Professional executive headshot by David Beyda Studio

The Experience:
With over 20 years behind the lens in New York City, I’ve worked with every type of professional—from the powerhouse CEO to the quiet genius. I know that for most, ‘headshot day’ is a chore. My job is to change that. While I handle the technical heavy lifting and a few creative distractions to keep things fun, you can focus on simply being yourself.

The Result:
My philosophy is simple: when you feel good, you look good. I believe in capturing the genuine spark that makes you an expert, bypassing stiff poses for a natural, elevated look. You’ll walk away with a polished portrait that perfectly represents your brand and a session memory you’ll actually enjoy. GREAT HEADSHOTS, HAPPY PEOPLE. That’s the David Beyda Studio promise.

We’ll hop on a quick call to map out your session. Clear communication is the secret to a great portrait; it’s where we align on your professional vision and ensure the lighting and direction are perfectly tailored to you.

While we can happily arrange a professional makeup artist, most of our executive clients opt for a natural look. Our signature digital retouching expertly handles skin texture and fine details, ensuring you look polished yet authentic.

We’ll discuss what’s best for your specific goals during our planning call.

Your professional style is part of your brand. If your message is formal, I recommend crisp, clean lines and well-tailored clothing that fits comfortably—men, please ensure your top button closes easily. While solid colors generally provide the most timeless look, rules are made to be broken, and we can discuss patterns if they fit your personality. Whether you need a traditional corporate look or a modern, tech-forward style, we’ll coordinate your wardrobe during our planning call to ensure you look like the best version of yourself.
