Notes, recent work, and ideas from Natural Studio, a Brooklyn-based photography studio creating natural, contemporary portraits and headshots for professionals, creatives, and businesses throughout New York City.

NYC Headshots That Go Beyond The Norm

We often hear from clients that they came to Natural Studio because they were looking for something different from the traditional professional headshot.

They wanted photographs that felt fresh, natural, and real—professional enough for work, but with more personality and less of the overly posed or conventional corporate feeling they were seeing elsewhere.

That's very much how we think about headshot photography.

At Natural Studio, we approach a headshot as a portrait. We pay attention to beautiful light, composition, expression, and the individual person in front of the camera. Rather than relying on a formula, we work collaboratively throughout the shoot to create photographs that feel relaxed, contemporary, and specific to you.

The result can still function perfectly as a professional headshot, but it doesn't necessarily have to look like a traditional one.

For some clients, that means a simple studio portrait with beautiful light and a natural expression. For others, it might mean a wider composition, a different background, an outdoor setting, or an environmental portrait that shows a little more personality and context.

We photograph actors, artists, entrepreneurs, executives, designers, creatives, and professionals across a broad range of industries. Our images are used for:

  • LinkedIn and professional profiles

  • Company websites and biographies

  • Personal branding

  • Acting headshots

  • Press and publicity

  • Social media

  • Corporate and executive portraits

  • Real estate

  • Model and creative portfolios

Our private studio is located in Brooklyn near Park Slope and Gowanus, and we also photograph people on location throughout New York City.

If you're looking for an NYC headshot that feels a little less conventional—and a little more like you—we'd love to hear from you.

Cheers,
NS
