Welcome! I’m Dorothy Shi, a professional photographer based in New York City with over 10 years of experience specializing in headshots, corporate branding, fashion editorials, and special events. I’ve had the pleasure of working with major brands like Dove, Levi’s, and top financial firms including Bain Capital. I bring that same level of creativity, professionalism, and energy to every shoot—whether you're an actor needing standout headshots or a company looking to elevate its image. My goal is to make each session fun, relaxed, and confidence-boosting. I love capturing the real you—your personality, energy, and story—through the lens. Let’s create photos that don’t just look good, but truly feel like you.

I love working with and meeting new people. I have a genuine interest in getting to know each client that I have the privilege of working with. I also love collaboration and feel that the best shots come from working together and sharing a vision. I am passionate about photography and love working with light both natural and flash, how it influences the entire mood of a photo. It's why communication with a client is so important, to really understand what sort of photos we are going for and what we are saying and creating.
