Watch My TED Talk.
Kenneth Dolin is a Los Angeles headshot and portrait photographer with over 20 years of experience. In this TEDx Talk, Kenneth explores the philosophy behind his approach to photography — that authenticity, not posing, produces the most powerful portraits.
Believing that "you are enough," Kenneth urges his subjects to take off their masks — both in front of the camera and in life. This philosophy is what separates his work from traditional headshot photography and why clients ranging from Emmy Award-winning actors to Fortune 500 executives trust him to capture their most authentic image.
Kenneth is based in Los Angeles at 5700 Melrose Avenue and works with actors, corporate professionals, realtors, healthcare providers, and executives across the US and Europe. To book a headshot session or learn more about his approach, visit the contact page or email info@kennethdolin.com.
I’m Kenneth, a photographer living in the state of California, and the state of wonder.
Over 20+ years, I’ve photographed thousands of sessions for a clientele including Oscar and Emmy award winning actors, up-and-comers, musicians, models, and luminaries from business, technology and media. I like to say that I turn faces into brands. I feel grateful to have been widely recognized as an industry leader in portrait and editorial photography. I’m based in Los Angeles, but work all over the US and in Europe and often travel to my clients.
Most photographers ask you to pose. My job is to get you to stop posing.
My work has been featured in People Magazine, US Weekly, Angeleno, Beverly Hills Magazine, Closer, LA Stage, Vigour, Moevir, and notably, on my mother’s refrigerator.
I’m part photographer, part life coach, part clown and part provocateur. It works.
When not shooting I'm a motivational madman doing photographer coaching, 1-on-1 mentoring, artist empowerment and public speaking. My work empowering other artists gives me purpose.
