NYC Professional Headshot at MLB Offices

Finding a NYC Headshot Photographer that works with you.

Today’s assignment was for a longtime client and my alma-mater, Binghamton University. The assignment was to capture fellow alum Seth around his office at the Major League Baseball (MLB) in Manhattan, NY. My goal was to highlight his place of work and his journey to becoming one of the top most successful IT Networking specialist in NYC in to his photos. The images created are to be used alongside a written article, which will be published online and in print, on his personal LinkedIn photo, and elsewhere.

Tips for posing for your professional headshot photo

• Relax - That’s easier said than done. However, I always “chat it up” with my subject and get to know them. This casual environmental allows the subject to almost forget they are being photographed. Being photographed becomes secondary.

• Location, Location, Location - The standard flat background is great. However, it does not show off, nor highlight, your individuality. Find a location you know and where you feel comfortable. A photographer’s studio is most likely not that location.

• Dress like you normal would, plus some. - If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you look good. Wear something comfortable because it will make you comfortable, and it’ll show in your photos.

Jocelyn NYC Headshot - Binghamton University Alumni

A recent headshot session for longtime client Binghamton University of alumnus Jocelyn. The photos captured during this session will appear in the Fall 2021 issue of the university’s quarterly magazine.

After graduating Binghamton University in the Spring of 2020, Jocelyn enlisted in the Army. As a Long Island, NY resident and military personnel, Jocelyn was tasked with working at the Jacob Javitz Center on Manhattan’s West Side during the COVID-19 pandemic.

NYC Headshot Photography doesn’t have to be done on a plain background when your background is as great as NYC itself.

For this assignment, I wanted to highlight the location Jocelyn worked, New York, and her service. The school’s magazine sent me a brief bio about Jocelyn and high level overview of the written piece. As a headshot photographer, I like to incorporate elements of the written word in to my headshot photos. A plain white background although effective at times, can come off as sterile and uninviting.

Registered Dietitian Headshot - Marissa Campbell

Some recent Professional Headshot work photographed in Denver Colorado! No matter where we photograph headshots, the formula is the same. We photograph photos that make our subjects not only look good but feel good. Long Island, New York City, or Denver Colorado a quality portrait photo is key!

Marissa Campbell is a Registered Dietitian in Colorado. She works primarily with patients who suffer or are recovering from eating disorders.

Marissa was in need of updating her website and social platforms with a new photo of herself. She wanted something that looked clean and professional while still feeling casual and inviting.

To give Marissa options, we set up a neutral backdrop and an environmental setup. I worked on blurring the environmental shot and choosing generic, not distracting locations.

NYC or Long Island Professional Headshots

Luckily, You don’t have to travel to Colorado for great headshots. We shoot professional headshots right here on Long Island and in NYC.

Patrick Lorio - Golf Course Superintendents Association of America

Long Island Headshot Photographers

When I met Patrick, the Head Manager of Turf at the Engineers Country Club, I asked him to show me his favorite spots on the course. In his headshot photos I wanted to capture what makes the course, the grounds, and it’s facilities unique. So, we took two golf carts out and drove around for a bit. As we drove, Patrick proved to be super informative and passionate about his role at the Roslyn Harbor, NY country club and about Long Island’s unique geography.

The best headshot photo is one that shows you as you. This photo will work as your LinkedIn photo, email signature photo, and as an all around identity.

“From the top of the 15th hole you can see the NYC skyline faintly in the distance. At night when it’s clearer the whole city looks amazing from up here”, he explained. Patrick also told me just how unique Long Island’s North Shore golf courses are in comparison to the rest of the country. Long Island courses naturally feature dramatic hills, terrific soil conditions, and shady tall trees. In comparison, when building a golf course elsewhere hills have to be made, trees have to be planted, and soil has to be developed.

So, how did the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America find this Long Island photographer? I’m certainly no expert of “country club club turf management”. The answer is simple, S.E.O. I’ve been working on pushing relevant and geotagged content to blogs and pages on my website.
