Really great experience getting headshots. I felt 100% comfortable and got so many great shots to choose from. Brad did an amazing job with the lighting and the results far exceeded my expectations. I think the best part of this experience is that I wound up with headshots that feel more real and reflect who I feel I am… more so than the kind of headshots one might typically expect. Highly recommended.
— Peter Noah, Product Designer, NYC

I could not have had a better experience with Natural Studio! I needed headshots for upcoming press, and Brad went above and beyond to ensure that I came away with what I needed. The shoot day was a pleasure — and Brad’s photography expertise was evident with every shot. Speedy delivery of the proofs the next morning was also much appreciated. All in all, I am thrilled with my headshots and look forward to working with Natural Studio again as soon as possible!
— Katherine Neukomm, Attorney, New York

A perfect experience from start to finish. Brad is thoughtful, friendly and organized, and I was able to get a good mix of professional and creative shots in one session.
— Wally Hasselbring, Creative Director, NYC

Brad is such a pro! I needed a new headshot and rarely like professional photos of myself but he helped me prepare for and then took a ton of great options! Great communication before and after the shoot, and I ended up with photos I’m so happy with.
— Chao Wang, Co-founder and CEO, Dopple

I did a photoshoot with Brad, and after over 20 years in the industry and working as a model, I can tell you he is amazing. He understands your face and creates the best light.
— Charlotte Bonstrom-Assaf, Model, NYC

Loved working with Brad on my headshots! The photographs turned out incredibly well. He was super friendly while we worked together, and he made me very comfortable being in front of the camera (something I’m definitely not used to!). He gave great suggestions of various poses and outfit changes for each look I had, which I was very grateful for. I would highly recommend going to work with Brad on your headshots! 10/10 would work with him again.
— Maranda Janky, Content Director — Financial Times, New York

Brad did an incredible job. He is very skilled and professional as a photographer. He encourages you to be yourself on camera which allows him to capture the most authentic version of yourself in every image. If you’re looking for real images that show the best and most sincere version of yourself, then look no further than Natural Studio with Brad.
— Lewis Wright, Actor, New York City

Really great experience at Natural Studio for my professional headshots. Brad was great to work with and the pictures came out really nice! Highly recommend.
— Faben Ayele, Luxury Partnerships at Google, New York City

It was a pleasure to work with Natural Studio! They were really patient and thorough, allowing me to try out several combinations of outfits, accessories, and locations during our outdoor shoot. The turnaround in terms of getting the images back for selection and getting the final, edited images was really quick, allowing me to start using them immediately. What’s more, the photos feel natural and really captured my personality.
— Annie N., Research Analyst

I had a great experience with Brad. He listened to my ideas on what I wanted and didn’t want in a professional headshot photo, and I’m really happy with the photos he made!
— Felicia Greiff, Head of Brand & Communications, New York

Natural Studio was understanding, sensitive, and genuinely interested in finding out what I needed and how I wanted my photos to look. They are professional, responsible, and easy going as well as very passionate about photography. Their work stood out as being fresh and real instead of all the other plain identical works of other studios I had found before. After I began using the new photos, I definitely started getting more job offers as the pictures gave clients a better perspective of my personality. It was a wonderful experience and the pictures are great!
— Kristina Shakhpazian, Model & Actress

We worked with Brad on team photos and individual headshots and he was responsive, professional, friendly, and on time. We would happily work with him again and recommend him to anyone! Photos turned out great just as expected.
— Eleanor Mooney, Owner & Founder at deVivre Concierge Services

Brad at Natural Studio was fantastic and lovely to work with on my headshots. There were so many great photos I had trouble narrowing them down! He captured exactly what I had envisioned.
— Melanie Smith, Graphic Designer, Brooklyn, NY

It was a delight working with Brad! He responded to my inquiry within 24 hours and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. The onsite experience was speedy but thorough - he showed photos throughout the session to ensure I liked the direction we were going. As someone who doesn’t love being in front of a camera, Brad made me feel comfortable and was patient throughout the session. I highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for headshots or portraits - I will definitely book again should the need arise!
— Ally Martinelli, Business Operations Specialist, NYC

Great experience with Brad getting clean, professional-but-relaxed photos for my new website for my creative business!
— Emily Simpson, Brooklyn, New York

I had a great experience working with Brad. He instantly put me at ease, was flexible and responsive to all of my specifications, and offered a lot of valuable input in how to achieve the best results for my professional headshots. He partners with a highly talented hair and makeup artist, Meeza. I’m very pleased with my images, and would hire him again for my next project in a heartbeat.
— Elena Mancini, Psychotherapist, NYC

Brad is an amazing photographer. He very quickly captures the best shots and makes you feel comfortable. He also worked with my tight timeline and was quick to respond to emails. Would highly recommend to anyone needing professional headshots. Thank you Brad!
— Sunny Lee, Creative Director, NYC

Natural Studio’s down-to-earth demeanor and authentic approach to photography really stood out to me. I really like that they go for the “natural” look (hence the name of the studio). They were very communicative and responsive from the moment I contacted them and answered all my questions and concerns. I was overall very pleased with everything from start to finish. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quick the turnaround time. I highly recommend Natural Studio. During the shoot you will feel totally at ease and as if you’re having a casual conversation with a friend while getting some awesome shots. They are very communicative, talented, and timely with their work.
— Darden Livesay, Marketing Manager, New York

Couldn’t recommend Brad as a photographer enough. I went in being honest about not knowing my angles, about not being the most photogenic, and about needing instruction - and he responded to those needs and beyond. We had a super comfortable session, we got the photos done and had fun doing it, and I know I’ll be recommending Brad to friends and colleagues. The set of photos turned out great and his edits were fantastic. The year is off to a good start now, thanks Brad! :-)
— Jacqueline Johnson, NYC

Great headshots. The shoot was less than half an hour and Brad understood without needing a long explanation exactly what I was looking for. He was very good at providing specific instructions during the shoot that resulted in great photos. The whole experience was seamless and very professional. I’ve already recommended Natural Studio to multiple people.
— Meredith M., NYC

Brad at Natural Studio was super responsive and accommodating in my scheduling. The images look terrific and I was impressed with the quick turnaround. Thank you!
— Lyndsay Kelley, Account Director at Financial Times, NYC

Natural Studio creates a safe professional environment and provides amazing creative direction to their shoots. I chose to work with them because I love how their images are very natural and realistic. Their style of photography helped me with my brand by adding more natural feeling images to my portfolio of work— and this helped me add more range to my portfolio. The best thing about working with Natural Studio was how consistent they were with the whole process—both with shooting images of outstanding quality and also executing the turnaround on edits and final product. Overall, I very much enjoyed my experience and I will definitely be recommending Natural Studio to my clients and colleagues.
— Cameron Ramos, Stylist, New York

I highly recommend Brad! I’d never had professional photos taken and was nervous about the whole thing. Brad put me at ease from the beginning, and was responsive to and patient with my questions and requests over the course of a 1 hour session. I am very happy with the photos he took, which are both professional and relaxed-looking.
— Abigail F., Brooklyn

Brad was responsive and very communicative before, during, and after the shoot. He was a consummate professional and his brand of photography is natural and warm. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs portraits done.
— Clara Cho, NYC

When I was looking for a portrait and headshot photographer, Natural Studio stood out to me because of their solid portfolio and experience. When I viewed their website I saw a wide range of people photographed in different settings, not just actors or businesspeople. Their fast response time, straightforward pricing, and local connection made me feel at ease about choosing to work with them. When shooting, Brad helped me learn more about engaging with the camera and was very versatile in his approach to different types of photography situations. My new photos, used on business sites, social media, and speaking engagement publicity materials, have provided me with exactly what I was looking for to take the next steps in my career.
