Joe Jenkins | Actor Headshots & Portraits for NYC

Technical precision for the professional stage and screen.

Actor headshots are your calling card in the entertainment industry. A polished, professional portrait makes the difference between blending in and landing auditions. In my NYC studio, I create headshots that highlight your range, authenticity, and unique presence—tailored for theater, film, television, and commercial submissions.

Want to win a free headshot session?

Every month, one New York City actor gets a full 60-minute studio session to help build the range they need to book. Sign up for my monthly newsletter and get automatically entered to win. Winners are selected on the first of each month.

  • This is not a ten minute session designed to check a box. It is a full, 60 minute shoot designed to provide you with professional assets.

  • We believe in giving back to the community that’s given so much to us. And that’s why once a month, in New York City, we award one free headshot session to and pay that forward.

  • Expect professional-grade finishing on your two winning frames. Our retouching philosophy is simple: you should look like you do on your best day, not a digital recreation.

Make your headshot standout as an actor.

The first page of Google returns some pretty impressive actor headshot photographers. The lighting is great. The retouching is great. The hair and makeup is coifed and beautiful.

But don’t you think it all sort of looks like all the same? Like everyone has the same brand of beautiful down to a science?

And when a casting director is flipping through a stack of headshots, and everyone looks the same brand of beautiful, how are you going to stand out?

Well, you can hire me.
