What Makes a Great Professional Portrait?
A great portrait isn't simply a technically perfect photograph.
It should say something about the person being photographed.
Professional lighting, posing, composition, expression, camera angle, wardrobe, and background all contribute to the finished image, but your personality should remain at the center of the photograph.
At Tals Studio, we work with you throughout your session to create portraits that feel professional and polished without looking overly posed or generic.

Professional Studio Portraits in NYC
Studio photography gives us precise control over lighting, backgrounds, composition, and the overall mood of your photographs.
During your one-hour session, we can adjust the lighting and background while working through different poses, expressions, and wardrobe choices.
This allows us to create a diverse gallery rather than giving you dozens of photographs that all look the same.
Three Background Colors Included
Your $299 Professional Portrait Photography Package includes three background colors.
Changing backgrounds is one of the ways we can create more variety during your session.
A clean neutral background can produce a classic professional portrait, while another background may create a more expressive or contemporary look.
We'll help you choose backgrounds that complement your clothing, complexion, and the overall style of photography you want.
Unlimited Poses, Sittings & Changes
Your one-hour session includes unlimited poses, sittings, and changes during the available session time.
We can work through:
Standing portraits
Sitting portraits
Close-up portraits
Three-quarter portraits
Full-length photographs
Different expressions
Wardrobe changes
Multiple backgrounds
Different camera angles
Different compositions
The variety gives you more options when selecting your final photographs.
Don't Know How to Pose? We'll Guide You
You don't need professional modeling experience to have a successful portrait session.
Photographer Zion Yoni Levy will guide you throughout the photoshoot with posture, facial expressions, hand placement, body positioning, head position, and camera angles.
Small adjustments can have a major impact on a portrait.
Our job is to help you become comfortable in front of the camera so your photographs feel confident and natural.
80–120 Portraits to Choose From
During your one-hour session, we'll create approximately 80–120 photographs.
After your photoshoot, you'll receive an online gallery for proofing.
You can review your images and choose the 10 photographs you want professionally retouched.
This allows you to select the portraits that best represent how you want to be seen.
10 Professionally Retouched High-Resolution Images
Your package includes 10 final professionally retouched high-resolution photographs.
Our retouching approach is designed to produce polished portraits while maintaining a natural and recognizable appearance.
Your high-resolution images are ideal for professional prints, framing, portfolios, websites, personal branding, marketing materials, social media, and personal keepsakes.
Your final images also include full usage rights.
Personal Branding Portrait Photography NYC
For entrepreneurs, creatives, consultants, authors, speakers, and other professionals, your personal image can be an important part of your brand.
A professional portrait session can provide photographs for:
Your website
About page
Social media
Professional biography
Press features
Marketing materials
Speaking engagements
Digital profiles
Personal branding campaigns
Instead of relying on one photograph everywhere, your session can give you multiple professional images for different uses.
Birthday & Milestone Portrait Photography
Professional portrait photography isn't limited to business.
A photoshoot can also be a meaningful way to celebrate a birthday, personal achievement, anniversary, new chapter, or other milestone.
Professional portraits preserve what you look and feel like at a particular moment in your life, creating photographs that can remain meaningful for years.
What Should You Wear for a Portrait Photoshoot?
Your wardrobe helps define the style of your photographs.
Consider bringing multiple options, such as:
A classic professional outfit
Casual clothing
Formal attire
Fashion-forward clothing
Simple neutral pieces
A favorite personal outfit
A statement look
Meaningful accessories
Choose clothing that fits well and makes you feel confident.
Since your package includes unlimited changes during your session, bringing several wardrobe options can help us create more variety.
40+ Years of Professional Photography Experience
Tals Studio photographer Zion Yoni Levy brings more than 40 years of professional photography experience to every session.
Professional portrait photography requires more than technical camera knowledge.
Understanding lighting, posing, expression, composition, communication, and how to make someone comfortable in front of the camera all contribute to creating a successful portrait.
Our goal is to combine that experience with your individual personality to create photographs that feel professional, polished, and personal.

Portrait Photography vs. Professional Headshots
Although portrait photography and headshot photography overlap, they often serve different purposes.
A professional headshot typically focuses closely on the face and upper body and is commonly used for LinkedIn, resumes, company websites, and business profiles.
A professional portrait session provides more creative flexibility with wardrobe, posing, backgrounds, full-length compositions, and personal style.
If your primary goal is LinkedIn or corporate use, a professional headshot session may be the better choice. If you want a broader and more diverse collection of photographs, our one-hour portrait session provides greater creative flexibility.
