Bring a few looks, in solid colors.

Not two options you're deciding between — two complete, intentional outfits. Here's why: about halfway through your New York corporate headshot session, after you've warmed up and stopped thinking about the camera, we switch looks. The energy shifts. I've learned how you move. And that second look almost always produces something unexpected and better. Deep jewel tones, navy, slate, burgundy, forest green — anything structured with a little weight. Pre-steam everything before you arrive. Wrinkles that disappear in a mirror live forever on camera.

What to Bring to Your Headshot Session with Michael — And What Most People Get Wrong

May 5, 2026

One detail almost nobody thinks about.

Arrive with a clean manicure. Your hands will be in some of the frames. It doesn't need to be elaborate — neutral, classic, or bare is perfect. And on the heels question — I've seen it go both ways. Heels change your posture before the camera clicks. There's a lift in the shoulders and chin that reads as confidence. But discomfort reads too. Wear heels if they're yours to own. Wear flats if that's where your ease lives. A relaxed person in flats photographs better than an uncomfortable person in heels every single time — and after thousands of corporate headshots in Midtown NYC, I've learned that confidence isn't a shoe. It's a decision.

Addition Support.

If you want extra support, wardrobe styling and professional makeup services are available at our Midtown Manhattan studio — but they need to be booked in advance. For executives, attorneys, and founders preparing for a rebrand, a book launch, a major press moment, or a firm-wide headshot day, these aren't extras. They're the difference between a good photo and the one you actually use. When clients search for a professional photographer near them in NYC and land here, this is what sets the experience apart — not just the images, but everything that goes into making them.

Two looks, clean nails, and an open mind. That's all you need. Executive Photos NYC is located at 275 Fifth Avenue, Midtown Manhattan.
