Services
What we offer is a unique experience for our clients, something beyond just simple headshots or portraits.
Shooting in Manhattan gives our clients an uncommon access to spectacular backdrops and views. But any photographer can offer that, so we had to reach further. We have our own private studio with professional lighting and backdrops as well as multiple photo studio locations we are connected with.. Of course, we offer access to shoots on the street, Bryant Park, Central Park and more.
We offer portrait shoots, headshots, commercial shoots, product shoots, corporate shoots, boudoir shoots, jewelry shoots, fashion shoots, bikini shoots, lingerie shoots, pet shoots, etc. The only thing we are not available for is nude shoots (sorry).
We have been doing this for over a decade. Whether you are using these photos to line up a movie role, or looking for the one on a dating site, we make sure to make you stand out, and be all that you can be.
Headshots
We offer multiple location headshots. Shoot in our studio, our roof, on the street, or in a park.

Commercial – Editorial
EvanWasHere Photography has shot many commercial and editorial spreads for print.
Whether in a Manhattan penthouse or on a NYC street, we are able to bring our expertise, experience, gear, and professionals to complete your project.

Sit back and relax as it all unfolds and we secretly capture every moment. You’ll be able to relive your engagement time and again with of beautiful images available to view and download off a cloud server.
Preparation?
Once you book the shoot, we ask that our future clients look through our portfolio to see what is possible and to get some ideas for what you want to do.
Bring extra clothing for different looks, jewelry, makeup, shoes, etc. We have blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons if needed.
Makeup/Hair/Stylist?
A MUA (makeup artist), hair stylist, etc is available for our clients. Since we need to reserve them for the day of the shoot, a $125 deposit is required via online payment.
The initial MUA session does not cut into the time of your shoot. Any retouches though will be done during the shoot allotted time. You of course are free to do your own hair and makeup or get it professionally done before the shoot.
The night before?
We ask our clients not to party the night before (you need beauty sleep), do not get a self tanner session 3 days before (you will be orange in the shoot), and do not get lip injections the day before the shoot (this has happened). When you shoot headshots, a little thing such as lack of sleep is really noticeable. You give us your best, and we will make you shine!We also ask that our clients to spare some time right after their shoot, to review their photos on our screens, and choose the photos they would like retouched. This speeds up our process to get your your final results quicker.
After the shoot?
We also ask that our clients to spare some time right after their shoot, to review their photos on our screens, and choose the photos they would like retouched. This speeds up our process to get your your final results quicker.
Can I bring a friend/escort?
Of course!
I have specific poses in mind?
That’s great! Send us some example images. Search for the poses on Google image search if you haven’t already.
What’s your travel cost?
We don’t charge extra for travel. Just the cost of the Lyft or Uber to the location(s).
What if it rains?
If the shoot you want to do can only be done outside, we will review the weather on the days leading up to your shoot. If the forecast calls for rain 3 days before the shoot, we can delay the shoot to another day. If that is the only day you can shoot and you insist on keeping that appointment, you will be charged accordingly.
Payments?
Payments can be made via online Square Cash app, Chase Quickpay, credit card, and of course cash. Corporate checks are fine, but sorry, no personal checks.
Refunds?
There are no refunds for a shoot. Please understand that every hour in the studio costs money. Every location needed to be traveled cost money. And finally the hours on Photoshop perfecting your photo costs money. So a refund is not possible. But we will work with you on finding out what you didn’t like about your photos, and perfect it to the best of our abilities.
Schedule?
We are shooting 7 days a week, from 10am – 9pm.
