Our talent work includes WWE Star Tiffany Stratton, Hellboy actor Jack Kesy, Jessica Belkin of the new Baywatch series and the upcoming film Elle, and Olympic athletes Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and Jordan Chiles at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials.

Question 2

What makes Krizia Studios different from other commercial photographers in Minneapolis?

Accepted Answer

Krizia Studios is a Minneapolis-based commercial photography and full-service production studio known for creating bold, campaign-level visuals that drive real business results. Founded in 2020 by Krizia, a first-generation immigrant who brings a unique global perspective rooted in lived experience. Combined with a background in business, marketing, and working with $250M brands, every shoot is approached strategically, not just creatively. Krizia Studios builds the right team for each project, scales from lean shoots to full productions, and creates visuals that are built to work.

Question 3

Do you have your own studio?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Krizia Studios is a full production photography studio located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis with free private parking on site. We shoot on location across the Twin Cities and travel nationally and internationally wherever the job calls for it. If your campaign calls for a specific environment, a controlled set, branded location, or editorial space, we will find it or build it.

Question 4

What does full production mean?

Accepted Answer

Full production means we handle every element of a commercial shoot, not just the photography. That includes casting, location scouting, wardrobe and styling coordination, shot list development, crew sourcing, and on-set art direction. Krizia Studios is a Minneapolis-based full production company, meaning you have one point of contact managing the entire project from concept through final delivery. No coordinating between vendors, no dropped details. When brands and agencies search for a commercial photographer who can run the whole production, that is what we do.

Question 5

What kinds of brands and clients do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Krizia Studios works with national brands, ad agencies, and in-house creative teams on commercial photography campaigns, product photography, brand content, and editorial shoots. Past clients include IBM, Nintendo, Pokemon Go, Minecraft, Zeiss, and Hormel. We work directly with brands and embedded within agency productions. We also work with individual athletes, creatives, entrepreneurs, and public figures who need imagery that holds up at a commercial level, including Olympians Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and Jordan Chiles. Our client list spans Fortune 500 companies to independent talent.

Question 6

What other types of photography do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Beyond commercial campaigns, Krizia Studios covers a wide range of photography needs. Corporate headshots, executive portraits, event photography, brand content, product photography, editorial, and experiential coverage are all part of what we do. Whether you need a full team headshot day at your Minneapolis office, coverage for a corporate event, or ongoing content for your brand, we can build a package around it. We are also a go-to for brands and production companies that need a trusted photographer on the ground when their team travels. When a project lands in Minneapolis, or when a Minneapolis-based team heads out, we are the studio they call.

Question 7

Have you worked with companies I might have heard of?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our client roster includes IBM, Nintendo, Pokemon Go, Minecraft, Zeiss, and Hormel. On the talent side, we have photographed Olympians Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and Jordan Chiles. We have worked with national brands, global gaming companies, Fortune 500 teams, top executives, and pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations, across industries that demand a high standard and know exactly what they are looking at. The through line across all of it is a bold, editorial approach that is distinctly Krizia. Clean, intentional, and built to make an impact.

Question 8

Do you offer corporate headshots?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Krizia Studios offers elevated corporate headshots for teams and executives who want something polished, modern, and aligned with their brand. Sessions are available in-studio in downtown Minneapolis or on-location at your office. We guide everything, lighting, posing, wardrobe direction, so the final images feel natural, confident, and consistent across your whole team.

Question 9

Where is Krizia Studios located, and is parking available?

Accepted Answer

Krizia Studios Minneapolis Commercial Photography is located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis at 1313 Chestnut Ave Minneapolis, MN 55403. Free private parking is available on site, no ramp fees or street parking needed.

Question 10

Do you shoot individual headshots or team/corporate sessions?

Accepted Answer

Both. We work with individual professionals, executives, creatives, entrepreneurs, and career changers who need standout headshots for LinkedIn, their website, or press materials. We also coordinate full team and corporate headshot sessions for companies that need consistent, polished images across their staff. Whether it is a two-person founding team or a 50-person company or more, we handle the logistics so everyone walks away with headshots that actually look like they belong together. Individual sessions are available year-round at our downtown Minneapolis studio. Corporate and team bookings are available by reaching out directly.

Question 11

What is the difference between a headshot and a branding portrait?

Accepted Answer

A headshot is tight, head and shoulders, clean background, professional expression. It is what executives, founders, and public-facing professionals need for LinkedIn, a speaking bio, press features, or a company website. A branding portrait pulls back to show more of who you are: your environment, your tools, your energy. The image does more because it has more to say. Most clients at Krizia Studios book both in the same session. One shoot, two distinct looks, a complete image library built to travel, your website, your media kit, a Forbes feature, a keynote bio. We have worked with a lot of CEOs, c-suite executives, founders, and nationally recognized talent. The clients who book us know the difference between a photo that exists and one that does something.

Question 12

Why choose Krizia Studios for headshots in Minneapolis?

Accepted Answer

Because a great headshot is not just about the camera, it is about the experience of getting there. From the moment you walk into our downtown Minneapolis studio, the session is built around you. We direct, we adjust, we pay attention. Nothing is rushed. Every image is curated by hand, not batch-processed, not templated. The retouching is thoughtful and specific to your features. What you receive is a final gallery that has been looked at with the same eye used to produce portrait spreads for Poets and Writers Magazine in New York, Uprisers in Los Angeles, and Vision Magazine in North America. This is not a volume studio. Every session is directed, intentional, and built to hold up on a conference stage, a Fortune 500 pitch deck, a magazine feature, or the front page of your website. Krizia Studios is based in downtown Minneapolis and recognized as a top commercial photography studio in the city.

Question 13

Do you shoot headshots on location or only in your studio?

Accepted Answer

Both, and the experience is exceptional either way. Some clients come to Krizia Studios for the full boutique studio session with controlled lighting, a curated setup, and an environment designed to put you at ease. Others want their world to be part of the story, their office, their city, a space that is already connected to their brand. We bring the right equipment and team to make it work at the same level, wherever we are. If you are in Minneapolis or anywhere in the Twin Cities and you have a location in mind, bring it. We will tell you honestly whether it serves the image, and if it does, we will make it exceptional.

Question 14

What are the benefits of a professional headshot over an AI-generated image?

Accepted Answer

A headshot has one job: to convey you. Not a polished approximation of you. Not a smoothed-out, algorithmically optimized version of you. You, your presence, your warmth, your confidence, the specific way you hold yourself when you are at ease. AI generates an image based on pattern recognition. It does not know what makes you compelling. It cannot adjust in real time, read the room, or coax out the version of you that makes people want to take the meeting. It optimizes for generic, and generic is exactly what you do not want representing you. At Krizia Studios, our Minneapolis headshot sessions are built around making sure that image is unmistakably, powerfully you, at your most confident, most credible, most human.

Question 15

Do you do professional retouching?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every image in your Krizia Studios gallery is retouched by hand. No batch processing. No shortcuts. We look at each photo individually, your specific features, your skin, your light, and we edit with care and precision. The goal is never to make you look like someone else. It is to make you look like the best, most confident version of yourself. Clean, elevated, and completely real. What you receive from a Minneapolis headshot session at Krizia Studios is a final gallery that has been looked at with the same eye and standard we bring to every part of the experience.
