Its been several years since Ive gotten professional headshots for myself and Im thrilled that I found Dorothy Shi.From the second I stepped in the door I felt at ease and knew I was in good and capable hands. I entered the day a bundle of nerves since it had been years since I had done headshots, but quickly my nervousness washed away. Dorothy is an amazing photographer, but on top of that she is incredibly knowledgeable about this industry and guided me to capture four unique, yet authentic looks.I appreciated the insight she offered as I move forward as a working acting professional. Im leaving the studio with excellent headshots and many things to consider about this business and how to grow as an artist and professional.If youre looking for someone who knows how to work the camera and make you shine your brightest, the Dorothy is your person.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review, it truly means a lot to me. I’m so glad you felt at ease and supported throughout the session, especially coming back to headshots after some time—that’s a big moment, and you handled it beautifully. Creating four distinct, authentic looks that reflect both your range and who you are as an actor is always the goal, and you brought such great energy and openness to the process. It really shows in the final images. I’m especially happy the guidance and insight resonated with you as you continue growing in the industry. Wishing you continued success, and I look forward to working together again soon!

Dorothy Shi is a wonderful corporate headshot photographer in NYC. I loved how the photos came out and she made the process fun and easy. Highly recommend if you are looking for professional headshots to use on LinkedIn. I specifically wanted photos that were well-lit, had a light background, and were minimally edited. She did an amazing job accommodating my requests. I would definitely recommend to friends, family, and colleagues.
