Lowenstein Sandler · Connell Foley · Crummiller · CA Goldberg · The Perecman Group · Ford Marrin · Jill Taylor Consulting · Baldassare & Mara • Silver & Ketchmacher · Shaub Ahmuty Citrin & Spratt · Olender FeldmanIt's not just headshots. It's a UNDERUSED part of your marketing.
The problemMost companies treat headshots like a box to check, and most photographers treat them the same way. For a lot of photographers, headshots are an add-on to their real business of weddings and bar mitzvahs, so the process is transactional and the results end up as a record of what someone looks like instead of a reason to hire them.
Your team's photos show up everywhere your clients decide whether to trust you: your website, LinkedIn, proposals, pitch decks, speaker bios, and press. Every one of those touch points is marketing, and your headshots are either helping you win, or quietly working against you. My job is to make sure they help, by making every person look likable, approachable, and confident, and making the whole set look like it came from one firm.
Why meA creative director with a camera.
After more than 20 years working as an advertising writer and creative director, creating award-winning TV commercials for some of the world’s biggest brands at some of the biggest agencies, I returned to a lifelong passion: photography.
I opened my studio in 2016 and have since photographed thousands of executives, entrepreneurs, TV personalities, professional athletes, influencers and creative teams, while helping companies and brands bring their stories to life through photography that builds authority, trust and presence.
Today, I bring both sides of that experience to every shoot: the eye of a photographer and the thinking of a creative director. I understand the bigger picture, what the brand is trying to say, who it needs to reach and what the images ultimately need to do.
Whether it’s one executive portrait, a company-wide headshot program or a complete library of photography for a new website or campaign, I approach it the same way: understand the idea, bring out the best in the people in front of my camera, and create images with a purpose.
IT’S NOT JUST A HEADSHOT. IT’S YOUR BRAND.
Who this is forTeams whose credibility is the product
If your clients are choosing you based on whether they trust you, your headshots are doing more work than you think.
WHEREVER YOUR TEAM IS, I'LL MAKE IT EASY
OPTIONS1
In my studio
Send people to my Maplewood, NJ studio in a block or one at a time on their own schedule. It works well for smaller teams and new hires, and every image matches the set you already have.
2
At Your Office
I bring the full studio to you, set up in a conference room, and photograph your team in quick [10 to 15] minute slots, so nobody is away from their desk for long.
3
Across Every Office
For firms with multiple locations, I shoot every office with the same lighting, background, and retouching, so a partner in DC matches an associate in New Jersey. You get one program, one flat rate, and one consistent look.
Everything is completely turnkey
The process1
Discovery call
We talk through your team size, locations, timing, and where the images will be used, so I can build a plan and a flat quote that fits.
2
Planning & Prep
I handle the scheduling, reminders, and wardrobe guidance, so your team knows exactly when to show up and what to wear, and you don't have to chase anyone.
3
Picture Day
I keep things moving and keep people relaxed. Most people walk in dreading it and walk out asking when they can see their photos.
4
Proofing & Delivery
You'll usually get a proofing gallery the next day. Once everyone picks their favorites, I retouch and color correct each image and deliver files ready for both print and web.
my approach is more psychology than photography
The processMost people hate having their picture taken, and it shows. So I direct, misdirect, and when necessary unload a parade of bad dad jokes to get people out of their heads and into a place where they're actually enjoying themselves. That's when you get the expression that looks likable, approachable, and confident all at once, and that's the one that makes it into your gallery.
Consistent. Confident
The work
ACI: 40 YEARS OF TRUST, FINALLY ON CAMERA
case studyACI is the regulatory accounting partner for broker-dealers across the country, and their entire brand is built on precision, experience, and people who stick around for decades. When they relaunched their website, they needed their team to look like that, so I photographed [X people] at their [New York] office, from leadership portraits and team headshots to the everyday moments that show what it's actually like to work there. Those images now carry their homepage, team page, and careers page, and every one of them looks like it came from the same firm.
FAQEverything you're about to ask
-
On-site corporate headshot sessions with Lee Seidenberg Photography usually start at $2,500 for a quarter day. Because every company and situation is different, I prefer to create a custom proposal. I'm available anywhere in New Jersey or New York City, pre-production and scheduling, a custom booking page for your team, an online proofing gallery, one retouched final image per person, and unlimited usage rights. Larger firms, multiple offices, and annual refresh programs get a custom proposal.
-
I come to you. I build a full studio — lighting, backdrop, tethered laptop — in your conference room, lobby, or an empty office, and break it down the same day. On-site is included for anywhere in New Jersey and New York City. I also shoot in my Maplewood, New Jersey studio when it's a handful of executives or a makeup session for people who missed shoot day.
-
Five to ten minutes per person. A team of 40 fits comfortably in a half day, and a team of 70 fits in a half day when we run a tight schedule. Each person still gets real direction — posing, hands, chin, shoulders, and expression coaching — because five minutes with a director beats twenty minutes of someone telling you to say cheese.
-
One lighting setup, one background, one photographer, one retouching standard, in one visit. That's the whole answer, and it's why bio pages break: they get built one hire at a time over six years by four different photographers. When new people join, I match the original setup exactly so the person hired in year three looks like they belong to the same firm as the founding partner.
-
Solid mid-tone or dark colors, a jacket or blazer if that's how your clients see you, minimal pattern, and nothing brand new. I send every person a prep guide before shoot day with specifics for their situation, so nobody arrives guessing. Two other things that matter more than people expect: get a haircut a week out, not the day before, and bring a second top for a different look.
-
You do, with unlimited usage rights. Use them on your website, LinkedIn, press releases, email signatures, conference materials, recruiting decks, pitch decks — no licensing terms, no per-use fees, no expiration. Files are delivered sized and cropped for each of those uses, because a LinkedIn square and a website bio banner are not the same crop.
-
Everywhere in the state. My studio is in Maplewood, and on-site corporate work regularly takes me to Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, Morristown, Madison, Summit, Short Hills, Roseland, Florham Park, Woodbridge, Clark, Colonia, Edison, Princeton, Red Bank, and Toms River. Essex and Union County are my backyard. Travel and setup are included statewide.
-
Yes. Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the outer boroughs are included at no additional travel cost — I spent 20+ years in New York advertising and still shoot there constantly. My Talkspace campaign with Michael Phelps ran city-wide across the subway system.
-
Yes. I've photographed executives and teams across the country, and for multi-office companies I'll build a schedule that covers every location with the same lighting and same look so your bio page reads as one company. Travel outside New Jersey and New York City is quoted at cost in your proposal.
-
Law firms are the largest part of my corporate practice — Lowenstein Sandler and Ford Marrin among them. Firms have a specific problem: partners, associates, and staff all need to project authority without looking interchangeable, and the bio page is often the first thing a prospective client sees. I shoot the whole roster in one visit, match new associates to the existing look as they're hired, and work around court schedules.
