The Team Behind the Camera

Photography Leadership

A team led by Alex Karnyukhin

Founder and Head of Photography Alex Karnyukhin has photographed more than 30 magazine covers, including Forbes, Inc., Esquire, GQ and Men's Health, plus advertising campaigns for Reebok, Puma and Adidas.

A Consistent Workflow

Direction from capture through retouching

A lead photographer directs each session. On team days, a producer or assistant manages the running order and lighting consistency. After the shoot, your selections move through the same photography and retouching workflow.

Our studio is at 545 8th Avenue, Suite 2111, in Midtown Manhattan. We also photograph teams on location at their offices.

Your Story, Perfectly Framed

A strong headshot is not just a clean picture. It is a professional tool that has to work across your LinkedIn profile, company bio, website, press materials, investor decks, speaking pages, and internal directories.

As a New York headshot photographer, Match Production focuses on expression, posture, lighting, and the quiet details that make a portrait feel confident. We guide you through the session so you do not have to know how to pose, where to look, or what to do with your hands.

The result is a portrait you can use across real business contexts: clean enough for corporate use, polished enough for press, and natural enough to still feel like you. We shoot for images that feel refined, modern, and useful, not generic or over-retouched.

Session Rates: Individual, Team and Remote

A professional headshot session should be clear before you arrive: how long the session takes, how many looks you can create, what is included, and how the final images can be used.

Our headshot photography NYC packages are built for individuals, founders, executives, professionals, and teams who need a polished result without turning the process into a full-day production. Sessions include guided posing, professional lighting, a private online gallery, selected retouching, and unlimited usage rights.

Expert Headshot Photography for Every Professional

The right professional headshot photographer NYC clients choose should understand more than camera settings. A strong session needs direction, clean lighting, natural expression coaching, consistent retouching, and a clear sense of where the image will appear.

At Match Production, we create professional images for executives, founders, consultants, creatives, startup teams, and business professionals who need a portrait that feels current and credible. The goal is not to make everyone look the same. The goal is to create a headshot that fits your role, your brand, and the way people will encounter you online.

Each session is built around a simple idea: you should leave with images that are easy to use and hard to outgrow.

A strong headshot session gives you clear direction while keeping your expression natural. We plan the background and framing around where the image will be used, then guide posture, expression, and small adjustments during the shoot.

Your Journey to a Perfect Headshot

A good headshot session should feel simple, even when the result looks polished. We guide the process from planning to delivery so you are not guessing what to wear, how to pose, which background to choose, or which image will work best for your professional goals.

Our process is built for people who may not love being photographed. We direct expression, posture, framing, and small details throughout the shoot so the final images feel confident, natural, and usable.

Headshot process timeline

  1. Step 1: Consultation & Booking

    We start by understanding how you plan to use the images. You may need a LinkedIn profile photo, company bio image, press portrait, speaker page image, team directory photo, or a set of portraits for broader brand use.

    Once the session type is clear, we confirm the format, timing, background direction, and any visual preferences. If you are comparing a professional headshot studio NYC option with an on-location setup, we help choose the format that fits the use case.

  2. Step 2: The Photoshoot

    During the photoshoot, we guide you through posing, posture, expression, angle, and small adjustments that make the image feel more natural. You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose.

    Our Midtown studio is built for clean studio lighting and controlled backgrounds. On-location sessions are available for companies that want the same visual consistency inside their own office.

  3. Step 3: Image Selection & Retouching

    After the shoot, you receive access to a private online gallery with color-corrected images. From there, you choose the images for final retouching.

    Retouching is clean and natural. We refine skin, clothing, flyaways, background details, and small distractions while keeping you recognizable. The goal is a polished professional image, not a fake-looking portrait.

  4. Step 4: Final Delivery

    Your final retouched headshots are delivered as high-resolution digital files with unlimited usage rights. You can use them for LinkedIn, company websites, press pages, speaker bios, internal platforms, investor materials, and other business needs.

    Delivery timing is confirmed based on the schedule, image count, and retouching scope.

Your Headshot Questions Answered

Here are clear answers to the most common questions about professional headshot sessions in New York.

  • Look for someone who understands both photography and business use cases. Strong NYC headshot photographers should offer clean lighting, natural direction, consistent retouching, useful background options, private galleries, and final images that work for LinkedIn, company websites, press materials, and professional bios.

    The best fit is usually not the photographer who simply takes the most dramatic portrait. It is the team that can help you look polished, credible, and still like yourself.

  • A lead photographer directs your session from the first frame through image selection. On team days, a producer or assistant manages the running order and lighting consistency. Founder and Head of Photography Alex Karnyukhin sets the studio's photography and retouching standards.

    Depending on the package, your session may include one or multiple outfits, one or multiple backdrops, and studio or on-location production.

  • Yes. We create retouched professional headshots for LinkedIn, company bios, websites, press profiles, speaker pages, internal directories, and team pages.

    For companies, we can also create retouched corporate headshots ready for company websites with consistent lighting, background, framing, and final delivery.

  • Yes. We photograph individuals, founders, executives, small teams, and larger company groups. For a business team, we plan the session around the number of people, office flow, schedule, and required final images.

  • Yes. Individual sessions are available at our Midtown Manhattan studio at 545 8th Avenue. Corporate and team sessions can take place in the studio or at your office.

    Choose the studio when you want controlled lighting, clean backgrounds, and a private setting. Choose on-location production when keeping the team at the office is more practical.

  • Proofs are delivered through a private gallery after the session. Final retouching follows your selections, with timing confirmed according to the schedule, image count, and retouching scope.

  • Look for controlled lighting, clear direction, natural retouching, defined usage rights, and an organized delivery process.

    Match Production offers studio and on-location sessions for professionals, founders, executives and teams.
