Who will be photographing me?
Your session will be with one of our Turi Pro Photographers, each personally trained in our signature style. While Sean splits his time between NYC and LA, he's trained each photographer to deliver the same high-quality results. Let us know if you have a specific request when booking.
What should I wear?
Choose clothes that fit your profession or character type and look great in the mirror. Earth tones and pastels typically photograph beautifully, but if you love something specific, bring it - we'll test how it translates on camera.
Actor Headshots: Bring clothes that match your casting types 2-3 options per character look Mix of casual and professional pieces Colors that complement your features.
Corporate Headshots: Check your company's requirements Professional fits and classic styles Options for with/without jacket With/without tie variations With/without glasses if needed.
What to avoid: Graphics and logos High contrast patterns Busy designs Your entire closet.
Pro tip: Take time to plan your wardrobe. Being selective beats bringing everything you own. Not sure about something? Bring it along - we'll test how it photographs.

What if I don't like my photos?

Do you shoot outdoors?
Yes, but let's talk about it first. While outdoor shots can be great, we often achieve similar (or better) results in our controlled studio environment - minus the hassles of weather, crowds, and unpredictable lighting.
Want that outdoor look? Our studio setup can create those same natural vibes without dealing with: Temperature changes Weather delays Crowd interruptions Inconsistent lighting Location permits
Pro tip: Let's discuss your vision. We'll help you decide if outdoor shooting is worth the extra planning or if we can nail the look you want in our studio..
How many photos do I receive from my session?
We don't set a limit on the number of photos taken during your session. Our goal is to capture 3-5 standout images per look that make you think, "Yes, I love it and would use it!" You'll receive all the high-resolution photos from your session, free of watermarks. The exact number of photos varies, but on average, a 30-minute shoot yields 50-100 images, a 1-hour session results in 120-200 images, and a 2-hour session provides 200-300 images.
