What Clients Say
“Chris is the ultimate professional. He made me comfortable. He is kind. He is considerate. His work is absolutely stunning. He works quickly and I received my photos the next day, which is unheard of. His studio is in a beautiful old mill that adds to the ambiance of creativity. I walked into a world of photography photos, props, equipment, and furnishings. I knew in that moment this was someone who went above and beyond because of his love of this profession.”

“Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with — friendly, personable, and reassuring throughout the shoot. He offered helpful posing tips and made me feel completely at ease. Thanks to his patience and keen eye for creative detail, I never felt rushed, and every shot looked polished. I cannot recommend him more highly; he's the perfect photographer whether it's your first time in front of the camera or you're an experienced model.”

“Chris got so many amazing shots. He gave posing assistance and really worked with the lighting to make sure I was getting the most out of the shoot. He walked me through the photos while I was there to make sure we were getting the right angles. He also suggested different backgrounds and ideas for the photos. I got the finished photos back in a timely manner. Without a doubt one of the best photographers I have worked with.”

“Chris called me quick after I submitted online. The studio is in a unique building and I must say this was the funnest headshot session I ever had. Chris made me feel comfortable and offered guidance on how to pose. Same day, I was able to view the photos online and pick the ones I liked. Would definitely return in future. Highly recommend for anyone needing headshots.”

“Every aspect of the experience was absolutely perfect. My daughter is new to modeling and needs a lot of support with posing and expressions. From the get-go Chris made her feel 100% comfortable. The vibe was relaxed with music and he had her laughing authentically. The photos are absolutely stunning — they capture her true beauty and the quality is the best I've seen.”

About Your Photographer
Hi, I'm Chris.
I'm Chris McCarthy. I've spent over 10 years photographing actors, executives, models, and professionals — the people who need images that actually perform, not just look nice. My studio in Rockland runs Godox strobe systems and I build every lighting setup from scratch for the session type: clamshell configurations for clean LinkedIn and corporate work, split-lighting for theatrical actor looks, broad softboxes for editorial style portraits.
I shoot Sony full-frame mirrorless. Galleries are delivered in 3–5 business days — not two weeks. Every image is individually retouched, not batch-processed.
If the photos need to work — casting submissions, LinkedIn, press kits, corporate directories — that's the work I was built to do.
