Matt S.

San Francisco

Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon EOS R5

Ok, so Matt is not the best photographer on Snappr. That's because he's also the CEO of Snappr, so he doesn't have as much time to shoot as he'd like. But if you're a fan of "Undercover Boss" vibes and/or can't find anyone else, he'll do you a half-good event shoot. Specializes in low-light, naturally lit event shoots at nighttime.

Sony Alpha A7 II

I get very much fascinated by photographing people. Headshots, kids, family, couples, fashion, events, concerts. I love to do any kind of portraits using professional photo studio for fine art portraits, portable lights for environmental portraits, natural light for casual portraits. I'm doing fashion photography for local clothing brands using models. I'm building a portfolio for actors/models, also helping them to show through pictures their best sides. Constantly promoting myself as a photographer by creating seasonal mini photo sessions. I'm really opened for the advertising field, like taking pictures of a product. I'm working a lot with not profit organizations, and personal project. I'm good at corporate and non-corporate event photography. I'm doing a lot of small video jobs for bloggers, also small video clips (3-5 min) for events, family gathering, couples. Wedding photography is on my list. My photography education is AA Photography at Foothill College.

Our team loves Robbie! He's super friendly, patient, and overall just fantastic at what he does!
— Melannie M
The headshots were so fantastic, thank you again!!
— Brooke C
Amazing! I am so sorry. I was one digit off on the address and the suite number and she was lost. I was thankful that she continued communication so I can help her arrive to the correct destination and she still was able to take photos. I haven't seen the photos yet but I can imagine she did her best considering the time She had. My hope is that the photos come out amazing and she captured some beautiful moments for my baby shower.
— Monique J
Our wedding photographer was truly an artist in every sense. The level of creativity they brought to each shot was astounding. Gleb didn’t just capture moments; they crafted visual masterpieces. You could see their eye for detail and their evolved vision in every frame, turning even ordinary moments into something ethereal. They played with light and angles in ways that felt like pure creative magic. Every photo tells a story with depth and artistry, far beyond a simple documentation of the day. This isn’t just photography; it’s living art. If you want someone whose creativity evolves into a visual legacy, this is the photographer you need.
Wonderful and creative photographer! He was early and was ready with props!
— Latoya P

Travin Agregado was very professional and pleasant to work with.

He made sure everyone was taken care of and looked their best. Im really happy with the experience and highly recommended.

Highly recommend Anthony. He was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I needed some new portraits/headshots for work and he was incredible. Anthony found the best light for shooting, was flexible, gave me tips throughout, and I felt very comfortable the whole time. 10/10

I had an amazing experience shooting with Killian. He understood the assignment right away, captured exactly the vibe I wanted, and worked quickly without ever making the session feel rushed. I showed him a few inspiration photos and he matched the style perfectly. It was a fashion-focused shoot, and he absolutely delivered. I’m really happy with how everything turned out and would definitely book with him again.
— Haya D
Robbie was extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable. He took his time for multiple angles and outfit changes. He even took us outside on the streets to take some outdoor shots as well. I will book with him again and highly recommend.
