Esso Studios

Ji is the best.
His personality makes it so easy to put your guard down and stand in front of the camera with the utmost confidence.
We hired him for our engagment shoot and. our wedding. We felt confident in his amazing capabilities to capture the moments we wanted him to capture in our minds. His sharp sense of creativity and high professionalism show in our photos — not to mention is great work ethics. Ji communicates, delegates, and entertains very well. He perfectly balances our preferences and with what he knows will work well in pictures and that is something we truly appreciated. Someone with a backbone but also sensitive to a person’s wants and needs.
Quite popular with our guests at the wedding, Ji worked the crowd well and never compromised professionalism from start to finish. That goes without saying, our photos looked greaaaat.
It’s a no brainer! Hire him for small or large events, we know we will. We wish you all the success, Ji!

I have worked with and have come across the work of dozens of professional photographers – weddings, commercial, and portraits across Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Boston. I must say that Ji (and his staff at Esso Studios) is among the BEST. A few weeks ago, he came to Harvard to take professional photos for the students and we had a blast! The sessions were booked quickly and sold out within days. Such reactions are a clear testament to the high quality of his work.
Ji integrates precision, artistry, and efficiency to capture and bring out the natural yet «best foot forward» images of people. I brought along a group of my friends and all of us have been very happy with his work and will be using our headshots for various professional outlets.
Ji has always been prompt and thoughtful in his communications and does his best to work with his clients’ preferences and priorities. Throughout our communication, Ji has consistently demonstrated honesty, clarity, and openness which are critical in managing client relations, especially across states. I would highly recommend him to any institutions, companies, and businesses. In fact, I have done just this with my friend who was in need of a photographer for her startup.
When you come across something good, you cannot help but want to share with everyone you come across. My experience with Esso Studios has been just that, and Ji is a photographer I would be recommending to all my family, friends, and colleagues for years to come! Bravo Ji!

Amazing amazing amazing! Had Esso studios do my engagement and wedding photos and they were fantastic. Really beautiful shots and different angles/​poses that I hadn’t even thought of. Understood my vision and totally delivered. Prices are super competitive for the quality of work and the staff is amazing to work with. Really friendly and so helpful. Their photobooth is the best too. Awesome quality — way better than other weddings I had been to. Give them 5 stars and would definitely use their services again for important events!
