I have known Ron for about 20 years as he has been a client of mine at Grays of Westminster (the famous Nikon store in London, England) for all those years.

Once or twice per year Ron would come into the shop and buy the latest Nikon camera or lens he was needing and we became good friends.

The opportunity finally came up when my daughter Maia needed a photo shoot in Los Angeles (she is an aspiring new singing artist) and I called Ron straight away

to see if he can do it.

 

Ron didn't hesitate and we coordinated the time and place. My daughter was a bit nervous as she never met Ron, but within minutes of meeting him, he made her feel

quite at ease and relaxed. Ron's friendly attitude and easy going manner (whilst keeping a professional photo shoot going) was second to none.

 

Ron gave my daughter great direction for the right angles and shots she required, but also listened to Maia's needs and wishes. (This is a very important attribute of a good photographer.)

Ron took many shots, at many different angles and heights. He was not satisfied with the first few "good shots" but wanted to ensure he got the very best out of Maia.

All the while, joking and having a relaxed, fun conversation to keep Maia looking natural and beautiful.

 

The results of the pictures were stunning! Maia's facial expressions were really captured in the image. The expressions communicated a story which is often lost while photographing

a "pretty face" or "model".

 

Ron edited the images in good time and again was willing to listen to Maia's (the client's) needs and worked with her to edit the images to her satisfaction.

 

I highly recommend using Ron for your photographic needs, as he not only has the very best and latest Nikon camera equipment, but he will bring out the personality of the subject he is photographing through his friendly and professional manner.

 

Thank you.

Playing in front of the camera for headshots with Ron Pollard as the photographer was absolutely fantastic fun!

Ron has an amazing gift for the craft of photography that is well respected by his peers around the world. Indoor or outdoor location Ron is a master of his craft and you will not be disappointed with the final product. As a matter of fact, you will be in awe of what you see before the session is over.

I’ve assigned Ron to several editorial assignments for Guideposts magazine and his work has been top-notch. He gave me what I asked for, plus more. He connects with his subjects in a way that opens them up, and his photos show the comfort they have with him. I will work with Ron again and highly recommend him.

Ronald Pollard is a wonderful photographer!  I was beyond thrilled with the amazing photos from our session! Ronald was great to work with and made me feel completely at ease during the entire session.   He was able to capture all of the emotions and expression that I wanted in my new headshots. I can't wait to work with him again!

I cannot express how pleased I am with his work!

“I commissioned Ronald Pollard to photograph my celebrity sponsored book launch party for Future American President in Los Angeles, California hosted by director/producer Felicia Henderson and actress Angela Bassett. Ronald did a good job in capturing the event. He was professional, and his images were amazing from the night. He captured the feeling and energy of the night. This was probably the only time I have commissioned a photographer over the last decade, however I would definitely commission him again.”

“Many times, I could never see where they were standing, barely noticed flashes and can’t recall a moment when I was aware they were setting up for a shot. I must admit that when I was in his office a few days later to see the pictures, I was astonished to find such majestic and deep colors of every moment in the concert in Selma. The brilliance of the photos were so realistic, I was perplexed that I never saw anyone on stage, yet my photographs were right there in the moment.

I would absolutely use Ron Pollard Photography again. His energy, yet calm demeanor allows any person around him to be so relaxed and in the moment that you get memorable moments you are proud of. Every single picture he took, I wanted for my personal collection. If that doesn’t prove customer satisfaction, I’m not sure what will.”
