Why Luminous Space

Not Just Headshots.
Editorial. Strategic. Technical.
No Other Studio Does All Three.

One studio — everything you need to look as sharp as the work you do.

01
Vogue-Exhibited · Award-Winning

Award-Winning Creative Direction

Led by a Vogue-exhibited, NYFA-trained photographer. You get magazine-level lighting and real-time posing direction — not a point-and-shoot experience.

02
Consulting · Positioning · Brand Growth

Built by a Strategy Consultant

Your headshot should match your seniority and your industry. We plan every detail — expression, styling, backdrop — around how you want to be perceived.

03
Tech · Finance · Law · Healthcare

We Know Your Industry

A VC partner, a startup CTO, and a real estate broker don't need the same headshot. We understand the visual standards of your field — and photograph you accordingly.

04
AI-Powered · Multi-Platform · Digital

Ready for Every Platform

LinkedIn, company website, conference bios, pitch decks — your images are retouched, cropped, and optimized for every use case. Need an AI avatar? We do that too.

Tired of Headshots That Don't Do You Justice?

  • Stiff, awkward photos that don't look like you
  • No direction — just "smile" and hope for the best
  • Generic results that could be anyone in any industry
  • Images you're embarrassed to use professionally

✓ Walk out confident — with images you're proud to put everywhere.

Founded by a filmmaker and a strategy consultant turned AI engineer — we don't just take your photo. We craft the professional image your career deserves.

Book Your Session

Today, people meet you online before they meet you in person.

Your photo shapes that first impression — and it often decides whether someone trusts you, hires you, or chooses to work with you.

A great headshot helps you:

  • Instantly look credible with a real, current image (not outdated, not AI-generated)

  • Attract the right opportunities and make people want to connect

  • Show up with confidence — professional presence, clarity, and authority on camera

Why Invest In Standout Headshots?

Our Approach

Business-First Approach: We focus on credibility, clarity, and professional presence — images created to work in real business settings

Look Your Best: Magazine-quality lighting with expert, efficient coaching led by an award-winning photographer

Custom Sessions: Available anytime at our studio or your preferred location — from a quick 20-minute headshot to an extended branding shoot

Expression Coaching: No stiff or awkward expressions — just a natural, confident presence guided with purpose

No Surprises: Live image review on a large monitor with real-time direction for consistent, polished results

Built for Real Use: Clean, modern images ready for LinkedIn, websites, and press — without unnecessary complexity or wasted time

Everything You Want to Know About Headshots

  • We recommend professional attire with clean lines and neutral colors. For example, men can wear a suit and dress shirt; women can opt for a blazer or a dark-toned dress. Avoid bold patterns, bright colors, or visible brand logos to keep the focus on your professional presence.

  • Our standard package includes one outfit. If you’d like to add another look, it’s an additional $149 per outfit, and you’ll receive one extra retouched photo.

  • Absolutely! We offer a variety of backgrounds, including white, gray, black, light blue, and beige, all in an editorial magazine-style lighting setup. Please choose during booking or discuss your preference before the session.

  • We offer complimentary touch-ups on-site; however, please arrive with your hair and makeup already prepared. A clean, natural look is recommended to reflect a professional image best.

  • Photo selection will take place in the studio immediately after the shoot and is expected to take about 15 minutes. Final edited photos will be delivered via an online gallery within 3-10 business days. Rush delivery for under 5 photos (next-day) is available for an additional $100.

  • We offer 2 rounds of free revisions. Any further changes beyond that will incur a small editing fee per request.

  • Yes! We provide editorial-quality retouching that maintains your natural features while enhancing your energy, confidence, and presence. One free revision is included with each retouched image.

  • Definitely. You can reserve your session and pay a deposit through our website. Once you select your time and background, we’ll follow up within 48 hours to confirm the details.
