As an actor first, Jamaal gets it. He knows the pressure of auditions, the importance of a killer headshot, and how to capture the best version of you—without the awkward, stiff poses. His goal?

Beyond photography, Jamaal has worked on commercials, stage productions, and films, giving him firsthand experience on both sides of the camera. That insight helps him create headshots that not only look amazing but work in the industry.
