Corporate lifestyle and branding photography in NYC.

Founders, teams and restaurants, photographed where the work happens: offices, homes, kitchens, rooftops and the streets in between. We plan each day around where the pictures will be used, and Christine and David are both on set.

Three kinds of shoot

Founders & personal brands

A full day built around you: portraits, you at work, and the parts of the city that suit your story. Good for a launch, a new website or a speaking profile.

Teams & offices

Headshots for everyone, then your team at work: meetings, desks and the moments in between, so your website and decks show the people behind them.

A day around Midtown

Started at home with his dog, then at work, and finished in the Times Square crowd and on a subway platform. Every location was planned on the call beforehand.

The process

How a day runs

I. The call

Agree the shot list

A call to agree who we're photographing, where, and where the pictures will be used. We scout locations when the day needs it.

II. The day

Portraits, people, places

Portraits first while everyone's fresh, then people at work and the details that make the place yours. Christine and David are both on set, so the day keeps moving.

III. The pick

Your gallery, then finals

Your private gallery arrives within a couple of days. Pick your favorites, and retouched finals follow within 5 to 7 days.

Lifestyle and branding FAQ

How much does branding photography cost in NYC?

Personal Branding, for individuals, is $1,475 for a full day with 20 retouched images. Shoots for teams and companies are quoted per project, based on headcount, locations and how the images will be used, and you get one clear quote before anything is booked.

Does the $1,475 cover a team or company shoot?

No. Personal Branding is for individuals. Team, office and company shoots are planned and quoted separately, because the size of the day depends on how many people, how many locations and where the images will run.

What's the difference between corporate lifestyle and personal branding photography?

Personal branding is about one person: you, your work and the places you do it. Corporate lifestyle covers a team or a company, with headshots alongside pictures of people working together in your space.

Where do you shoot?

Wherever suits the brief: your office, home, restaurant or the streets around them. We also work from Redline Studios at 181 Broadway in the Financial District, and we travel for company shoots.

How many images do we get?

Personal Branding includes 20 retouched images chosen from your full gallery. For company shoots we agree the number with you before the day.

Will a shoot disrupt our office?

We work around your schedule. Headshots run from one corner on a timetable, and candids happen while people get on with their day.

Where can we use the photos?

Your fee covers your website, social media, presentations and press. Paid advertising is licensed separately, and we're happy to talk it through.

How soon will we see the photos?

Your private gallery arrives within a couple of days. Once you've picked your favorites, retouched finals follow within 5 to 7 days.
