Marvin Mansilla Photography, Washington DC

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
I've worked with photography clients in NYC, London, DC and other large markets in the areas of fashion, beauty, commercial photography, magazine editorials and product photography. I bring this depth of knowledge to every photoshoot to deliver the best headshot image possible.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
In general, I've always been an artist. I started out with traditional art when I was 7 years old and have always been attracted to portraits. Headshot photography is an extension of that passion.

What do you love most about your job?
I get to meet people in all lines of work and interact with them on a one on one basis while learning about them and what they do. I try to coax expression out of them that shows who they really are, while balancing that with their professional needs.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
An excerpt from a Facebook post a client posted - "I am so happy I took this opportunity, and for the first time in a long time, I am proud of who I am and how far I have come. I'm seeing myself from the eyes of someone else, and I love what I see."
