Erin Hadley
Mr. Takenaka, I am contacting you because you were highly recommended by
my manager, Jamie Baker. I am an actor and singer here in New York City, and
need some new shots. I checked your website and I just think you take fantastic
photographs, and your headshots conveyed so much personality from the subjects.
I was wondering if it would be possible to meet with you to see if you think we
would work well together......Erin Hadley
Wayne, I just wanted to say thanks for a great session. I had a fantastic time,
and I can’t wait to see the proofs.XOXO, Erin.
Hi Wayne, I have to thank you again....what amazing proof sheets!!!!!!!!!! I
cannot believe how hard this decision has been. I have been asking people
which photo is their favorite, and I have been getting back lists of 25 or more
from everyone! So, it has taken a week to narrow it down to a dozen or so......
Thank you a million times over! Best Erin.
Hi Wayne, First of all...damn you for being TOO good. It has taken me a week to
come up with a final few, and even then I am mourning that I cannot afford to
have 12 different sets of headshots printed up. You are astoundingly talented,
and you have made this decision incredibly difficult just because there are so
many viable options. That being said, here goes!.......Many, many thanks! Erin.
Wayne, I can’t say enough about how great a job you have done. I expected ex-
cellence, and you have surpassed it. It has been a real pleasure to work with
an artist as talented as yourself. Many, many thanks!

Hello Wayne- I just want to tell you that I love the pictures. I am taking some
time to decide which ones I want. My manager and agent are looking at them.
I will get back to you by the end of the week. Thank you for everything......The
retouched photo is beautiful! You are amazing! Wow! You are so good at what
you do. I am going to continue to tell everyone about you.

Kathleen McCafferty
Wow, that looks amazing.....I would like to have it. The other ones I’m consider-
ing are:7220, 7221, 7206, 7133, 7143, 7148, 7187, 7262, 7111, or 7110, maybe
7133, 7142. It’s the sign of a good photographer when you have so many possi-
bilities that it’s difficult to choose! It’s usually the opposite- you are fantastic!

David Ross
Thanks for the CD mailing and I am a fan of yours. My first audition with the
casting director for the Oxygen network...as soon as I gave her my headshot,
she said, “WOW, what a beautiful shot” and then I said, “You should see the
gun the photographer used”...hahaha. Everyone looks at my shot and goes,
“Wow, I wish I had one like that,” and then I tell them about you....

Wayne, I will have 20 choices by tomorrow. It’s so hard; I’ve never had pictures
of me that I actually liked. And now there are so many. Every one that’s seen the
contact sheets think they are amazing. So thank you for making me look so
good.

Hey Wayne. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! They are all so beautiful. Great job. I couldn’t
be happier. I love them all but after looking them over twice I came up with my
fav 18. Thank you.
