Welcome to Keith Miesel Photography
In my studio you'll find a safe, welcoming creative space where professional lighting and backdrops, along with expert, natural and respectful retouching, and post-processing, result in an authentic yet timeless look in your final images!
I believe a successful photo shoot is a true collaboration between the photographer and client. Before your session, we will chat in person, by phone or email about your goals for your shoot, which will help guide the direction of the session including location, lighting, wardrobe and hair/makeup needs. We might additionally put together a "Mood Board" of sample images from Pinterest, magazines, etc. to help clarify and direct our respective visions for the final images.
The spacious studio, with almost 3000 feet of floor space suitable for everything from intimate portraits in natural light to large groups with sophisticated lighting schemes, is located in Northeast Minneapolis Arts District's historic Casket Arts Building, home to over 100 artists, craftspeople and jewelers. The stunning common spaces within this vintage building are also available for use as a creative backdrop for our portrait session, in addition to the studio setting.
Explore my portfolio, book your session, and get ready to put your best face forward.
My basic portrait/headshot package is $295, and includes:
- Up to one hour session in my studio (extra travel and setup fees apply for location shoot)
- Multiple lighting, backdrop and wardrobe looks within the one-hour session
- Up to four retouched images of your choice selected from a proof gallery on this website
- I do my own retouching, to my high standards and to your satisfaction. I do not farm out any of my work to retouch mills. Each retouched image is a one-of-a-kind work of art.
- Extra retouched images beyond the four included in the package are available at additional $40/image charge
- Access digital downloads and prints of retouched images directly from my website
- Hair & makeup services available at multiple price points- inquire at booking
