CEO Portraits and Headshots NYC: Executive & C-Suite

Individual executive portraits and professional headshots start at $449; remote CEO headshots from $100. If you’re researching CEO headshots cost in NYC, most projects fall into a custom-quote range based on how many people we’re photographing, whether we’re on site, in studio, or working remotely, and how quickly you need final files. Larger C-suite, leadership team, and board sessions are priced more like full corporate photography days, with rates depending on scope, where we’re shooting, and turnaround—whether you need a single CEO headshot or consistent imagery for CEOs, CFOs, and other senior executives across finance, law, and other conservative industries. Most business clients use these CEO portraits and leadership photos to create assets for company websites, LinkedIn profiles, press releases, annual reports, and other customer facing situations where you need to convey reliability, show the quality of your leadership team, and make a great first impression.

At our Times Square studio in NYC; on site at your office, boardroom, or home office; at a hotel or conference venue; or via remote CEO headshots. Many clients combine studio CEO portrait photography with business portraits and an environmental portrait in a real working space so leaders have both clean, simple backgrounds and more contextual photos that feel connected to day-to-day corporate photography. If you’re not sure which location fits the idea of how you want to show up in the business world, we’ll help you choose. Remote sessions are available worldwide if your executives are based outside New York.

Solid, mid-tone layers are usually the best starting point. As a rule of thumb, choose fitted formal attire or elevated business casual that feels appropriate for your industry and audience. Mid-tone colors photograph especially well—navy, gray, black, or white layers without heavy patterns—so the focus stays on your expression and overall image. Bringing 2–3 options (suit, blazer/knit/shirt) helps us find the combination that balances professionalism, confidence, and personality while supporting your personal branding as a leader. If you work in more conservative industries like finance or law, we’ll guide you toward more classic formal attire; more creative roles can support a bit more texture or color while still reading as polished. Before your session, we’ll send a short guide for preparing outfits and accessories, and on the day we’ll refine everything in person so it feels natural on camera.

Yes—our work includes CEO headshots, founder headshots, board imagery, business portraits, and leadership headshots for broader teams. Every session is designed around your business, from classic close-in headshots to slightly wider executive portraits that show more of the environment, using portrait photography and lighting setups refined over thousands of shots by our photographers.

When we photograph multiple leaders and other senior executives, we pay close attention to consistency in framing, backgrounds, and lighting so the whole team looks aligned across investor decks, company websites, LinkedIn profiles, press releases, and other professional headshot uses. For most people, this CEO headshot will be the one that lives on your company website and LinkedIn profile for years, shaping first impressions and signaling your expertise long before a meeting. Over the course of a session we’ll create a small portfolio of options and adjust pose, backdrop, and expression so you can choose the photos that feel most like you.

Yes—outdoor executive sessions around Midtown, FiDi, SoHo, Tribeca, and the Brooklyn waterfronts, plus in-office shoots with minimal disruption to your workday. On the day, we guide pose and posture so even people who don’t love being in public photos can relax, practice a few angles, and grow more confident in front of the camera. We bring a compact equipment setup and will recommend specific spots, backdrops, and the best time of day so you get flattering light and pictures that still look like real life, not staged.

Yes—remote headshots make it easy to photograph leaders who aren’t based in NYC or New York at all. We run everything online, using the same workflow for each session so executives across offices and time zones get consistent results that build credibility on company websites, LinkedIn, and other social media channels. That consistency makes your job easier when you’re growing quickly or hiring in multiple markets and need leadership photos that match, instead of a patchwork of different styles.

Yes—our rush options are available when timing is important. Many finance, law, and other conservative industries rely on expedited delivery for earnings calls, board announcements, press releases, and media requests where the goal is to present polished results fast. We understand how crucial timing can be when you’re up against news cycles and competition, so if you need images on a specific date, let us know in advance and we’ll build the right turnaround into your package without compromising quality.

CEO headshots are important because they often serve as the first real point of contact between you and your audience. In many customer facing situations—pitch meetings, media coverage, and key business intros—your CEO headshot quietly does the work of making first impressions and giving people a clear idea of who you are before you speak. A well-planned photo carries your brand story, signals how you lead, and sets expectations for investors, clients, and employees. The best CEO headshots feel confident and approachable without looking over-produced, and they can be reused across LinkedIn, speaking engagements, press releases, and annual reports. Investing in thoughtful executive headshots is a simple way to build long-term credibility and trust with stakeholders; these photos often play a bigger role in your professional life than most people expect.

Yes—many clients start with CEO headshots and then extend into personal branding sessions, team and business portraits, and on-site corporate photography. Our photographers and producers can map out a portrait photography plan that covers your CEO, C-suite, and key employees so your leadership page, About page, speaking bio, and PR imagery all feel aligned. Over the course of a year, this gives you a ready-to-use library of photos for media coverage, award nominations, and other projects instead of scrambling for a single shot whenever something comes up.
