Capitol Hill Portraits is a Washington DC company run by professional portrait photographer Tim Devine. He started his career after graduating from Georgetown. Tim moved to New York to learn after the most famous photographers of that time. His mentors were Richard Avedon, Arthur Fellig, Richard Kern, and others. After that, he worked for a long time as a photographer-journalist in many companies.
Today, Tim Devine is a family man and professional photographer who returned to Washington and founded his own company. He says: “Nothing excites me more than taking a great portrait. My goal is to create an image that speaks about who you are and not just how you look. I believe that a successful portrait is one that is realistic.”

Thanks to such vast shooting experience and advanced skills, he can be deservedly called one of the best portrait photographers in Washington. He takes not only classic business headshots but also modern portraits, using a complete scene and business portraits for header pages.
The photographer takes classic, modern, detailed B&W, and street portraits. You can order a photoshoot with your cat or dog, in the park, or at home while cooking. Portrait photography doesn’t boil down to taking images of a face but allows for creative experiments, and Tim is always ready to work according to specific demands.
Visiting the Capitol Hill Portraits website, you can also see a gallery with many professional headshots. Headshot photos are in demand among businessmen and workers who need a classic profile photo. However, even this photography genre allows for variations in facial expressions, for instance, you can smile slightly, and the photographer will capture the needed emotions and provide you with headshots that will show your intentions.
This service is extremely popular among women who want to demonstrate their skills and high quality of work to make clients trust them. Tim Devine is convinced that taking business portraits of women is more difficult as a photographer has to find methods to show a whole emotional spectrum. A businesswoman in photos should look confident and focused, but at the same time, calm.
Once a photo session is over, Capitol Hill Portraits team will send you all images by email and you'll need to choose photos that you like most of all. Tim Devine will improve these pictures, perform professional color correction, and retouching, if necessary.
When editing photos, the photographer uses advanced Adobe software, including Photoshop for retouching and denoising, and Adobe Lightroom for tone alignment and color correction in general.
However, you can skip this step and immediately send your RAW images to a professional service. FixThePhoto retouchers will remove redness, acne, wrinkles, whiten teeth without going overboard, improve hair and correct skin tone in a matter of hours. This is just a part of possible photo manipulations that you can order.
One of the unique offerings of Capitol Hill Portraits company is a consulting service, which means you can choose your future image. Here you communicate directly with a specialist and discuss your requirements. Then they will make several images for you and provide consultation on proper colors in clothes, so that everything looks harmonious in final photos. This service is of great help if you have no experience in choosing a specific outfit or you have never worked with photographers before.
Capitol Hill Portraits doesn’t have a personal studio and Tim says that he loves working on location. However, if needed, he can rent a good studio in your city and bring all the needed equipment for portrait photography there. This includes regular lighting setup, premium matte and micro-prism diffusers, tripods, the best camera for portraits and lenses by Canon, Nikon and other premium brands. Moreover, he owns WD light lenses for creating various effects, flashes for camera to experiment with nighttime and B&W photography, and more.
If necessary, Tim Devine can bring all this equipment with him to any region or even to another country. Keep in mind, that the number of gear used in your photoshoot directly affects its final cost.
Regarded by loyal clients as the best portrait photographer, Tim provides open access to his portfolio, so any person interested can examine more than 100 of his works. It's also nice that every photography genre has its own gallery, so you can evaluate the professionalism of Capitol Hill Portraits. The gallery is designed in a modern way, using blocks with full-size photos.
