Stephanie brought her own costume to work with

 Stephanie brought in her own Greek goddess costume for me to work with.  It's always fun to work with concepts a bit outside of the box.  I shot her in the studio, then created backgrounds using AI tools, then blended them together into these images.

Lonna as an angel

 Lonna came by for some classic black and white portraits a la my Classic Beauty Project.  Her favorite images involved angel wings, puffy clouds, and a bit of magic!




Superstar Headshots, Classic Portraits, and Retro Glamour.  With 35 years’ experience as a professional fine art painter, photographer, and noted authority on Old Hollywood imagery, no one else shoots like Todd does! Whether you’re looking for an image to convey your brand, create a legacy, or wow your special someone, Muskopf Photography, LLC in Dayton, Ohio is your source for unique images.


SUPERSTAR HEADSHOTS:  Whether you’re a CEO, Engineer, Realtor, Actor or a Sales Professional, it’s vital your photos make a great first impression.  They must convey your personality, confidence, and your brand.  Use them on your web site, LinkedIn, business cards, and anywhere else you need to tell your story.


CLASSIC PORTRAITS:  Whether you’re wearing an evening dress or a business suit, we’ll create images that show the beautiful, elegant, powerful woman you’ve become and will be legacy images to be proud of.


RETRO GLAMOUR:  Inspired by Old Hollywood stars such as Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth, Jane Russell, and Marilyn Monroe, these images smolder with temptation, but are classy, not trashy.  You’ll be an alluring goddess and spark desire in that special someone.  We believe the tease is sexier than the show, so we always leave something to the imagination.  Dripping with drama, mystery and romance!

Todd Muskopf painting on view at Dayton Society of Artists

 When I dropped off my entry for the art show at the Dayton Society of Artists, Gallery Director Jo Bell said "I didn't know you painted.  I was only familiar with your photography."  Yes, my art career began with a BFA in Fine Art Painting from Miami University.  I've sold my paintings through numerous galleries for the past 35 years.  If you google "M. Todd Muskopf paintings", I'm sure you'll find them.  The fact that I was formally trained as a fine artist makes my images different from other photographers.  If you'd like to see my "Landscape 418:  Path at Clifton Gorge", it is on view at DSA until the end of the month.

Jayda came in for a Sweet 16 session

 Jayda was visiting from Washington State and took a few hours out of her vacation schedule to have a photo session with me.  We took a lot of photos indoors in color and black and white and then we went to a few local parks and got even more variety!  


If you would like a retro glamour photo session, headshot session, or an Indoor/Outdoor session for a high school senior, sweet 16, or just because you think it would be fun, send me an email!

I collect vintage Movie Star photos!

 I've amassed a big collection of Old Hollywood movie star film stills.  They range in age from the 1910s to the 1970s, with most being from the 1930s and 1940s.  I just love the lighting, posing, and drama of vintage glamour.  


If you know someone who is ready to sell a collection of old movie star photos, I'd love to take a look.
