A Bit About Us

Oh, hello!

Our studio provides scaleable photography services, as well as video production services for the individual or for a brand. We started very small – With short comedy films that took us to film festivals around the world, and with portraits for actor friends. While we’ve now graduated to feature films, music videos, and photo shoots for big brands and touring companies, we at our core still very much have our indie sensibilities and love for small stories. We do both, and we do them to our best.

Photography: While we do offer a variety of professional photography packages, we do everything with a personalized touch to ensure you get individual care and a photographer that is totally committed to you. Our clients come to us with a wide variety of subjects, including: family, engagement, wedding, events, babies, pets, corporate figures, real estate, actors, and more. You can come to our comfy Queen West studio, we can bring our studio to you, or we can set up at a sweet studio space in your home town. Yes, we happily travel for our shoots.

Video Production and Digital Content: Our team has been featured at TIFF, The Canadian Film Festival, and are comfortable doing everything from Video Bios, to actor Demo Reels, to original creative content that plays for audiences across North America. If you are looking for video content its best you contact us and we can go over your unique needs.

You can view our work in our video and film portfolio, or on Awkward Silence Productions.

Dan was great. I love my corporate pictures!

I can't thank Dan enough for being so amazing on our special day! He is so professional and kept everything running smoothly. He made sure that we got the right shots, with the right lighting, and retook them until every eye was open 😉 The few pics we have already receive from our wedding are phenomenal! Can't wait to see them all.

Dan has done an incredible job with my clients. Everyone has had a great experience shooting with him and the shots that he produces really captures their individual personalities. I would recommend Dan to any actor who is looking for a headshot that is going to stand out to casting!

Lisa DeMeo (Agent, ETM)

Dan came to my company to do a portrait day for staff for our business's cards and online. He was amazing. I could not imagine a more stressful environment for a photographer... To shoot thirty people in one half day and pretty well no one likes having their picture taken. Dan made it fun and easy and everyone was thrilled with the photos.

I also act on the side and had an awesome experience with his other company callback headshots. Will get around to reviewing it eventually. Really recommend this studio for business photos and portraits.

My experience with Dan Abramovichi Photography as a whole has been unmatched in the past. From start to finish, I was treated professionally and coached through my photos by one of their talented photographers (Ryan) to ensure that my appearance in my photos was the best it could be. I needed these photos for a professional website, marketing materials and my own social media and I am extremely happy that I used Dan Abramovichi Photography. Their experience with portrait photography and editing truly shows in their results. I have already recommended them to my colleague and plan to use them again in the future.

Matt C.

Absolutely fantastic photographer, and made me feel super comfortable during the entire shoot. Highly recommend!

Josh MacDougall

Dan was great. Personable, fun and professional. Not only did he do a great job on my photos, but he also shared his wealth of knowledge and experience and great advice about the business.
I highly recommend Dan and looking forward to working with him again in the very near future.

Dan Abramovici is a wonder to work with! He creates an amazing atmosphere to work in and is an awesome individual to work with. Not only does he deliver top notch material, he delivers it quickly. I definitely recommend going to Dan and Callback Headshots to any actor hungry for auditions. Thanks, Dan!

Alex Mallari Jr. (Actor)

Dan has been a great photographer to work with. He brings fantastic creativity and flexibility to his photo shoots, as well as a charm and sense of humour that puts everyone at ease.

Richard Gasee (Marketing Manager for The Second City)

I have come to depend on Dan Abramovici’s inherent understanding of the craft of acting, his ability to make his subjects comfortable, and his professional and extremely refreshing shots which showcases his subject in a manner that will get them into casting. Not to mention, his willingness to inquire, listen, and work to provide me with what I need to promote my clients.

Carlos Hicks (Agent, Hicks Talent Management (EICAA))

Found Abramovici Studios after looking at a few studios in NYC (where I live) and Toronto (where my bf lives). The photos+videos on their website indicated quality and a professional experience, and the price for the corporate headshot package (3 outfits, 3 touched up photos) was competitive so I decided to give it a try -- LOVED the experience overall and totally worth it!

Weina Z.

A great photographer who knows the unique needs of actors and other clients as well. Very happy to work with, only wish was that the office was in a bit better location.

Garrett Mallory Scott

If you're ever looking for a smooth experience with a great guy to take your headshots then Dan is the man! Get's to know about you and then looks for ways to bring out the real you in the shots! Quick responses to emails and turnaround on finished edited shots! Very reasonable pricing as well with lots of package options. Anyway, highly recommended! Cheers!

David G.

Dan did a marvelous job for me. The shots captured me in a natural and candid image, while looking fully professional. The most popular comment I get about my shots is ‘You look professional, yet completely approachable in your photos!’ The headshots are key to giving my clients a good introduction. Dan has a true talent for putting me in my ‘best light’!

Vanessa Lench (Opera Singer)

Dan Abramovici of Callback Headshots is nothing short of stellar. I’ve gone to him on numerous occasions and he’s managed to exceed my already high expectations every time. Whatever your hired him for, you can cross that item off your worry list. He’ll be pitch perfect.
