NYC Lifestyle Photography

Lifestyle photography is all about telling a story — capturing people in real moments, real environments, and with natural energy. It can include branding imagery, modeling and portfolio shots, fitness photography, creative portraits, couples sessions, and other personal lifestyle portraits. In this section, you’ll also find a selection of non-headshot portraits that focus more on mood and personality.

For actors, lifestyle photos can help build a well-rounded portfolio and provide content for websites and social media. Comp cards are less common today, but having a variety of lifestyle images is still valuable for commercial and personal branding.

While headshots are focused and minimal — centered on expression and the eyes — lifestyle portraits allow wardrobe, environment, props, and mood to play a larger role. These images are more expansive and expressive, and they open the door to creative storytelling.

Some lifestyle portraits happen naturally during another session, and others are planned in advance. If you’re interested in lifestyle images, we’ll talk through ideas, locations, and anything you’d like to incorporate so we can plan the session properly. We can also combine lifestyle portraits with headshots or other session types if that suits your goals.

If you're looking to create images that feel authentic, expressive, and true to your personality or brand, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help you plan something that fits your vision.
