ACTOR PHOTO SESSIONS / NYC + NEW JERSEY

Your neighborhood.
Your space.
Your next look.

Chris comes to you with a compact photo setup and a relaxed approach. Step outside for natural-light portraits, then head indoors for a clean, simple background.

Stay close to your wardrobe. Change comfortably. Try a few different looks without making a day of traveling to a studio.

ONE PERSON. A FEW DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

A session built
around you.

Choose the looks that suit your goals. Outdoor and indoor options depend on the location, weather and available space.

01 / OUTDOOR NATURAL LIGHT

A little city.
A lot of you.

We find a nearby spot with flattering light and a simple background. A softly blurred street or quiet wall adds a sense of place while keeping the attention on your face.

For natural, approachable headshots.

02 / SIMPLE INDOOR SETUP

A clean background.
A different look.

A portable gray backdrop and soft lighting create a focused portrait in a suitable room. With your wardrobe nearby, changing a shirt or trying another look is easy.

For clean, versatile casting portraits.

03 / OPTIONAL CREATIVE BACKGROUNDS

One more option.
When it fits.

Optional green-screen photography and background replacement can give selected portraits another setting or mood. We agree on the direction and review the result together.

For websites and promotional portraits.

CHRIS COMES TO YOU

Less running around.
More room to be yourself.

A familiar place can make the session feel easier. Keep your outfit options close, take a moment between looks and work directly with Chris from planning through image selection.

  • Send a quick photo of your space before booking.
  • We plan a nearby outdoor spot and a suitable indoor setup.
  • Bring the outfits and looks you want to explore.
  • Review your selections and agree on the final finish.

A home or another agreed location needs enough clear space for the backdrop, lighting and camera. Access, weather and any location costs are discussed ahead of time.

THE FINISH

Still you.
On your best day.

Natural retouching starts with real photographs of you. We refine exposure, color and background distractions for a clean, natural finish. Light AI-assisted adjustments are optional and agreed in advance.

Your features, skin texture and expression stay yours. Casting headshots should reflect how you look today; more creative backgrounds are an optional direction for your website or promotional images.

A STRAIGHTFORWARD QUOTE

Tell me the plan.
I'll work out the details.

A practical photo session, with your goals and budget in mind.

Tell Chris where you're based, the photos you need and whether you prefer outdoor, indoor or a mix of looks. Photo sessions can be discussed on their own or alongside a reel or website project.

Your quote reflects session time, location and travel, outfit changes, the number of finished images and any optional background work. Travel, tolls and parking are accounted for in the quote, with the scope agreed before booking.
