As a personal branding photographer based in New York City, I collaborate with clients seeking portraits that feel genuine, refined, and unmistakably powerful, images that attract attention and open new opportunities. Let me craft stylish branding portraits you’ll be proud to share with your clients, colleagues, friends, and family.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, thought leader, author, creative professional, or someone reimagining your next chapter, your brand deserves photographs that speak louder than words. Based in NYC, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of talented leading women to capture their beauty and elevate their brands. Take a look at my portfolio and imagine yourself in these pictures!
This was my first photo shoot, and he made me feel so comfortable. He brings such a kind and fun energy to the shoot that allows you to shine and bring out your best self in the photos.
Branding Portraits for Business Savvy Entrepreneurs
As a leading lifestyle and fashion photographer based in New York City, I provide personal branding photography that’s fashionable, approachable and made for marketing. Book a branding portrait session and let your clients see you and your style in the most positive light. Then, watch how they connect with you on a personal level and become loyal to your brand.
Every session is tailored to reflect your unique style, goals, and target audience. From our first conversation, I’ll guide you through a seamless process:
Creative Consultation – We’ll discuss your brand identity, wardrobe, and the message you want your images to convey.
Location Planning – From the charm of the Upper West Side to the energy of SoHo or the quiet elegance of a private studio, your home in the Hamptons, I’ll help you choose the perfect backdrop.
Professional Direction – You’ll never have to worry about how to pose — I’ll guide you into natural, flattering positions so your personality shines through.
Signature Retouching – Every final image receives high-end, editorial-style refinement for a polished yet authentic finish.
I’ve had the honor of photographing hundreds of savvy women in the NYC area. Women who understand that their image is a vital part of their professional presence. Many of my clients tell me the experience feels less like a formal photoshoot and more like working with a trusted friend who happens to know exactly how to capture them at their best.
The results were incredible. I am constantly receiving compliments on my photos and everyone has been asking for Syed's info. The photos that Syed took for me allow both existing and potential clients to connect with me and be drawn to me on a professional and personal level. They have really elevated my business and made it an incredibly worthwhile investment.
Your brand is your legacy - let’s ensure it’s presented in the best possible light.
My personal branding sessions are designed to empower women from all backgrounds, focusing on embracing diverse beauty and cultural richness. Whether shooting in natural light or a studio environment, at your office, or on location, I’m dedicated to highlighting the depth and luminosity of skin tones with precision and artistry.
Every session is customised to showcase your individuality with style and confidence, creating images that resonate deeply with your audience and authentically represent your brand. I look forward to helping you create images that will make you smile, attract attention, and elevate your brand for years to come.
With over 15 years of experience and strong connections in NYC’s creative industry, I’m also happy to recommend trusted stylists, branding coaches, and social media experts to help you build a consistent, impactful presence. These resources can amplify your portraits into a complete brand transformation.
Reach out and let’s plan for a session in my studio, at your business, or on the streets of NYC. I can’t wait to create artwork for you that will make you smile and get you noticed!
