Looks that balance authority, warmth, and subject-matter credibility
Horizontal, vertical, square, and tight crops for publishing and events

Production Workflow
How the speaker & author headshots session is built
Define the public role
We clarify whether the portrait should feel literary, academic, founder-led, keynote-ready, or media-friendly.
Create usable variations
The session gives you clean bio images plus more contextual portraits for websites and announcements.
Deliver for press use
Files are prepared for web bios, event programs, publishers, podcast artwork, and publicity requests.
Field Notes
What changes the shoot in real life
These are practical planning details we account for before the session, so the page reflects how the shoot actually works in NYC.
A keynote portrait should read clearly even at small event-page sizes.
Book portraits often need more restraint than social content.
Hands, posture, and eye line change whether the image feels expert or promotional.
