Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a headshot photographer in New York City?
Start with the purpose of the photographs. An actor preparing materials for casting may need a different session from an executive updating LinkedIn or a company arranging portraits for a team. Review each photographer’s work and services, then contact the person whose approach best fits your needs.

Do your New York City photographers create actor headshots?
Yes. Ben Esner and Nick Coleman photograph actors, and David Pexton also offers actor headshots. Visit their profiles to learn more about their work and session options.

Can I arrange headshots for my company or team?
Yes. David Pexton and Nick Coleman offer corporate and team photography. Contact them directly with your location, team size and intended use for the images.

Where do sessions take place?
Locations vary. David Pexton offers individual sessions at a Financial District studio by appointment and on-location work. Ben Esner works from his Brooklyn studio and on location. Nick Coleman works from his Midtown Manhattan studio and at locations across New York City.

Can the photographers travel to our office?
Some sessions can take place at an office or another suitable location, depending on the photographer and project. Contact the photographer directly with your location and what you have in mind.

What should I wear for a professional headshot?
Choose clothing that suits your work and how you want to be seen. Solid colours often photograph well, while large logos and busy patterns can draw attention away from your face. Our guide, What should I wear for a business headshot?, offers more suggestions.
