Meet David & Christine Pexton

We’re David and Christine, the husband‑and‑wife team behind Pextine Productions operating as David Pexton Photography. Based in Brooklyn and the tri‑state area, we photograph professionals across New York City and the United States, with regular trips to David’s hometown of London for on‑location headshots and corporate branding sessions.

Our clients include executives, lawyers, bankers, startup founders, tech companies, artists and creative teams. Whether you need headshots or a full‑scale rebranding shoot, our sessions are relaxed, collaborative and fun. We always aim for strong, natural images—never stiff posing or generic backdrops—and we travel with a full crew: hair and makeup artist, digital tech, lighting specialist, prop stylist, and an assistant to deliver a premium experience.

David is the photographer, bringing years of technical direction and a passion for experimenting with light, gear and imagery. Christine directs each session; with an MFA in screenwriting and decades as an actor and writer, she brings calm, humor and a sharp eye for storytelling. Together we blend precision and creativity to make portraits that feel human and alive.

Trusted by executives and creative teams alike, David and Christine are consistently praised for their professionalism, relaxed approach, and stunning results. Clients call David “the go‑to headshot photographer for the modern CEO,” appreciate how he “made our team feel comfortable and confident,” and commend his ability to capture “natural, approachable portraits.”

Working with David & Christine was an absolute pleasure! The  process was efficient and I am incredibly happy with the results. Turnaround was very quick with so many great options, it was hard to choose. David captured a variety of moods and styles that brought out different aspects of my personality and professionalism. The photos turned out even better than I could have imagined and they truly elevated my business image. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who combines speed, skill, and an amazing eye for detail, I highly recommend.

My god, these are FANTASTIC!

I have no idea how to choose! Let me show my daughter and my partner and see what they think. I can’t believe how great these are, and I’m really camera shy in general.
