Team headshot day · New York
In short
Team headshot day in New York starts at $1,400: 5 hours on location with a photographer who works in New York, and 40 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.
Why choose Team headshot day in New York?
A team headshot day in New York is a five-hour on-site studio set up inside your office, priced from $1,400 for up to 40 people photographed against one consistent background. New York offices are dense and expensive, so the question is rarely whether there is space and usually which room can be given up for a day. A conference room of about twelve by fifteen feet is enough. The scheduling sheet matters more here than elsewhere, because a team spread across hybrid days is never all in the office at once, and the day is booked for the date the most people are in.
Worth knowing about New York
Two New York details decide how a team headshot day is invoiced and admitted. New York State Department of Taxation and Finance advisory opinions state that photographic images delivered solely electronically are not subject to sales tax, while photographs delivered on a tangible medium are, so a team day delivered as a download gallery carries no sales tax on the image files. Manhattan office buildings usually ask a vendor for a certificate of insurance before equipment is let past the lobby, and that certificate is sent to your building manager a week ahead.

FAQ — Team headshot day in New York
Is New York sales tax charged on a corporate headshot day?
Not on files delivered only electronically. The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has stated in advisory opinions that photographic images delivered solely electronically are not subject to sales tax, while prints or other tangible media delivered in New York are taxable. A New York team headshot day is delivered as a download gallery, so the image files themselves fall on the untaxed side of that line.
What does our New York office building need before a headshot day?
Usually a certificate of insurance naming the building and its managing agent, sent to the building manager about a week before the date, and a freight-elevator or loading-dock booking for the equipment cases. Requirements differ from building to building in New York, so the corporate headshot booking asks for your building’s vendor rules when the date is set.
