Balázs Tóth
Considered the best headshot photographer in the world, Peter Hurley chose Balázs as his associate photographer in 2015, meaning he personally recommends him. So you don’t have to fly to New York to Hurley’s studio and spend $2,000 to have world-class photos, because you can get the almost same from Balázs for a fraction of the price.
About Balázs
I am always impressed by the professionalism. Balázs is a true professional. Previously, I rarely, almost never, had a photo taken of me that showed my face as I thought I was. I strongly recommend him to all those who also want to show themselves to others.

They are a very professional team, as soon as I saw the first couple of pictures, I already knew that I had made the right choice! The whole photoshoot went very smoothly, they were prepared for everything and I didn't feel uncomfortable for a minute. Thanks for the great pictures!

Balázs is not only a very professional photographer, but the photo shoot was also a fantastic experience! The next time I need business photos, I will only go to Him! Thank you for the experience and the impressive end result! Everything was perfect! I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Absolutely professional attitude, but at the same time a light, relaxed environment. They really make the best of the situation. Professionalism radiates from the finished pictures.

HEADSHOT OR PORTRAIT SESSION?
HEADSHOT
During headshot photography, all images are taken cut up from the chest. This cutout is perfect for a resume, LinkedIn, or corporate website.
While photographing, we focus on bringing out the best facial expression out of you. It’s 100% our business, we’re the best at it. Together, we will experiment with your most advantageous angles and the gazes that best suit you. In the meantime, we often change the color of the background and like to try on different sets of clothes. For headshots, we use a very special LED lighting technique that puts you in the best light.
PORTRAIT
During portrait photography, we like to be a little more creative and bring you even more variations. In addition to headshot photos, we also take half-length and full-length photos: e.g. sitting on a chair, leaning against a wall, elbow on a table, etc. You can use these photos well for media appearances, next to magazine articles, book covers, rollups and more.
By varying the lights, we can create everything from soft images with a natural effect to high-contrast images, according to the goal you want to achieve. At the end of photoshoot, you will be richer with a much wider range of portfolio, aimley covering your marketing and personal branding goals to the maximum.
PHOTOSHOOT DETAILS
LOCATION
Our photo sessions are held in our Budapest based Studio. For groups more than 15 people it might be easier to ask for a location setup. Please ask for a custom offer for on location work.
PHOTOSHOOT PROCESS
The photoshoot time at each package means the net time that you are going to be in front of my camera. There is no limit to how many times you can change clothing or how many looks you will get. Logically the less time there is, the less variations we can fit in the session. I like to change the outfit or the background color at least once, so you get a varety of looks. I also like to play around with facial expressions so that it is consistent with the outlook.
I shoot directly to a computer, so we can instantly review the images together, and discuss which looks are the best for you. My process is that we shoot for a couple of minutes then we cull the images together and then we repeat. This way at the end of the session you will get a good sense of what your images will look like.
The pre-selected raw images are uploaded to our website in a private gallery, from where you can select the ones you want us to retouch. You can show this gallery to other people, but you won't be able to download these raw images.
RETOUCHING AND DELIVERY
After you select your images, we retouch it for you in 10 weekdays. The main goal with post production is to stay as natural as possible (as you can see in my portfolio). We use high-end retouching techniques that's why it takes this much time.
The final images are delivered in a digital form, via Wetransfer. We prepare you images in high resolution and in a web optimized size as well.
We do not give out raw images to customers. We find it very important to only give out high quality work. Your selected raw images are kept for a minimum of 1 year, so if you want, you can order more retouched images later.
MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
We offer a 100% satisfaction gurantee on all of our photoshoots. You can find the details here.
CLOTHING
You have to bring you own clothes for the photoshoot, the more you bring the better. You can find some useful clothing tips here.
MAKEUP
All package prices for women include professional makeup in our studio. We work with the best Hungarian makeup artists, who know exactly what looks good on camera. We usually do a natural looking makeup, and we do slight changes to it during the longer photoshoots.
HAIR
We ask you to come to the studio with your hair done, and in a way you usually wear it on weekdays.
For women our makeup artist can do minor tweaks to your hair, and I also help adjusting it in front of my camera. Our largest packages for women contain a hairstylist on set.
FACIAL HAIR FOR MEN
If you wear facial hair but also want some clean shaved photos, then you have the option (except Career Booster package) to shave in the studio.
