NYC Actor Headshots

Headshots For Actors Who stand out.
In a sea of submissions, your headshot needs to do more than look good—it needs to say something. As a NYC headshot photographer who’s also an actor, I create images that capture your essence, your range, and your readiness. Whether you’re just starting out or leveling up, these aren’t just headshots—they’re tools built to get you noticed, called in, and remembered. Based in Long Island City and working throughout the city, I offer professional sessions tailored for actors who are ready to stand out—with intention.

Who Am I?




@Jon_Vane
Actor First
I’ve been in this industry for nearly 20 years—I audition, I book, and I have incredible agents behind me. I know the highs, the rejection, and the frustration of trying to stand out. That’s why I shoot differently. I know what it’s like to be on your side of the camera, and how important it is to feel seen—and to walk away with images that actually work for your career.
Collaborator Always
I don’t just press the shutter—I guide, adjust, and work with you to bring out the most grounded, compelling version of you in every shot.
Focused on results
These aren’t just pretty pictures. They’re strategic tools designed to help you get called in, get noticed, and book.

I needed an updated headshot for my LinkedIn and Slack, and Jonathan absolutely nailed it. The photos were exactly what I was looking for, and he made sure to take plenty of shots so I could choose the one I loved most. He also gave really helpful posing guidance throughout, which made the whole process easy and comfortable. I was a little nervous to come in and have professional photos taken but he made me feel very at-ease. Meeting Remy was a plus! I’m extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional headshots.Posted on Abrue HussainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

He is professional, warm, kind, knowledgeable, and most of all you can tell he loves what he does. He is passionate about photography and using his art to bring the best pictures to life.
