New York City’s Premier Professional Photographer 

Headshots | Portraits | Branding Photography & More

I’m David, a New York-based branding, lifestyle, and headshot photographer and originally from the UK, living in Brooklyn with my wife Christine (who also happens to be my secret weapon on shoots). I specialize in modern corporate headshots, for professionals and actors, relaxed lifestyle portraits, and editorial photography.

Over the years, I’ve photographed CEOs, creatives actors and congresswomen. My work’s been featured in The New Yorker, Tech Bites and Globes. and I’ve collaborated with brands like Amtrak, Bank of America, and Q Mixers, delivering clean, confident imagery that feels natural.

Christine, my wife and a trained actor/director, often joins me on set. She is amazing at making people feel comfortable and at ease especially the “I hate having my photo taken” crowd. With her around, shoots are even more fun, which means better photos and way fewer forced smiles!

We keep things relaxed, efficient, and collaborative. Whether it’s executive headshots, lifestyle portraits, or a creative campaign, you’ll get thoughtful, polished images without the awkwardness. We work across NYC and regularly travel to California, London, and anywhere else.

Let’s make something special!
