Corporate Headshot Photographer in NYC
What Is a Corporate Headshot?
A corporate headshot is the professional image a business uses to represent its team — on the website, in an individual bio, on the team page, on LinkedIn.
It's the photograph that does the talking before you ever say a word.

We genuinely love photography and appreciate how it can elevate a business or career. In our view, strong technical skills and know-how are the underpinning of every great photo. This is where we live - at the photography nexus of creative + technical. We are inspired by legacy photographers like Leibovitz and Avedon, but are always looking at our amazing contemporary photography peers.
Years of working with businesses has taught us that it is not just creative ability and technical skills that make a good photo. The magic dust is how we take care of a subject. We walk into a shoot with an approachable expertise that is not intimidating. We are personable, knowing the first step is to make people feel comfortable. When that rapport happens, we know we will have a successful shoot.

We photograph business clients who care about their brand and hold a high standard for the imagery that represents it — law firms, financial institutions, and corporate clients.
We take care of groups that are trying to lift their members – career development at universities, ERG programs, and associations that support their members.
Clients who chose us are thinking beyond a single use case. A headshot today has to work across every public-facing channel: the website, the firm directory, and the team's individual LinkedIn profiles.

Some clients want to keep it simple – a mid-level grey backdrop with the same crop on every image. This is a great place to start with a business that wants to align their images but is not looking to jump into a creative project.
Maybe your company is a real estate firm or a law firm that traditional uses their space as a background to evoke something about the company. As long as you have the right location for that shot, or a template from a previous shoot that we can clip an image onto, go with the environmental look.
Remember, consistency does not have to mean that every background is the same. If you are a multi-city business, you might choose a different background, but one that is similar in tone, for each office. If you use more than one color in your branding, you might alternate background colors to refer back to that branding. Be intentional with your choices but if there is room to have some fun and be creative, go for it!
