Professional headshot photography for New York executives, finance, law, real estate, and creative professionals. On-site at your Manhattan office or in studio — built for LinkedIn, firm bios, and the way New York does business.
The New York Market
New York runs on credibility, and credibility runs through a small photo at the top of your LinkedIn profile, your firm bio, the conference programme, and the deal memo. From Midtown and the Financial District to SoHo, Tribeca, and Brooklyn, every analyst, partner, broker, agent, founder, and creative is being scanned by recruiters, clients, and counterparties before a single message is sent.
Most New York professionals are still represented by a five-year-old headshot, a phone selfie, or a photo cropped out of a group dinner. In a city this competitive, that's not a small detail — that's the difference between getting the call back and getting overlooked. New York doesn't reward effort, it rewards presentation.
Reel Time Creations travels to New York for on-site corporate headshot sessions. We bring the same lighting, retouching, and direction we use on brand campaigns — applied to the photo that opens every introduction you make in finance, law, real estate, media, and tech.
What RTC Delivers in New York
Every New York session is built around how the city's business culture presents itself — modern, deliberate, and quietly polished. Individuals, executive teams, or full-floor headshot days, on-site across Manhattan and the boroughs or in studio.
What's Included
We treat your headshot the way we treat a brand campaign — planned, directed, finished. Here's what each phase looks like for New York clients.
Why RTC for New York Headshots
RTC travels to New York for on-site corporate headshot days. Our team brings the studio to your Midtown tower, FiDi firm, or SoHo office — so a full-team headshot session fits inside your business day with no commute time burning into billable hours.
The same team that retouches video and brand campaigns for our New York and Toronto clients handles your headshots. Skin, light, and color land between magazine and natural — the polish New York firms expect on a website, a pitch deck, or a press release.
We regularly photograph entire firms, brokerage teams, and executive groups in a single day. Lighting and editing stay consistent across every person, so your firm directory, attorney bio page, or partner roster reads as one brand instead of a patchwork of mismatched photos.
Client Reviews
RTC traveled to our Midtown office for a partner-level headshot day. They set up a full lighting kit in the conference room, ran the partners through one at a time, and kept the day on schedule without us lifting a finger. The retouching is the kind of polish you usually only see in legal directories at the very top of the industry.
I was overdue for a new LinkedIn photo and a colleague at our fund recommended RTC. Studio shoot, two outfits, finished in under 90 minutes. The retouch was natural — not the over-airbrushed look most NYC photographers default to. Three recruiters reached out the week after I updated my profile, which is more than the prior twelve months combined.
We coordinated a 35-person headshot day across two floors of our FiDi office. RTC ran the entire production, kept everyone moving, and delivered the final retouched gallery in five business days. The firm directory looks completely different — every photo lit and edited the same way, which is exactly what we'd been missing.
FAQ
RTC is headquartered in Toronto with active New York clients. Our team travels to NYC for on-site corporate headshot days and shoots at your office anywhere from Midtown, Hudson Yards, and the Financial District to SoHo, Tribeca, and Brooklyn. Account management, editing, and delivery are handled remotely — the same way we serve clients across multiple cities. Travel is included transparently in the quote we send after the discovery call.
For a standard corporate headshot day at a New York office, we typically photograph between 20 and 40 people in a 6–8 hour session. Each person gets multiple looks, expressions, and time to settle in. For executive sessions with wardrobe changes and environmental shots, we plan a slower pace — usually 5–10 people in a half day. We scope this with you on the discovery call once we know team size and the floor plan.
Standard turnaround is 5–7 business days from shoot day for the full set of retouched, web-and-print-ready files. For urgent launches — new partner announcements, IPO press, conference materials — we offer rush delivery in 48 to 72 hours. Every client receives an online proofing gallery first so individuals or the firm's marketing lead can select preferred frames before we move to final retouch.
