Whether you're a CEO, speaker, or building your personal brand - I'll help you create headshots that actually work for you.
"It is impossible to leave without a shot you love!
You can tell a pro by the way they are so familiar with their craft that they are relaxed and focused on YOU. Matthew is exactly that."
Your headshot is often how people get to know you before they actually meet you. Whether someone's checking out your LinkedIn, reading your bio before a conference, or considering working with you, that photo matters. I help professionals in Philadelphia create images that actually look like them on their best day - no fake smiles or overly polished nonsense.
The goal is simple: photos that show who you really are when you're confident and ready to tackle whatever comes next. Because when people meet you after seeing your headshot, they should think "yep, that's exactly what I expected" - not wonder if they've got the right person.
If you're in a leadership role, you know your image shows up everywhere - company websites, press releases, conference materials, social media. You need photos that work just as hard as you do. I create executive portraits that look like the real you while showing the competence and relatability that actually matters in business.
I'll have you bring multiple outfit options so you're covered for any situation that comes up. Clean, professional backgrounds keep the focus on you, and my retouching approach means you'll still look like yourself - just on your best day.
Let's be real - your LinkedIn photo is probably the most viewed professional image you'll ever have. It needs to look great whether someone's viewing it on their phone or pulling it up full-screen for a presentation. I make sure your headshot works perfectly everywhere it appears, from tiny profile pics to full-resolution downloads.
You'll get different crops and formats so you're covered for any platform, high-res files for print and web-optimized versions for online use. Plus, I'll help you figure out which shots work best for your specific goals and make sure everything looks consistent across all your professional profiles.
Let's answer what you're probably wondering about
Most of my clients initially feel uncomfortable in front of the camera - you're definitely not alone. I use a large monitor to preview the images with my clients throughout the shoot so you can see how everything looks as we go. This helps build confidence throughout the session, and by the end, most clients are genuinely surprised by how much they enjoy the process.
Every industry has its own rules about how people should present themselves. A tech startup founder needs to look approachable and innovative, while a financial advisor needs to convey trust and stability. We'll talk through your goals for the images and how you want to be portrayed before we start shooting.
Yes! Professional headshots are perfect for speaker bureaus, conference materials, book covers, personal websites, and media kits. I provide multiple crops and formats for different professional uses.
Most people I photograph think they're "not photogenic," going into the shoot. My goal is to convince them that they are photogenic by the end of the shoot. They usually think they aren't good in front of the camera because they haven't had good photos taken of them. It's my job to figure out what works for you and get you looking your best. I'll guide you through everything - from how to position yourself to what expression feels most natural for you. The goal is to make the whole process as straightforward as possible so you can relax and we can get great shots.
