Startup Headshots NYC | Editorial Team Photos

Individual professional headshots for founders and startup leaders start at $449; remote startup headshots begin at $100 per person. Our startup headshot pricing is organized into clear packages for individual headshots, small groups, and full corporate headshots days, so you can choose the headshot package that fits your budget and stage. Final headshot cost depends on how many people are photographed, the mix of studio vs. on-location sessions, and how many final photos and retouched images you’d like delivered. We focus on real photography—no automated AI headshots—so your investment goes into high-quality images that actually work for investors, customers, and your long-term brand.

You can book professional startup and corporate headshots at our Times Square studio in New York City, on-location at your office or coworking space, at an off-site or company retreat, or fully remote. Some companies photograph the whole team in one single-day photoshoot; others mix in-person sessions with remote teams working in different time zones. Wherever we shoot, the goal is the same: clean, consistent headshots you can use across your website, about page, team page, LinkedIn profiles, investor decks, and other places where people first meet your company.

Alongside startups and growth-stage companies, we regularly create corporate headshots and business portraits for law firms, finance and VC teams, tech companies, creative agencies, and entrepreneurs across New York and beyond. Whether you’re updating leadership headshots for a boutique fund, refreshing team photos for a law firm, or building a library of images for internal comms, our headshot photographers understand the expectations of different industries and tailor the session to your audience.

A standard headshot session runs 10–45 minutes per person. Your photographer sets up professional lighting, tests a few angles, and walks you through posing and expression coaching so every shot tells the right story about your role. We capture a range of looks—usually a mix of tighter LinkedIn crops and slightly wider options—then you review proofs and mark favorites. From there, we apply realistic retouching and deliver polished, web-ready files with fast turnaround.

For startup headshots in NYC, we usually recommend simple outfits in solid, mid-tone colors. Bring 2–3 options (jacket/knit/shirt) so we can pick the outfit that feels right for your role and industry. Many founders choose a mix of formal and slightly more casual clothing—think tailored blazer over a tee or knit—for versatility across pitch decks, profiles, and press. Avoid heavy patterns, busy stripes, or very bright neons; a dark jacket (navy, charcoal, or black) with a lighter top tends to photograph well and keeps the focus on your face. Choose clothing that reflects the field you’re in and the job or role you’re moving toward; when you feel comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing, it shows in your expression.

Yes—CEO portraits, founder headshots, leadership and thought-leadership portraits for executive teams, and corporate headshots for key individuals. We often build a session that combines classic, investor-facing portraits with slightly wider shots that hint at your product, workspace, or company culture. The goal is a set of images that support your personal brand, marketing, and PR—whether you’re updating a portfolio of profiles for your next funding round or creating new photos for speaking engagements and videos.

Yes—outdoor startup headshots around Midtown, FiDi, SoHo, Tribeca, and the Brooklyn waterfronts, plus in-office and in-coworking shoots with minimal disruption. We bring a compact mobile studio with professional lighting and simple backgrounds so your office can function as a clean set. On the day, we guide pose, posture, and expression so even camera-shy founders end up with natural, confident shots that look like the real person behind the company.

Yes, Match is fully insured for on-site work in New York City. For offices, law firms, and larger organizations, we can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) in advance so building management and security teams have everything they need. Whether we’re setting up in your lobby, conference room, or coworking space, our headshot photography setup and logistics are designed to be safe, efficient, and easy to host.

or launch needs?

Yes—our rush options are designed for the fast-paced world of startups. When a launch, MVP demo, investor meeting, or press feature becomes top priority, we can often fast-track retouching so you have new photos ready for pitch decks, websites, and press kits within your deadline. Same-day or next-day delivery depends on timing, team size, and how many final images you need; we’ll walk you through what’s realistic when you inquire so you can make decisions quickly.

Yes—sessions can be canceled or rescheduled within our studio’s reschedule/cancellation window. We know startup calendars change fast, so if something shifts with your product launch, budget, or runway, just reach out as early as possible. We’ll look at available hours, talk through options for moving the session, and help you keep momentum without losing your spot. Check out our cancellation and rescheduling policy here.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to book the session. Learn more about our return policy. Refunds follow our studio policy and depend on timing, scope, and how much pre-production work has already been done for your shoot. We share these details up front so it’s easy to understand what happens if plans change. Clear policies help build trust and make it straightforward to re-book or adjust future sessions as your team grows.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Afterpay/Clearpay. A 50% deposit is required to book the session, remaining 50% is paid after the shoot. Be sure to take a look at our cancellation, rescheduling, and return policy. Payment is handled securely online. Most companies pay by major credit card, but we can discuss other options depending on the size of your project and whether it’s a one-time photoshoot or ongoing content package. You’ll receive a confirmation and invoice by email, and once the retainer is paid, your date, studio time, and production team are reserved.
