TESTIMONIALs -
"I'm notoriously shy in front of a camera, but my work requires that I have current photographs. John put me at immediate ease, and in a session that was lively, stress-free, and even - yes! - fun, he was able to capture me in an unguarded, authentic way. He has a keen, intuitive eye and miraculously knows just when to click; my photos are flattering but they also cut to the heart of my personality. He's a genuine artist."
- Doug Wright
Pulitzer Prize Winning Playwright, Screenwriter
“For the camera-averse, John is the man. Just as you are holding your face in a tight, intense grimace you think is a smile, as your shoulders slowly rise to your ears, he will gently talk you into moving by degrees into your best self. He will adjust lighting and position and attitude without your noticing, and offer you a break before you realize you need one. He is an intuitive, brilliant photographer who is also one of the nicest people I know, and when you are at your most vulnerable, that is not a bonus, it is a necessity.”

"I had such a joyful session with John! He encouraged me to have fun and experiment and the result was stunning. I felt seen, understood and celebrated and my photos are spectacular because of that. His work is inventive, kind, warm and exploratory. I’d recommend him to anyone!"
- Katie Sexton
Actor, Comedian
"Working with John was a delightful and empowering experience. His kind and humorous demeanor immediately put me at ease. The final portraits were perfect in that they captured my personality in compositions that were both natural, strong and contemporary. I will be using the headshot in my upcoming book and for other projects for years to come. I cannot recommend John enough and send everyone I know to him."

Photographer
“I used to say with conviction that I was surely one of the ten least photogenic people in the world. The camera hates me and I hate it. I'd much rather have teeth pulled than have photos taken. Then I met John Keon who, with a deft hand and a generous calming spirit, pulled from me not teeth, but vibrant photographs I never thought I'd be able to take. He not only gave me fantastic professional headshots, but a newfound confidence and perspective on how the world sees me. I'm feeling myself more than ever thanks to him.”

“I’m a writer, so being in front of the camera is not my natural habitat. John put me at ease and actually made the shoot fun! And he got some great shots that I’ve used in many professional contexts.”
