Executive Photos NYC by Michael Benabib

Executive Photos NYC by Michael Benabib Corporate headshot photographer, Michael Benabib, has cultivated over 30+ years experience working w Every day and every job is different. I love it.

I still get butterflies in my stomach just before a shoot and then right after it is over, when looking back at what has been done it is a great feeling of having made something from thin air.

Why we dont just photograph executives on a white backdrop.

The brief was simple. Team
headshots, on clean white seamless, for the website and a press release in one conference room.
That is exactly what we delivered, but before we deliver the images, we turned the whole setup around and pointed it at the windows.

Same room, only now there is a enviorment behind the executives.

A white backdrop is timeless. It belongs in the directory and the formal bio. But context does something white cannot. It tells people where you work.

Two looks from one session!

Honest question for anyone who has done a team shoot: did you get one backdrop or two?

Before I pick up the camera, I like to talk and get to know your role in this operation.
Your industry, your message.

I want to understand what you need and how these photos will work for you.

As we move through the shoot I continue having that conversation while I’m directing constantly, hands here, move your shoulders, turn this way now the other way.
Constantly keeping your engaged and less in your head.

You leave with photos that look like you on a good day. No something overly posed

I’ve photographed IPO bell ringings, ribbon cuttings, and founding-team portraits for 30 years. Here’s what I’ve learned: the companies that document their milestones are building assets. That bell-ringing photo becomes the recruiting page. The investor deck. The anniversary post. The story new hires are told on day one.

Your success deserves proof.

If your company has a milestone coming up let’s talk about having an event photographer there to capture the moment.

Here’s what 30 years shooting Business heaadshots has taught me:

Capturing a great headshot requires genuine curiosity. Every session starts with a real conversation because I actually want to know who you are before I pick up the camera.

That’s what draws out the ease and the confidence that make a portrait unmistakably yours.

Nadine Augusta is the Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Cushman & Wakefield, one of the largest real estate firms in the world. She reached out needing images for a feature in Inclusion Magazine.

I didn’t know yet that she’d land the cover. We worked the light, the posture, the moment, until it clicked.

Nadine didn’t just make the magazine. She’s on the cover, with two more images from our session running inside.

Proud this one made it to print.

When’s the last time your photo actually matched the moment you’re in?

Some sessions stay with you.
Adam Spector has led Fiduciary Trust International for years, a firm that has quietly served some of America’s most prominent families for nearly a century.

When he reached out to book a session, I didn’t take that lightly.

He understood something that matters more than most people realize, that when a publication tells your story, the photograph carries as much weight as the words.

A great portrait isn’t just about looking good. It’s about feeling confident in front of the lens, and having someone behind it who knows how to translate that into something the world can see.

That’s what I showed up to do.

I just tried to make sure it was worthy of his story.

Grateful this one found its way into print.

Your nerves walk in the door. Your best photo walks out.
In 30 years behind the lens photographing executives and leaders, the pattern is always the same.

The clients who care most about getting it right almost always do.

At Executive Photos NYC, we don’t go straight to the camera. We start with a conversation about who you are, who needs to see you, and what you want your image to say.

Private changing room. On-site makeup station. 100+ images per session.

This is not a rush-in, rush-out headshot.

This is a premium creative session with Michael Benabib, designed for professionals who show up in rooms that matter.

Most professionals arrive with one outfit. They regret it halfway through.
The second look almost always wins because by the time we switch, you’ve warmed up, found your angles, and stopped thinking about the camera.
That’s when the real images happen.

Here’s the prep list we give every client before they walk into Executive Photos NYC:
→ A few solid-color looks. Must be pre-steamed.
→ Arrive photo-ready. You can handle final touch-ups at the studio.
→ Clean manicure. Your hands appear in some frames.
→ Comfortable shoes to travel to the studio, and higheels in your garment bag.
Comfort always photographs better than performance.

This is a premium session designed for leaders who need imagery that works as hard as they do.
