Studio and Office Startup Team Headshots

Our New York team photography takes place in the studio or at your office. Individual professionals can separately request live-directed virtual headshot sessions.

Photograph your New York team in person, in our studio or at your office. Agree the lighting, background, crop and retouching reference before the shoot.

In-Studio NYC Shooting

Core company members shoot in our 545 8th Avenue Midtown studio with controlled lighting, modern equipment, and production support designed for busy founders and professionals.

Individual virtual sessions

An individual virtual headshot session pairs one person with a live photographer who guides the phone-camera setup, framing and expression. See virtual headshot sessions for the $200 package and request process.

Seamless Visual Matching

Advanced post-production brings lighting, backgrounds, crop, and retouching together so the final images work across websites, investor materials, pitch decks, press profiles, and LinkedIn profiles.

The Startup Challenge

Your company may have a founder in New York, product leaders in San Francisco, engineers in Austin, and advisors abroad. Traditional photography can leave you with different lighting, different photographers, mismatched backgrounds, and headshots that do not feel like one brand.

Flying everyone to New York City is expensive, and hiring separate photographers in every city can create more inconsistency, more scheduling work, and more editing problems.

The Startup Solution

Photograph your New York team in our professional studio or at your office. We guide each person and work to the agreed visual reference. Individual virtual sessions are available separately at $200 for one person.

Result: your team page, investor materials, pitch decks, press profiles and hiring pages follow the agreed visual reference from your studio or office session.

Why Teams Love This Approach

  • No need to fly the entire team to NYC

  • Same editorial quality for every team member

  • Can reduce the need for multiple location shoots, depending on team locations and approved scope

  • Consistent imagery for startup teams

  • Individual virtual sessions for founders

  • Professional startup headshots regardless of location

Plan the Image Set Around the Launch

Start with the channels that need photographs: founder bios, an investor or press page, the company team page, recruiting materials, and profiles for current employees or new hires. That list determines whether you need individual headshots only or a mix of portraits, small groups, and office images.

Choose one approved visual direction before the session. Record the background, crop, wardrobe range, expression and retouching approach so later hires can be photographed against the same standard. Include your studio or office location and headcount in the team quote request.

Founder portraits can use a more editorial treatment while the wider team keeps a repeatable company-page format. Approve both uses in the brief rather than asking one image to cover every channel.
