Hello
Welcome to Pretty Cool Photo!
My name is Neil Wind. I am here to provide you with a headshot that you're re going to think is, well, pretty cool.
Everyone needs a good headshot!
Although my formal training was at Ryerson (now MTU), I've learned the most from just getting out there and doing it. I've been lucky enough to work as a photographer in many areas, including theatre, film & tv, weddings and large events, and have done headshots specifically for businesses, actors, authors, musicians, families, and more.
How does it work?
It starts with an email. Let's connect and discuss what you're looking for.
I travel with my equipment to homes and businesses, or to an outdoor location, where natural light can be incorporated. I also have a tiny home studio that I use for mostly seated headshots.
"I have engaged Neil to take staff headshots for clients on several occasions and his work ranks among the best. For many people, having their photo taken can be uncomfortable and Neil's personal approach and ability to get his subjects to relax produces spontaneous moments where their personality comes alive. He balances his people skills with great technical setups that often produce photos that require minimal retouching. I used Neil for my own, personal headshot and he made me look my very, very best."

"Neil has provided some of the best professional headshots that I have ever had. As someone who is uncomfortable with photo shoots generally, Neil has a gentle, professional and kind approach that made me feel completely comfortable and resulted in photographs that feel authentically "me".
Neil is a generous and gifted artist and I highly recommend him."
