Christopher Descano Photography

Photographer

In the beginning, I had recently moved back from living in England where I was finishing up my training to become a professional actor. Soon after that, I was fortunate enough to book a tiny role in an M. Night Shyamalan movie. It helped to put a few bucks in my pocket, and I decided to upgrade my headshots because British headshots are quite different than American headshots. I shot a guy in Philly and it was disappointing on many levels. I then shot with somebody in New York, they were better but way more expensive, and I still didn’t feel satisfied.

A few years passed, and I had agents representing me in Philadelphia, New York, and LA. I was booking bigger roles and consistently updating my headshots, but never being able to do so successfully in Philadelphia, which I thought was ridiculous. I started shooting people a few weeks after I realized that getting a great headshot in Philadelphia was impossible. It didn’t seem like a large request, and I couldn’t figure out why this was at the time, but I eventually did figure it out. Read more

    I found Christopher through Yelp, and I think to date it has been the best decision Yelp has helped me make.
