Why Professional Headshots in NYC Are Essential
A professional headshot is often your first introduction—on LinkedIn, a company website, or a casting submission. In NYC’s competitive market, polished headshots help you stand out, communicate confidence, and make a lasting impression that opens doors with recruiters, clients, agents, and casting directors. Your headshot is your brand - and that brand should convey value.
Professional actor headshots are essential for casting directors, agents, and auditions. My NYC headshot photography highlights personality, confidence, and range, giving actors the polished images they need to stand out. With expert lighting, direction, and natural expression coaching, I create impactful headshots that open doors in film, television, and theater.
Model Portraits
Professional model portraits are essential for agencies, portfolios, and casting calls. As a New York City photographer, I create striking portraits that highlight versatility, personality, and style. With expert lighting, posing, and direction, my model photography builds strong portfolios that stand out in fashion, editorial, and commercial industries.
Professional corporate headshots showcase confidence, approachability, and leadership. As a New York City headshot photographer, I create polished portraits tailored for executives, teams, real estate agents, and LinkedIn profiles. With expert lighting, direction, and retouching, your corporate headshots will reflect professionalism, strengthen your brand, and make a lasting impression in business

My Photography Approach
Natural, polished, and uniquely you.
Every headshot session is designed to bring out your best. From the moment you walk into the studio, I create a relaxed, professional environment that makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. As a seasoned NYC headshot photographer, I guide you through natural poses, subtle expression changes, and tailored lighting setups that match your goals—whether it’s an executive portrait, an actor’s casting shot, or a model’s portfolio update.
My style is clean, timeless, and true to your personality. My work is different and it is unique and, while there are plenty of other headshot photographers doing beautiful work in the NYC area, if they’re all doing the same sort of beautiful how exactly are you going to stand out in a stack of beautiful headshots?
I focus on authenticity and polish, delivering headshots that feel confident, approachable, and professional. With careful editing and attention to detail, the final portraits are not just photos, but powerful tools that represent who you are.
The Client: A Young NYC Actress
Establishing a narrative
What
A young NYC actor preparing for auditions needed professional actor headshots to submit to casting directors and agencies. Their existing photos were outdated, casual, and not strong enough to make an impression in New York’s competitive acting market.
The Photography: Approach
Capturing moments intentionally
How
During our headshot session, I focused on capturing multiple looks that showcased personality, range, and adaptability. With professional lighting, wardrobe changes, and direction, we produced a mix of approachable, dramatic, and character-driven portraits tailored for both theater and film submissions.

Headshots for Actors
The first page of google for nyc headshot photographers in returns some beautiful results. From the tenth result to the first, the work is flawless, well-executed, and stunning. But it all also all looks sort of…the same? And if everyone in the casting has the same version of beautiful, how do any of them stand out?

How will you stand out?
My work is clean, well-executed, and more importantly, unique. From corporate headshots to actors, in a market where everyone at the top is competing to out-beautiful-one-another, the work I create with actors, artists, and executives is molded with the dual intentions of getting them to stand out and getting them into auditions. That’s it. That’s all I want to do.
I provide guidance on what to wear going into the nyc headshot pool and remaining competitive. I instruct you on what to expect, how to pose, and any and everything you could need day of or beforehand to ensure you’re facing the best direction possible.
You have a microsecond of time while that casting director flips through a stack of images and onto yours, or when that hiring director flicks through your resume - and if your headshot is beautiful but in the same brand of beautiful as the next headshot, how are you going to get that individual to give you the pause you need - no - deserve?
