Paladin - Executive Headshots & Brand Photography in NYC & Los Angeles

I’ve photographed Paladin’s team across New York City and Los Angeles over the years, building a collection of portraits that match the way they work. Instead of traditional studio-style corporate headshots, they wanted environmental portraits that feel open, modern, and approachable. It suits them. They’re a management consultancy that helps middle-market companies navigate big transitions, and the images needed to reflect that balance of confidence and clarity.

Most sessions take place either in their office or out in the surrounding neighborhoods, making use of natural light, clean backgrounds, and a bit of movement. It gives the portraits a sense of place without distracting from the people. The result is a set of business headshots and corporate lifestyle images they use across their website, proposals, and internal communications.

For teams in NYC or LA looking for portraits that feel professional but not overly formal, this approach works well. It keeps people relaxed, brings out genuine expression, and gives companies images they can use across a wide range of materials.
