David Pexton Photography is a portrait and headshot studio based in Brooklyn, part of Pextine Productions, serving NYC and beyond.
David & Christine
We’re David and Christine, and we don’t just take photos—we create connections. Our goal is to make every photoshoot feel calm, collaborative, and actually fun.
Who We Are & Where We’re Based
Brooklyn-based professionals with decades of experience, we specialize in headshots, portraits, and brand imagery for teams, leaders, and creative professionals in New York City and beyond. Trusted by startups, agencies, and individuals nationwide, we deliver honest, expressive images that feel human and alive.
What Makes Us Different
Our sessions unfold naturally—not like rehearsed commercials or AI-generated portraits. Christine’s background in acting and screenwriting brings storytelling instincts to every shoot; David’s passion for light and composition ensures technical excellence. Together, we make creating portraits feel effortless—and clients often say it’s the most enjoyable part of their job.
Experience & Credentials
Our work has served brands like Bank of America, Paladin, Ember Infrastructure, and EX‑CO. We’ve shot campaigns in NYC, California, and London; exhibited at The Other Art Fair by Saatchi Art; and photographed for influential publications like The New Yorker. Every project reinforces our ability to deliver clarity, confidence, and creativity.
Our Story & Dynamic
We’re partners in work and life—David behind the lens, Christine guiding the shoot. When clients tell us they hate their photo taken, that’s when Christine shines: cracking the right joke, offering direction, making it feel like conversation, not production. Meanwhile, David’s eye is constantly experimenting with lighting, gear, and personality to bring authenticity to every frame.
