I'm a Headshot and Portrait Photographer based in New York City.


If 25 years in NYC makes you a New Yorker, then I guess I'm a New Yorker. I'm proud to have moonlighted as a Broadway and Broadway Touring actor.


As a professional actor, I've experienced firsthand the importance of an excellent headshot. With the sheer number of a actor headshots a casting director looks through in a day, a standout headshot that captures you is essential .


Today this is true for everyone. In business, your profile photo is your first impression - often daily. A professional headshot tells the world you mean business.
