Headshots that Help Actors and Businesses Succeed

Since first opening my doors in 2006, I’ve photographed literally thousands of acting and corporate headshots. Consistently named one of the top headshot photographers in New York City, I specialize in headshots for actors, executives, musicians — and just about any field you can imagine. Whether you’re an aspiring actor hoping to stand out in a sea of thumbnail images or a business person wanting to energize your LinkedIn profile, every success story begins with a powerful headshot. But for many people getting headshots is a chore that they keep postponing year after year. It’s intimidating and even downright scary. If that sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place! I specialize in helping beginners and people who hate being in front of the camera. I’ll guide you through the process every step of the way, help you to feel comfortable and show you how to put your best face forward.

When you book one of my headshot packages, I take the time to get to know you and what you’re trying to achieve. It starts with a free 30-minute FaceTime session to talk about your goals and background, and to rummage through your closet. Together we come up with several looks we can try during your shoot. This first step alleviates so much of the anxiety and uncertainty surrounding your headshot session — and frees you up to do the more important work of connecting with the camera.

Headshots That Are Authentic and Timeless

Headshot photography trends seem to change every couple of years but a headshot that is authentically you will never go out of style. Over the years my clients have won leading roles on TV, Broadway, national tours, commercials, and even Oscar-nominated films. As a headshot photographer, my aim is to capture the “real you.” I take the time to get to know you and tailor the headshot session to meet your needs.

“Just wanted to thank you again for the headshots! They just got me a casting with Estée Lauder this Sunday and I’ll be shooting a commercial tomorrow with Karlie Kloss! Insane!!! You are the best!”

Headshots in a Comfortable and Supportive Atmosphere

My headshot sessions take place in a comfortable and supportive environment. I guide you through the process step by step. Because of my own experiences when I was a young actor, I have a passion for encouraging people just starting out and helping people who feel insecure to find their confidence. I’ll suggest ways to pose and look your best but, most of all, to be yourself. To learn more about my shooting process, click here.

“Your headshots have opened so many doors. Since I started auditioning I have been cast in two plays, one in the lead which is amazing. I sent my headshots to a few agents and Don Buchwald & Associates called me in... And the latest? I got a callback for the national tour of Dreamgirls!”
— Tamala, actress
