Medical headshots have a different job than corporate ones. Patients searching for a provider on a hospital bio page or a practice website are looking for a face they can trust—someone who looks calm, approachable, and competent. We have photographed physicians, physician assistants, residents, nurses, and healthcare recruiters across Metro Detroit, with results published on Henry Ford Health, Beaumont/Corewell, DMC, Equiti Health, and independent practice websites. Most clients shoot in two looks: a white coat for the hospital bio and clinical credentials, and a business-professional look for LinkedIn, conference programs, and speaking engagements. We bring multiple backdrop options to either format. Sessions include unlimited time, live image review on a calibrated monitor, and same-day proofs, with finished images within two days of your picks.

"I had a great experience with Andrew. As soon as I booked the appointment, he called me to align on my needs and expectations. During the photo shoot, he made me feel at ease and he took a lot of really good shots. It was hard to choose just a few. The editing process was really quick and even when I requested additional adjustments, he did them right away and made sure I was happy with the results. I'd highly recommend Andrew!"
