Chris
Testimonials
"Work with Don. Don't waste your time trying to find someone else - just work with Don. All you need to do is look at his photos - he's incredibly talented and has a special way of bringing out the magic within his subjects. He's delightful and super easy to be around. He has something that most photographers I've worked with do not have - excellent customer service, a killer personality, and incredible organization. Photography is a shared experience with a photographer so do you want it to be annoying and uncomfortable or do you want it to be fun and joyful? I choose fun and joyful—and that was the experience I had and the headshots he produced were evidence of that experience."

Testimonials
This year I've been working on "being seen" and wanted to tap into that through my photo session with Don. This was my first photoshoot EVER and it will NOT be my last. Don did a great job at checking in with me and being my biggest hypeman. That ultimately allowed me to loosen up and have FUN! It was really MY world and everyone else was just living in it, hahah. So glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and allowed Don to capture my natural beauty."

Emani
Testimonials
"Supportive, efficient, and comfortable! No matter how familiar someone is with being in front of the camera, Don makes everyone feel comfortable And uses technique to help the model’s tap into their most confident self! I am grateful for his ability to guide me through poses and facial expressions; it allowed me to not get caught up in feeling awkward and wasting camera time! I would definitely work with him again!"
Graziella
Testimonials
"I had the pleasure of working with Don Wilson for a studio session in Brooklyn, and the experience was nothing short of transformative...Don brings a vibe that is incredibly grounded and professional.
It was a snow day—the perfect backdrop to shoot in studio—and though I am typically a bit camera-shy, Don created a playful, low-pressure environment that immediately put me at ease. I’m not a fan of 'staged' posing, and Don truly respected that. He coached me with a light touch, allowing for a natural free-flow where my personality could actually shine through.
He let me set the tone for the space; I put on Toni Jones’ Grownass Woman album and really tapped into my inner authority. Don captured my essence, which is rare. If you want a photographer who honors your autonomy and captures you at your most authentic, Don is the one."
