One of the Best in the Business..:
I have worked with Ken on a number of occasions and his service has been phenomenal. He is very professional, obviously knows the business and is great at what he does. He has a gift for working with his client and helping them to pull out the emotion needed to produce a great photo. He makes your comfortable in the studio and on camera. He listens to what you want and need out of the session and works to ensure that he exceeds your expectations. Great shoot, great photographer, great session!

not bad at all, actually great!!! just let the photographer shoot you:
I read the reviews there are mostly great ones and then it seem this guy did a deal. and got a few bad reviews. I also came in on a deal that I purchased and I can understand why someone would write a bad review, the photographer gives a more toned down shoot for the deal clients. "Meaning he has a way of shooting them thats different then a full session" but you still get great results.

The rule is to go to have fun, then you will get great pictures, go in with your own interpretation of the shoot and try to run the way the photographer will photograph you will not usually yeild the results you want.

I went in thinking "okay I'll go have fun." and I got back great pictures. I love them.

Yes, there are some bad ones I think his vetting process is flawed but otherwise I only need like 3 or 4 good ones and I got like 30 great ones, So why would I have a problem with that?.

I am an entertainer by the way so I have shot with other photographers and his style is very very different. "this guy likes to talk to you" make you feel at ease and get you out of a posing mode. Then he gets his shots after he wears you down.

Its like some sort of social artist, he gets into your head and makes you forget that your taking pictures. you need to go with his flow for you to get great stuff, try anything else and you will write a bad review. :)

so just go and have fun and good luck - I am 100% sure if you follow my advice you will get super pictures like 98% of his reviews the other 2% seem to have a bad attitude.

Photos okay - disappointed in the service:
After having read all of the glowing reviews of Ken Jones’ talent and services, I was quite surprised & disappointed with my experience. I was looking to get some new headshots, and found Ken’s work on his site to be just what I had in mind. I bought my appointment through Lifebooker, & was excited to get to work with Ken, after having read all of his online reviews. The package was supposed to have had included a two-hour shoot, 30-enhanced shots, as well as the customary online photo-gallery, which many photographers offer as part of their services. I also opted to use my own stylist, whom I had worked with before

From the start , when I called to book the appointment, he was rather curt and dismissive, but I took it in stride, and told myself that he was probably on the run, or busy with a client, so I let it slide.

This behavior, however, basically continued throughout my shoot (though he & his staff eventually warmed up a precious little in the end).

In addition, my shoot, instead of being the full two-hours that the Lifebooker package had stipulated, was only an hour & a half. His directional style was a little rigid, & I am used to working with Photographers who work & speak with their models the way that directors speak with their actors, so I felt very stifled and uncomfortable, which showed in the final results. This may just be his directorial style, and if that works for you, then it works for you.

At the end of the shoot, he never specified how long it would take, nor did he mention the post-session process, so I figured he'd contact me soon. After a week of not hearing from him, I sent an email following up on the shoot. Nothing. A few days later I called the studio, and was given the run-around by one of the studio-employees. After I called a second time, she said that Ken would get back to me later in the day.

Late that evening, I received an email from Ken with a link to my online photo-gallery, and informing me that if I wanted any retouching or enhancements, that each shot would be $25. I emailed him back, asking him about the 30 enhanced images that were supposed to be included in the package, what those enhancements entailed, and if he needed anything more from me. That was over a week ago, and I've not heard back from him.

In addition, the shots were just okay. Without a doubt, he knows what he is doing with color and light, but the shots of me as an actor were flat. Also, it was clear in most of the shots how uncomfortable I was.

I don’t know if I caught Ken at a bad time, or if he was upset that I did not want to use his stylist, but I was absolutely turned off by my experience at Fulton Studios. Had the service been comparable to the service I have received from other photographers in the past, it would have been fine, but I was very disappointed and insulted by the way I was treated. Needless to say, I found someone else to retouch my photos, and, though they could have a little more life in them, they do look better than when I had downloaded them from Ken Jones‘ site.

I hope this gives you, the readers out there a bit of a broader perspective of the array of possible experiences that you may have with Fulton Studios. Perhaps Ken will take a better liking to you than he did me, but the bottom line is if you are running a place of business, customer service is key, and you will not profit from picking and choosing who you treat well, and whom you treat dismissively.
