A corporate headshot doesn't have to be stiff or forgettable-it can be powerful, confident, and absolutely stunning. At Dorothy Shi Photography, we create headshots that do more than check a box; they communicate your credibility, character, and readiness for opportunity. With light grooming, clear direction, flattering lighting, and tasteful retouching, Dorothy transforms ordinary images into portraits that help you stand out across LinkedIn, company bios, speaking engagements, and press.
Your headshot is your digital front door-the first impression you make in today's online world. Whether someone checks your LinkedIn profile, company About page, or conference bio, they're deciding in seconds whether you feel trustworthy, capable, and approachable. A quick smartphone photo might be easy, but it often looks flat, shadowy, or distorted. A professional corporate headshot in NYC communicates intention and polish. It signals that you take your work-and your reputation-seriously.
Dorothy brings an editorial eye to corporate portraiture. Her style is modern and cinematic, but grounded in real professionalism-clean lines, natural color, and expressions that feel like you (on your best day). Sessions are collaborative and relaxed. You'll get coaching on posture, angles, and micro-expressions so you never feel awkward or over-posed. Expect a mix of classic vertical crops for LinkedIn and wider compositions for websites and press.
Whether you need a single standout headshot or an entire NYC corporate headshot day for your team, we'll tailor the experience.
We define where your images will live-LinkedIn, website bios, press kits, speaker pages-and plan the look: classic studio, airy and bright, or a darker, editorial mood. If you have brand guidelines, we'll align backgrounds and tones.
You'll receive a short style guide with colors, necklines, and layering suggestions. Bring options: a jacket, two or three tops, and a subtle statement piece (watch, glasses, or simple jewelry). Keep patterns minimal; textures like wool, silk, or fine knits photograph beautifully.
Dorothy will coach your posture and expression: shoulders relaxed, chin level, eyes engaged. We'll work through micro-variations-approachable smiles, decisive intent, warm authority-so you have range for different uses.
We review images as we go, making quick adjustments to hair, collar, and angles. You'll know we've nailed it before we wrap.
Your selected images are retouched with a light touch: even skin, flyaway control, under-eye balance, lint removal, and color/contrast tuning. The result is crisp, professional, and natural.
Receive high-resolution and web-ready files, optimized for LinkedIn headshots, company directories, email signatures, and speaker submissions. Need exact specs for your intranet or media kit? We'll export to size.
Launching a rebrand? Hiring fast? We offer on-location corporate headshots in NYC with a consistent setup for every employee. We coordinate timing, wardrobe tips, and a simple selection process so your HR or marketing team isn t overwhelmed. Need background replacement to match brand colors? We can do that too- efficiently and at scale.
Individual sessions typically run 30-60 minutes. Team mini-sessions can be 10-15 minutes per person, depending on scope.
Most clients select 1-3 primary headshots plus a few alternates; teams often choose one standardized image per person. We include a set number of retouched finals and offer additional retouching as needed.
