About
As a Broadway actor, I have a first hand understanding of how a great headshot is key. It is your first impression. Whether you're trying to get your next job or best represent yourself in your current job, today's world of online profiles requires a professional headshot if you hope to be seen as a professional.
My goal is to get that inspiring photo that is unmistakably you. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my clients excited about the way they can look in a photograph.

Hired on Thumbtack
Mat is highly professional and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very responsive with communication, provided very clear and detailed explanations about how he works and his pricing, and did a great job getting us comfortable during the session. His work product met or even exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend him without reservations for professional headshots.

Working with Matt was a blast, he is super professional and creates a comfortable environment while shooting which is exactly what you want for when you're posing for a headshot! The good vibes shine through in the final product, I received the best pictures of myself I've ever had.

I hired Matt to take an updated headshot for a new role I was starting and it was such a great experience! He made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot so it wasn't an "awkward smile" experience and the photo ended up looking very genuine. He also retouched the final which looked very professional on my LinkedIn and Bio and the turnaround was so fast! Only area of improvement is his dad jokes which were pretty hilariously bad. Thanks again Matt!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do offer discounts for students. Also, if you come with a friend or two or three to share studio time your price per individual will exponentially go down. This is similar to corporate group rates where the final price for each final retouched image is exponentially lower than a single person shoot.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually begin with a quick phone consultation where we talk about packages and what works best for the clients needs. Once the client has decided on the package that best fits their needs, we look at time and dates. The client then receives a seamless online pre-shoot experience where contracts and payments are quick and easy. I usually have a tailored pre-shoot consultation with the client to talk about hair, make-up and attire for the day of the shoot. Following the shoot the client will receive an easy to use online viewing platform to choose their images for retouch. Once the client has chosen the image(s) for retouch those retouched digital image(s) are delivered in both online and print format/size.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have lived in New York for 20 years working as a professional actor in the musical theater world, doing Broadway and Broadway touring productions. Both a love of photography and an understanding of the importance of a professional headshot lead to me to headshot photography.
