How remote headshots work for New York professionals

It's a real, directed photo session — just not in a studio. You pick the look and background, join a video session at your booked time, and a professional directs your session live: where to sit for the best light, how high to place the camera, how to hold your shoulders, when to relax your expression. You use the phone or laptop you already own and natural window light — no app, no gear, no rental. A few business days later you receive polished, web-ready finals. It works for one person (individual remote headshots) or an entire distributed company (remote team headshots).

What a New York studio costs vs. remote

New York is one of the most expensive headshot markets in the country. A standard professional session runs about $450–$900, with the city average near $924; executive and premium packages reach $1,050–$2,500. For most NYC professionals that also means a commute to Midtown and a blocked-off afternoon. Remote Headshots is a flat $180 per person — and from $100 per person for teams — with the same real photographer directing every frame. You trade the studio overhead and the travel, not the quality.

Who we photograph in New York

NYC is built on exactly the kind of work where a polished headshot earns its keep:

For leadership and client-facing roles, see executive headshots; for whole-team rollouts, corporate headshots for your team.

A real photo — not an AI headshot

A remote headshot is still a photograph of you — your real face, your real expression — captured by a person, not generated by a model. That matters: recruiters and clients increasingly distrust AI-generated headshots once they spot them. If you're weighing the two, here's why a real photo beats an AI headshot. Serving New York remotely — and every city we serve — from anywhere.

Common questions

New York headshots: FAQ

How much do professional headshots cost in New York?

NYC studios typically charge $450–$900 for a standard session (executive packages $1,050–$2,500). Remote Headshots is $180 per person, directed live by a real photographer — no NYC studio markup.

How does a remote headshot actually work?

You book a time, join a video session, and a professional photographer directs your lighting, camera height, posture, and expression live while capturing the shots. The editing team retouches and delivers web-ready finals in a few business days — using your own phone or laptop and natural light.

Is a remote headshot really as good as an in-person studio session?

Yes. A real photographer still controls the same things they would in a studio — framing, light, expression — just over video. You get an authentic photo of the real you, not a generated image, at a fraction of NYC studio pricing.

Do I need to travel to a Manhattan studio?

No. A professional directs you live from your NYC office or apartment. No commute, no half-day blocked off.

Can you do consistent headshots for our whole NYC team or multiple offices?

Yes — it's the strongest use case. Everyone gets the same framing, background standard, and retouching, whether they're in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or a fully remote office.

What if I don't have a good camera or lighting at home?

A modern phone is enough. The photographer positions you toward natural light and directs everything in real time; the editing team handles the rest.
