Brooklyn Professional Headshots

HEADSHOT: noun /'hed,SHät/
The #1 impression and  message  you communicate to others in the online world we live in .

Are you and your message IN or OUT OF SYNC?

You’re unique. Your headshot should be too. We ensure you’ll look confident, polished, and professional.

Our Focus is You

Where will you use your images? What are you conveying?

Our clients are actors, lawyers, executives, medical professionals… Different people… different goals. No cookie-cutter solutions here.

Before your shoot, we’ll dive into your needs, purpose, apparel, and more.

Your goal - better headshots and a great experience. 

Uncomfortable being in front of a camera? We can relate.
If you “own it” in front of the lens, we get that too.

That’s why we’re here.

    My father, civil engineer by day, photographer afterwards, was my first photography teacher. From letting me watch him develop and print from film in our kitchen darkroom when I was little, then assist when older, he passed his knowledge and love of the craft to me. From this, first family, friends, and now clients have quality images to recall the moments, people and events that count for them.
    My intent: for you to enjoy the experience and love your imagery.

    Partner

    My photography interest started in the 1970’s, I was shooting for profit by ‘76 and in 2014 after years in the corporate world incorporated it and film-making into the media related businesses I run with Ellen.
    My perspective: Your headshot needs to work for you - convey the message you want whether it’s personal, business, branding or performance-related. A little added fun wouldn’t hurt too. I look forward to shooting with you.

    I attended Drew University (NJ) for one year – dropping out before being “dismissed” for excessive partying. Contemplating my options, I decided my entertaining nature would be most advantageous in a creative business environment. Nat and Ellen agree.

How it works

Before the session, we discuss how your images can work for you.

We shoot "tethered" - your photos appear on a big computer screen. It's easy and we both can see how you look. We coach on expression, confidence, and more as needed… the little things that make the difference. We keep it relaxed and take as much time as needed to capture the real you – authentic smiles and all. A little fun might be thrown in as well.

At the end of the session, we review your images in person with you choose your best looks for retouching. You are not locked into a package or set number of images.
