About
I’m Dorothy Shi, a New York City–based corporate headshot and actor headshot photographer with over 25 years of experience working with executives, professionals, actors, and companies across NYC. I specialize in corporate headshots for companies and organizations, providing both studio sessions and on-location headshot days for teams. I regularly photograph groups ranging from 10 to 200+ employees, creating consistent, polished headshots that align with a company’s brand and professional image. Using studio-quality lighting, expert expression coaching, and an efficient workflow, I ensure each person receives a strong, confident portrait while keeping the workday running smoothly. These images are ideal for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, leadership teams, press releases, and marketing materials. In addition to corporate work, I am also a trusted actor headshot photographer in NYC, creating natural, casting-ready headshots for film, television, theater, and commercial auditions. My sessions focus on authentic expression, strong character presence, and versatile looks that help actors stand out to casting directors and agents. I also photograph children actor and model headshots, working closely with young talent to capture confident, natural images suitable for agency submissions and auditions. Beyond headshots, I provide corporate event photography for conferences, panels, seminars, company celebrations, and internal events. My approach combines a clean editorial style with an eye for authentic moments that highlight people, brand presence, and company culture. My goal is always the same: to create images that are professional, natural, and impactful, helping individuals and organizations present their best image.

My photoshoot experience with Dorothy Shi and her team was outstanding! Dorothy's photography expertise and warmth came through as she created my submission photos consisting of my actor headshot, model portfolio, and model digitals photoshoot.Her talented hair and makeup artist brought out features in me I didn't realize I had. I highly recommend Dorothy Shi Photography!
Dorothy Shi Studio's reply
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure working with you. As an actor headshot and model portfolio photographer, my goal is always to create images that feel authentic, competitive, and ready for submission. Your actor headshot, model portfolio, and digitals each needed a slightly different energy, and you brought such strong presence to every look. I’m also so glad you loved the hair and makeup. A great team elevates everything, and when styling and photography align, the results really shine. Wishing you exciting submissions, strong callbacks, and wonderful opportunities ahead. I can’t wait to see where these images take you.
