Virtual Headshots: Remote Executive Photography, New York, USA
Virtual Headshots New York for founders and executives—live-directed remote headshots with studio-clean, LinkedIn-ready results across NYC, utilizing professional photography for high-quality, studio-like images. Virtual headshots are a cost-effective solution for teams and individuals, offering significant savings compared to traditional studio sessions.
The Evolution of Headshots
Traditional studio days don’t fit today’s distributed teams. People are split across cities, home offices, and coworking spaces. Remote team headshots give your company a consistent, professional image—without leaving the office or rearranging everyone’s calendar.
Work Went Remote. Headshots Did Too.
Traditional headshots are typically conducted in a controlled studio environment with professional lighting and equipment, requiring a professional photographer and often several hours including travel and setup. In contrast, virtual headshots and AI headshots are a cost-effective solution, with remote options often starting from $100 and completed on a fast turnaround. Virtual headshots are also scalable for companies, making it easy to add new team members without the need for in-person sessions. This approach saves both time and money while still delivering quality headshots and professional photos.
And most importantly: these are real photos, created by a real professional photographer in real time, not an AI filter. Clients often tell us it feels like working with an amazing photographer in the room, and that the final virtual headshot looks like a great headshot from a studio day.
How Virtual Headshot Sessions Work
We built the process so HR, People Ops, and team leads don’t have to micromanage every detail or track progress in spreadsheets.
Simple booking for executives
You receive one secure booking link. Choose a time slot, join from their phone, and we take it from there. It’s a streamlined way to run team headshots across offices and time zones.
Live-directed virtual headshots
During each session we connect via the CLOS App, use the rear camera for higher quality, and capture full-resolution photos while coaching posture and expression—like a classic corporate headshot session, just remote—so you get professional images ready for LinkedIn, bios, press, and decks.
Review & files delivery
Files land in a private gallery for easy review and selection. Once favorites are chosen, we retouch and deliver final edited images—LinkedIn-ready, web-optimized professional images—usually within 24–48 hours.
Packages & Team Pricing
And yes, we offer team pricing and discounts. Corporate packages start at 15 people and scale with your headcount, and remote sessions are generally more cost-effective than traditional studio options for team headshots, since there’s no studio rental, travel, or downtime between sessions.
When Virtual Headshots Make More Sense Than a Studio
Remote headshots are a strong choice when:
Your team is hybrid or remote across multiple cities and time zones.
You’re onboarding new employees and new hires regularly and need a repeatable system.
Virtual headshots are a cost-effective and scalable solution for remote teams, allowing you to add new team members easily without in-person sessions.
Virtual headshots help save time and money compared to traditional studio sessions.
There’s no appetite for studio travel or on-site lighting setups.
You want corporate headshots that respect everyone’s calendar and still look consistent in every photo.
Local studios or on-location shoots may be better when:
You need wider environmental portraits in your office or specific locations. Portraits are typically more casual or artistic, while professional headshots are polished and tailored for business branding.
You’re planning a full executive day with personal-branding portraits and more complex lighting and backgrounds.
The brief requires props, sets, or campaign-style imagery.
A professional headshot photographer can provide expert pose guidance, lighting, and editing for the highest quality professional photos.
That hybrid model is exactly what makes Match different: while most photographers offer either local sessions or remote services, we’re set up to do both seamlessly, especially if your headquarters are in California or New York.
