THE FIRST IMPRESSION YOU DON'T CONTROL
Your LinkedIn Photo is Making DecisionsWithout You in the Room.
Before a recruiter opens your résumé. Before a client reads your bio. Before a prospective partner clicks "Connect" — they look at your photo. LinkedIn profiles with a professional headshot get significantly more profile views and connection requests than those without one, and on a platform built for first impressions, a phone-camera selfie or a five-year-old crop from a wedding photo is doing quiet damage to how seriously you're taken.
Most professionals don't lack the résumé. They lack the photo that makes people want to read it.
That's the gap a proper LinkedIn headshot closes — not vanity, positioning. A portrait that signals competence, approachability, and credibility before you've said a word.

Client Voices
Michael instantly put me at ease, and I could tell his wealth of experience immediately. This was the best experience I've ever had with a photo shoot!"

From the moment we started, he made everything just right — checking on my hair, my wardrobe, every detail. The session never felt like a photoshoot, it felt like a hangout."

Your Photographer
Michael Benabib
Before he photographed the boardroom, he photographed the celebrities of the era — David Bowie, Tupac Shakur, Keith Richards, President Bill Clinton — editorials that ran in Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, GQ, and The New York Times, and now hang in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian and MoMA. His 2026 solo exhibition in Tokyo — a retrospective of musician portraits and celebrity magazine work spanning three decades — brought that legacy into full view.
That training of connecting with his subjects, finding the authentic moment, working without disruption — turned out to be exactly what corporate portraiture demands. Michael made a natural progression into shooting corporate and branding work.
Over 30 years later, he has photographed heads of state, Fortune 500 CEOs, federal attorneys, and physicians — in studio and on-location, lending a sensitive eye to the craft. The result is never a headshot. It's a portrait that tells the truth.
