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.

I’m a NYC headshot photographer specializing in capturing clean, confident images that feel true to you. I shoot out of my home studio in Long Island City and work with actors at every stage of their careers—whether you’re building your first portfolio or refreshing shots for your agent.
As both an actor and a photographer, I understand what casting directors are really looking for. Every session is designed to feel calm, focused, and collaborative—so you’re never stuck overthinking or forcing a look that doesn’t fit. The goal is simple: to create headshots that open doors, spark interest in the room, and give you the confidence to walk into auditions knowing your photos are working for you.
