I've been fortunate to live my life's dream of photographing business luminaries and celebrities worldwide for global magazine covers and advertising projects.
But my real passion is to make great portraits accessible to everyone.
I started The People's Portrait, located on Madison Avenue and 39th Street, just a short distance from Grand Central Station.
If you need to spruce up your website images, refresh your headshots, or update your LinkedIn profile, I can work with you based on your budget and timeframe to capture the true you.
I look forward to meeting you soon.

I am so thankful to have met Ben for my head shot. I needed a head shot at the last minute and found him through a Google search he replied within 24 hours and accommodated my schedule. Many people have asked where I got my head shot.

. The space is conveniently located, a couple blocks from grand central. Ben is a professional and great behind a camera, he knows how to make his subjects feel at ease and always has an interesting story to tell. I highly recommend him!

The People's Portrait travels the country and world for magazines, organizations, and events.
Publications like Esquire, Marie Claire, Shape, AARP, Politico, and others have hosted the Portrait Corner in the Halls of Congress, Backstage at the NBA Hall of Fame, and the streets of Aspen, Las Vegas, Miami, and beyond.
The People's Portrait is not just a physical portrait space but a place of connection, creating lasting memories. In a world of fleeting digital content, I strive to find visual connections and create cherished time capsules.
