New York Headshot Photographer - Todd Estrin

Posted by Todd Estrin Photography on July 3rd, 2017

Todd Estrin Photography - New York Headshot Photographer, specializing in portraits for actors. Todd has a very unique approach that separates him from other New York Headshot Photographers. Instead of a result oriented approach, Todd focuses on the process.

"Actors come to me for headshots. They say they need something confident, sexy, quirky, commercial, dramatic etc. I tell them to throw those ideas away. If the goal is to embrace who you are and ultimately capture your essence we need to start with where you are now, not an idea of who you think you need to be. You are much more interesting than an idea."

This approach lends itself to a real authentic experience in front of the camera. Here is what some people have said about working with Todd:

"Taking headshots, in my opinion, tends to be a daunting, arduous, albeit necessary task. I was dreading this photo shoot, but with in the first few minutes of meeting Todd, he put me at ease. During the shoot, Todd helped me to relax more by assuring me that he wanted to capture ME, and not some idea of what I'm supposed to look like. This was an invaluable part of my photo session with Todd; he never attempted to impose a particular 'look'. He worked with me and created images that genuinely reflected me... This photo shoot was a joy, and I feel that Todd truly honored and captured the authentic me."

- Kristin Anderson

"Todd captured the truest version of me.  Our session was a collaboration that came from a willingness to be open and seen, on my end, as well as his. I followed his lead, and I now have the most honest head shots I have ever taken. I couldn't be happier!"

-Frances Eve

"Working with Todd was such a welcome change from past photo shoots I've done. He has an actor's mind and knows exactly what to say to draw you out and help you connect to your most authentic self. The experience ends up being really collaborative; I look at my pictures and truly feel like I was part of their creation, which is amazing."

-Oliver Lehne
