kevin is an actor’s photographer. He understands how to grapple with finding truthful moments and brings his years of experience as an actor to the process. He immediately made me feel comfortable, open and courageous. This is rare. I’ve had many headshots taken over the years and Kevin is by far the best photographer I’ve worked with. Kevin knows when he’s captured the moment and will not rest until you are satisfied. I can’t say enough about what a rare find he is in this business.

“Kevin is not just a skilled headshot photographer, but someone who makes the process comfortable and fun for our students - the final product is a headshot that is relaxed, natural, and shows the actor at their best.”

Pamela Moller Kareman, Executive Director, The Neighborhood Playhouse

“I’ve sent my students to Kevin for headshots, and they have always come back happy. Not only do they enjoy the session, but they wind up with terrific headshots.”

“Getting your head shots done is always a problem whether it’s which ones to pick, what to wear, or how to be when the photos are taken. But I found a magic cure. Kevin Cristaldi! Having been in the business for quite a while I can honestly say I never had a more enjoyable shoot for new pics then with Kevin. Because Kevin is also an actor he knows exactly how to work with you and get what you need while making it feel like you’re just having a good time. My agents were joyous with the new pics and the agent who has known me for over 20 years said, “Tod these are the best pictures you’ve ever had”! Can’t get better than that!”

“Kevin was suggested to me by my agent, and I had a lovely shoot with him. He is incredibly personal, sets you at ease, makes you laugh, and the time flew by. I needed several very different looks, and we got really great, varied shots. Reasonable prices, quality shots, and a fun session. Thank you Kevin!”

Rachel C., actor

“Kevin has a personal appreciation for the actor’s needs and perspective in the shoot. He made me feel at home in the space, set me up for success in every look, and gave me a wealth of great pics to choose from in each category I had set out to cover. It was a relaxed, enjoyable, and highly productive session.”

Colin W., actor

“Kevin came highly recommended by various actors who I have worked with over the years. He did an amazing job making me feel comfortable to achieve the looks I was going for and he did an amazing job capturing them perfectly. Kevin draws from his extensive acting experiences, which is a great compliment to his outstanding photography. In the end, I have amazing headshots to begin my journey to broaden my various acting ventures.”
