Professional NYC Headshots for Finance Executives & Summer Interns

Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph headshots for a leading New York City finance group, focusing on three very different but equally important—objectives.

First, I captured professional portraits of the senior executive team with a real NYC skyline as a backdrop—perfect for highlighting their connection to the city.

Second, I used a clean glass wall in office as a background, which would make photoshopping out the background for a professionally retouched background easier. These images are ideal for use in press releases, company bios, and formal corporate materials. Also, these photos can easily match headshots / portraits from prior sessions while creating uniformity.

Third, we turned the lens toward the firm’s summer interns—many of whom were getting their very first professional headshot. For these future finance leaders, this wasn’t just about taking a picture—it was about creating a strong first impression. I made sure everyone felt comfortable, confident, and prepared, offering light posing direction and tips to bring out their best expressions.

These headshots will serve them well beyond the internship program—appearing on LinkedIn profiles, email signatures, and even resumes, helping them stand out in a competitive job market.

Whether I’m photographing seasoned executives or those just beginning their careers, my goal is always the same: deliver high-quality, approachable, and polished headshots that tell a story of professionalism and confidence.

If your NYC company is looking to update your team’s headshots—or welcome new interns with professional portraits—let’s make it happen. From on-location shoots with iconic backdrops to customized studio-style images, I’ll ensure every member of your team looks their best.

Tips for posing headshot photos

Finding a headshot photographer can be tough and becoming comfortable in front of the camera can be even tougher. When photographing headshots (or “portraits”, call it what you want) I keep it casual, relaxed, and open. Meaning, there’s no awkward posing and no uncomfortable moments of silence with a big camera pointing at you. When taking your photo I like to ask you questions about yourself, and what it is you like to do. If you think about the fun and happy things, you’ll relax and forget your being photographed. If you feel good, you’re guaranteed to look good.

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.

The scope of the assignment was to capture New York City, Robert, the importance of his job, and the times we live in all within as few photos as possible.
