“Never have I had a photography experience so uplifting as the experience I had with Ava Bub. Not only does she have a great eye but she is incredibly, kind, thoughtful and prioritizes each of her clients’ individuality. What I love about her approach to headshots is that it’s very grounded and accentuates realness and truth. As an actor, I believe truth is at the core of our work. This is precisely what Ava values and exactly what she delivers in her headshots. I felt uplifted and confident after my headshot session. A lot of headshot photographers I’ve been to will over-edit and try to make me look super polished. While I think this is nice, it’s not unique or special. Ava brings out individuality. There is nothing fake or photoshopped. Additionally, as an actor herself Ava understands the industry and actors. She knows how to balance marketing someone to the industry while also maintaining their individuality, and what more can you ask for?”

“Ava Bub brings a warmth, insight, and thoughtfulness that makes her such an easy and trustworthy photographer to with. I really felt like she listened to me about what I wanted, gave great insight for my headshots—as she is herself an actress— and took photos that really made me feel confident and professional. I’ve booked with Ava for various types of sessions and I felt she brought a consistency to her skills, professionalism, and intuition each time. She’s a truly talented photographer and I’d recommend her to any actor or model!”

“Ava's acting experience and training gives her all the knowledge that she needs to represent her clients as actors. She knows what casting directors are looking for, and she knows what an actor is missing from their branding. Her goal is to bring out your versatility and range, and she approaches photoshoots like a director of actors. She knows that headshot photography is more than just a pretty picture. She focuses her photography on character types and energy, trying to pull out her clients' emotions and confidence.”

“Ava was so wonderful to work with! I was a little nervous in front of a camera but Ava made it so fun and found ways to work with my nerves which helped the pictures look great! She also let me play some of my favorite music which helped put me at ease and made the session feel so much more comfortable. I highly recommend her!”

“Ava made me feel so comfortable! She extended infinite kindness and patience and made the whole process feel so easy. I really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the shoot, asking me if I liked the photos and if I wanted to change anything or take more. I think every photographer has their own style, and some people are more compatible with some and not others, but I think the kindness and warmth Ava showed during the shoot would make anyone feel great in front of the camera!”

“Ava Bub is a born artist with a great eye and creative instincts, but what really makes her work special is her ability to create a safe, joyful environment that is so conducive to the making of honest, exciting, and specific results that really capture an artist and what they stand for. She completely understands what your goal is with each look and with inspiring prompts and suggestions she makes the process feel so natural and fun. She is a bright, enthusiastic, and kind person whose dedication lends itself well to her photography— as she thoughtfully executes your vision and makes you feel confident and comfortable!”
