About Gareth Shaw Photography
About Gareth Shaw
Gareth is a NYC-based photographer creating headshots, portraits, personal branding images, and selected professional photography for people who need photographs with clarity, presence, and real human character.
Clear direction, calm collaboration, useful images.
Gareth’s work is built around people: how they want to be seen, where the images need to work, and what will help them feel more settled in front of the camera.
Sessions can be shaped around professional profiles, personal branding, creative portraits, team needs, editorial-style portrait work, and returning client projects.
A practical photography background.
Gareth has been making photographs since film and darkroom days, and brings that long-running attention to expression, light, composition, and client direction into the current digital work.
The site is being refocused around the services most visitors need now: headshots, portraits, personal branding, corporate/team photography, and selected portfolio work.
You are welcome here as you are.
Gareth Shaw Photography is LGBTQIA+ affirming and works with people across gender, sexuality, race, background, body type, age, and identity.
You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose or how to perform for the camera. Gareth will guide the session around who you are, how you want to be seen, and where the images need to work.
