Client words

What booking us is actually like.

I have needed new headshots for three years and kept putting it off because I hate being photographed. Had usable images within the hour and the retouched set two days later.

Placeholder Client

Headshots, Midtown

They covered a 200-person launch and had a preview gallery in our inbox the next morning, which is the only reason we made our press deadline.

Placeholder Client

Product launch, Brooklyn

Booked a graduation session two weeks before commencement and they still made it work around our family schedule. The campus shots are the ones my parents framed.

Placeholder Client

Graduation, Columbia

The studio

Two photographers, one studio in Manhattan.

Based in Brooklyn, shooting across all five boroughs.

Mahin

Founder, portraits and headshots

Fifteen years behind a camera in New York, most of it spent making people who hate being photographed forget the camera is there. Studio-trained, available anywhere in the five boroughs.

Shoots Portraits, Headshots

Faizan

Events and brand work

Comes from editorial and documentary work, which means event coverage that looks like a story rather than a slideshow. Handles brand shoots from the shot list through to delivery.
