NYC Headshot Photographer for Actors & Professionals
Brooklyn-Based Studio — A Calm, Confidence-Building Approach
Hancock Headshots is a Brooklyn-based headshot photography studio serving actors and professionals throughout New York City.
Since opening my studio in 2006, I’ve photographed thousands of actor, corporate, and personal branding headshots for clients at every stage of their career.
Recognized among the top headshot photographers in NYC, I work with actors, executives, musicians, and creatives who want images that feel natural, confident, and unmistakably themselves.
“Wow! I love my headshot! Looks amazing! Truly. Everything is perfect. I can’t express how grateful I am for your amazing work. I had such a great time and am truly happy with my pictures.”
Headshots for Actors & Professionals in NYC
Whether you’re an actor hoping to stand out in a sea of thumbnail images or a business professional refreshing your LinkedIn profile, a strong headshot is often the first—and most lasting—impression.
While the goals may differ, the need is the same: an image that feels authentic, current, and engaging.
A Supportive Experience — Especially If You’re Camera-Shy
For many people, getting their photo taken feels intimidating, uncomfortable, or easy to postpone year after year. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
I specialize in working with people who don’t love being photographed. My sessions are calm, unhurried, and guided every step of the way—designed to help you relax, feel supported, and show up naturally in front of the camera. This approach is especially helpful for first-time headshots, but just as valuable for seasoned professionals who want a more easeful experience.
“Thank you so much for doing such a great job with my headshots. You’ve been such a sweetheart throughout this whole process. I really appreciate all you did for me...””
What Working Together Looks Like
Every headshot session includes a complimentary 30-minute FaceTime consultation prior to the shoot. During our call, we’ll talk through your goals, background, and how you want to be seen—and even review wardrobe options together.
By the time you arrive at the studio, much of the uncertainty has already been addressed. That preparation allows you to focus on the more important work: connecting confidently with the camera.
“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!”
Brooklyn Studio, Serving All of NYC
Sessions are photographed primarily in my Brooklyn studio, with clients coming from across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and beyond. The studio setting offers privacy, consistency, and a relaxed environment—ideal for creating focused, expressive headshots.
“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!”
