WESLEY STANFIELD

I’m an actor and an acting coach based in Atlanta, Ga, represented by J Pervis Talent Agency with over 20 yrs of professional film, TV, and stage experience.

Photography has been apart of my life from a very early age. I think my earliest memories of using a camera are from being on my middle school’s yearbook staff, lol. I started taking headshots and portraits in 2015 as a way to help myself and fellow students navigate life as artists. It’s been a non-stop evolution of art and business ever since and I'm excited to have you be a part of it.

I believe the most important thing you can do for yourself is to find a photographer who makes you feel comfortable. My goal is to capture an image that represents the very best of you on a good day and I look forward to making that happen. My commitment to you is to be a kind and considerate professional whose priority is to make you look and feel your best.

I hope to hear from you soon! -W

β€œMy entire family had THE BEST experience with Wes Shots Photography. Booking was not only a breeze, but Wes was beyond accommodating and professional. We needed last minute headshots for our two girls. Wes was able to quickly schedule a photoshoot for both the girls and even better, it was surprisingly affordable! The photo shoot was so much fun! All my girls had to do was show up and enjoy being little superstars for a day! They were extremely respectful and went out of their way to make sure the shoot was safe. Wes and his assistant wore mask throughout the shoot and had hand sanitizer available for all of us to use. The pictures turned out beautiful and were ready within 2 days! We are so relieved to have found a go to photographer that we KNOW produces quality work at an affordable price.”

"Shooting with Wes was a dream! Not only is he a wiz at lighting and composition, he's an actor's photographer. A visual storyteller. He totally "gets it" when it comes to character and bringing out an actor's true essence. During our session, he created an environment of fun, curiosity, and exploration - and did so while capturing MANY highly marketable images. The hardest part was picking my favorites. I honestly could have uploaded just about every single shot he took. My reps were very pleased. Together we came up with a tone that is unmatched in any of my previous pictures. Would use him again and again."It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

"Wes is great. Very professional, but kept it fun and entertaining. His work speaks for itself. The studio was also perfect for our shoot and he was extremely efficient with a tight shoot window due to me having a scheduling conflict. Wes is also very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Wes for all photography needs."

"What can I say about Wes that hasn’t already been said?!? Yes, he’s an incredibly talented artist! Yes, he’s amazingly patient with his subjects! Yes, he comes prepared to work and is 100% professional! But he’s so much more than that. I’ll try my best to explain. Wes has a special way about himself that can capture a photo like no one else I’ve ever seen! And I don’t mean his awesome Dad jokes!! He can immediately puts you at ease! You’ll just have to book him to see for yourself!"

I can’t say enough nice things about Wes! Not only is he a talented photographer that has a good eye, but he truly makes his clients feel relaxed. He knows how to bring out the right emotion for the shot and truly captures it on film. He tells jokes to help you to relax and laugh- and they are actually quite funny. He knows how to pose his clients. Very professional as well. I can go and on and on in all that he does to really help get a genuine smile and get β€œthe shot.” He listens to you and really wants to make you happy and comfortable. If you are looking for a talented photographer and overall nice person, Wes is your guy! No need to look any further! We are very pleased with all the pics he has done for us! A+++++++

I literally can’t talk bad about this man! First off, when I acquired about booking him on his website, he reached out to me not even ten minutes after I sent the inquiry!! Second, he is supper easy to talk to, get on with, and work with! He is an actor as well and knows the business very well so he gets what is actors needs from headshots. He was always very up front with me about pricing (which is pretty great for headshots of this quality if you ask me) and he was up front me with about what he wanted to achieve to help my career! On the day of the shoot, he allowed you the option to pick a place or use his studio. I am new to the area so I ask him to pick a spot and boy did he deliver! He was so easy and fun to work with but very professional too! The headshots turned out great and I couldn’t be happier! I will definitely be booking him again!! :)

MR. WES!!! So many great things to say about his professionalism and incredible work on our kids new headshots!!! Not only did he make a house call and we got to shoot out of the comfort of our home (which made life a ton easier without the need to schlup all the the kids wardrobe to a location) but the shoot was fun and we are more than thrilled with how the photos turned out! So much so we HAD to purchase all the proofs! He’s definitely and actors photographer because he himself was a pro so he truly knows the industry in ATL and has great contacts too! He knows what casting and agents want in your number one marketing tool - amazing photos! AND the turn around time to get the shots back in your hands was incredibly fast! We literally had the proofs to view the next day! As a momager to my 2 biz kids, I can’t rave enough about how FABULOUS Wes was with my kids. He is also a great resource for actors in ATL and was so kind enough to share time outside of the shoot to just talk industry talk. WES IS A TRUE GEM! He will be our GO TO photographer from this point on!

Wesley is very professional and super kind. I really enjoyed my experience, and will definitely be getting more headshots from him. If I could give more stars I would, lol😊!!

Wes is the absolute best! I booked him for my son's headshots. He was professional from beginning to end. Our initial phone call was so informative. I initially just wanted information on his services but I ended up scheduling right then and there. The day of the shoot was great. He was able to get so many great shots of my son. My son enjoyed the session and suggested that we use Wes for photos from here on out(I had already made up in my mind that we would though lol). So, if you're looking for a professional photographer who has a quick turn around time(we received the proofs the same week!), great atmosphere, and affordable, Wes is your guy!!

Wes came to our corporate headquarters and took headshots. It was a great experience! The proofs came back very promptly; it was a super quick turnaround time as well. Also, he was super responsive to my inquiry and any questions I had. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
