Actor headshots NYC. An often intimidating notion, and Lev goes above and beyond to make this a mirage. You’ll be amazed how he can turn seemingly mundane spots into cinematic portraitures. Most photographers have their go to spots. Lev wants every shot to be unique to you as an actor!

GORNPHOTO is a great company when you need Photos for headshots and acting and just a very professional company all around. I was looking for a photographer for my son’s headshots since he’s interested in commercials and acting and I searched around and nobody except for Mr. Gorn responded to me. He called me and I mentioned what we were looking for and he sent me his website link again and his accomplishments and I went over this with my son and his mom and we decided to use Mr. Gorn. It was a great experience and my son rarely smiles and Lev and Julianna brought out the best in him. They Made him feel at ease and comfortable and just a fun experience and my son had a lot of fun and he still tells me today, he enjoyed the whole experience. I can tell Mr. Gorn is a dedicated and diligent and hard working actor and photographer and his experience shows though his work. To give an example Lev and Julianna travelled to our community and did the photo shot for my son and again they brought out the best in him and made him feel at ease. I always say, you pay for what you get and I have no complaints but praise and thanks. The final photos have clarity and the amount of light shines through them and they show a great side of my son for the upcoming casting events. You definitely inspired my son from your advice. Again I will alwaysrecommend your photography company to everyone and you can add one of his photos to your website which that is fine with us. Again from me and Carol and William, we all had fun and thanks to Julianna and you Lev.

Lev made me feel comfortable from our first conversation. He came highly recommended by someone I respect greatly. Lev was easy going, professional and kind. Also of course a wonderful artist that worked with me to try to get the most ideal shots. He understands not only from a photographer viewpoint, but also from an actors perspective. He was generous with advice too which was appreciated! His makeup artist was also very good and professional.

I had a brand photo shoot with Lev for my new company and I can't even describe to you what an amazing experience it was!! I felt like a movie star, and with the photos he created, I look like one too! He took time to understand my brand identity and chose location, wardrobe and lighting that would truly represent me my company. I HIGHLY recommend GORNPHOTO to anyone who is looking to up their game and standout amongst all the people in their industries and fields. I used the photos on my website, for marketing material, social media platforms, email signature- pretty much every platform and document that requires a photo. The pics came out so good that I've had website inquiries (on my company website) about where I got my photos done and if I don't mind sharing the info.

I would unquestionably go back to Lev Gorn when I need updated headshots. His easy manner and expertise enabled me to be at my best during the session, and even though I usually hate myself in photographs, I was very pleased with my headshots and delighted to submit them to jobs. I've been getting work and attention, and having great headshots has boosted my confidence tremendously. Thank you, Lev.

Lev is absolutely fantastic! I’m a professor that needed professional headshots to use online. So I searched the internet for photographers and found so many in midtown it was overwhelming. When I saw Lev’s samples online, his talent was immediately clear. You could just see there was a natural inviting nature to the photos he took. Perfect for a website or online profile where a professional headshot is needed to draw people in. After having gotten my headshots, I was blown away. The shots he got are more than I ever could have imagined. Truly an artist. He just knows how to capture your personality and can achieve a variety of different looks depending on the context of what you’re going for. I would absolutely without a doubt go back again and recommend to anyone looking for professional headshots. You simply can’t go wrong. Lev is the best!

I was very pleased with my professional headshots from GornPhoto. I don’t love the process of getting my photo taken because I blink a lot, but I told Lev this at the start and he made sure to put me at ease, make me laugh, and actually produced some great photos with my eyes open! I also had some scheduling difficulties and Lev was very patient and made sure to stick with me so we could get the photos done. I appreciated his professionalism and ease of communication throughout.

My law firm hired Lev to take our headshots. I was told ahead of time by a coworker that Lev is great and it is true! He made the process easy and comfortable and I was happy with the pictures. Lev is very professional and clearly knows what he is doing. He gave me clear instructions on making small adjustments, and I ended up with a lot of good options. It was hard to choose a favorite! Given the few times I’ve had to get headshots taken, this has definitely been the best experience I have had.

Gornphoto has been my 'go-to' for headshots for over 10 years now.

I found Lev through a post on LinkedIn by a former colleague, and I loved the quality I saw. However, since my colleague is in Atlanta, I did not realize he was working out of NYC. So... even though his home base is NYC and I am based in Atlanta, I concluded that I liked his work more than others I had seen locally... I decided I would go to NYC to get my professional photos. I'm pleased with the results and recommend to anyone looking for quality photography with a great photographer that is easy to work with to contact Lev.

Simply put, Lev Gorn is a rockstar. Having been an actor for years, these are the best headshots I’ve ever gotten. Himself a working actor, Lev has a unique eye when it comes to what Casting & producers need. Kind, instinctive, with a detailed “prep”… our session went smoothly. Honestly, I went into this photo shoot with a “pandemic brain”, and left excited for what the future holds. I study my craft & network with CDs, but Lev Gorn‘s photos will open many more doors. It’s very exciting! Run to him people. Lev is the BEST headshot photographer in New York City!

Would absolutely recommend working with Lev if you’re looking for a headshot photographer in NYC! Look no further. Lev was extremely professional from planning the shoot all the way through to the end. We were required to have our shots taken outside and Lev was extremely accommodating in rescheduling due to weather and schedule challenges. During the shoot he was super engaging and made sure my awkwardness in front of the camera didn’t come through at all. Schedule your shoot with him ASAP!

Totally easy and stress free shoot, and I can’t wait to start getting more auditions from my shots!

Fitness Headshots NYC FAQ

First and foremost, you want to make sure that your headshot conveys the desired message. For fitness trainers, this typically means looking professional, confident, and personable. Your clothing should be comfortable yet appropriate – avoid over-the-top gym clothes or overly-casual attire. Additionally, you want to be sure that the background of the photo does not take away from your face. A simple wall or other plain backdrop can provide a great setting for a professional headshot.

It is also important to make sure your headshot reflects your personality in some way – after all, you are in the business of helping people achieve their fitness goals. Therefore, a smile and confident posture can be great ways to show off your friendly demeanor. If you are shooting outdoors, you may want to consider incorporating the natural environment into your photo – this provides a sense of authenticity that prospective clients will appreciate. With these factors in mind, you will be sure to have an impressive headshot that properly captures who you are as a fitness trainer.

Another factor to consider when taking a headshot for fitness trainers is the lighting. You want the lighting to be natural and consistent – avoid too strong of a light or one that creates unflattering shadows on your face and body. If possible, take your headshots during the golden hour when there is a warm, soft light that helps you look your best. Additionally, you may want to try experimenting with different angles and poses to get a variety of looks for your headshots – this can give potential clients a better sense of who you are as a person and what kind of services they can expect from you. Don’t be afraid to move around and try different poses – this will help you find the best headshot for your business.

Fitness headshots can be surprisingly affordable. Depending on the quality and length of your shoot, you can expect to pay between $500-$5,000 for a single session. Professional photographers typically charge an hourly rate that ranges from $250-$1,000 per hour, plus any additional editing fees they may require. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, there are numerous headshot photography packages available for purchase online. These packages generally include the photographer’s time and basic editing services such as color correction or minor retouching. If you’re on a tight budget, look into discounted deals or promotions offered by local photographers and studios.

When selecting a fitness headshot photographer, it’s important to make sure that they have the experience and expertise necessary to capture your style. Consider looking at their portfolio of work or asking for references before making a decision. You should also inquire about the quality of their equipment and how long they’ve been shooting headshots. Finally, be sure to discuss any additional costs that may be associated with your shoot, such as travel expenses or the cost of renting a studio space. With the right photographer, you can get stunning fitness headshots for an affordable price.

If you are looking to get professional-quality fitness headshots, it is important to find the right photographer. Look for a photographer with experience in portraiture, as well as an understanding of how to capture the best angles for your unique body type and build. An experienced sports and fitness photographer will be able to direct you during your session in order to capture strong and striking images.

When selecting a photographer, look at their portfolio of work to ensure they have experience shooting fitness headshots. Any good fitness photographer should be able to provide you with examples of previous clients’ photos. You can also ask around in your community—many experienced photographers offer recommendations from other fitness professionals in the area. Alternatively, you can search online for fitness photographers in your area, or contact a local photography school to inquire about their students’ portfolios. Each photographer will have their own unique style and process, so take the time to review each portfolio before making your decision.

When taking fitness headshots, it’s important to find a pose that shows off your features and highlights your fitness level. Start by standing tall with good posture – shoulders back, chest up and stomach in. Make sure you appear confident in the shot. From there, experiment with angles. Try standing at different angles relative to the camera, pointing your body in different directions. This will help you find the most flattering and dynamic poses for your headshot.

You can also play around with your facial expressions. While a determined look may be appropriate for certain types of shots, don’t be afraid to show some emotion or even smile. You want to make sure your headshot looks natural and shows your personality. Lastly, it’s important to pay attention to details such as shadows and lighting. Make sure the background is simple and non-distracting, unless you’ve decided to your shoot at a gym or an interesting outdoor location. Once you have a pose and background selected, adjust your lighting if necessary to give the photo depth and definition. With a few simple posing tips, you can take great fitness headshots!
