BASIC SESSION From start to finish, expect to be here up to 2 hours. This is a custom, studio headshot session, in Cedarhurst, Long Island, for one person. I am a six minute walk from the Cedarhurst, LIRR train station. And there is plenty of municipal parking adjacent to the building. You will be guided every step of the way, from posing to image selection. My desire and number one goal is to create photos that you will be very confident using. I promise you will end up with headshots that project: intelligence, warmth, approachability, confidence, and either a fun or conservative vibe, or both. That is up to you! Each delivered final photo will be cropped for all of your different needs. Some of the most basic uses are: website home page and about me page, company website or directory, LinkedIn and social media. Other uses are: author photo, business card, press release, newsletter, speakers bureau, general publicity headshot. You will be able to select your photos at the session. If you are unable to decide, an online gallery will be provided for 5 days. Wardrobe changes are encouraged but not necessary in order to yield multiple photos. Several lighting set-ups and backgrounds will be used. The session fee: 195. All photos are purchased a la carte: 125 each.
EXECUTIVES and THEATRICAL PROFESSIONALS Expect to be here up to 4 hours. If you are looking for a range of photos, this session can yield an extensive variety of headshots. Five to six wardrobe changes is encouraged. I will use multiple backgrounds and lighting set-ups to maximize the range of looks. We will shoot indoors and can go outside. The outdoors has 2 general atmospheres: nondescript greenery and trees, and slightly urban/suburban. Six retouched photos and 30, un-retouched outtakes are included. Session fee: 750.
RETOUCHING, the outtakes A la carte retouching on outtakes from your session, 50 per headshot.
GROUP RATE I can travel to your place of business anywhere in the New York metropolitan area. Location set-up fee is 150. I bring a back drop or we can use the environment. All of the equipment I need to create the same service offered in the studio is brought on-location. There is generally enough time for guided on-site selection of headshots. Otherwise a gallery is provided. Click here to request an estimate. Alternatively, for small companies or new hires, individuals can schedule staggered sessions at the studio, and I will match the headshots to your current website.
LOCATION Minimum charge to go on-location is 500. This rate is for one or two people, or a group.
PROFESSIONAL MAKE UP For an additional fee a make-up artist can come to your session or you can make an appointment to see her at the salon before your session. The salon is approximately a mile away.
PROFESSIONAL HAIR STYLING An optional add-on that will elevate a good headshot to a great headshot is professional hairstyling, or a blow-out. I can recommend a local salon, one mile away, that has several stylists and an excellent colorist.
