Why Midtown Manhattan Professionals Choose Fuentes Studio
Fuentes Studio photographs the executives, attorneys, bankers, consultants, and founders who work along Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Sixth Avenue, and the Madison Avenue corridor — but not at their desks. Every session is shot outdoors in natural light in Riverdale and Van Cortlandt Park, The Bronx, which is 15 minutes from Midtown on the 1 train. Hop on at Times Square–42nd, 50th Street, or Columbus Circle and you are there before most people finish a coffee.
Sessions run Saturdays and Sundays only, so nobody has to spend a workday on it — LinkedIn refreshes, partner pages, firm directories, press kits, and executive portfolios. We also shoot in Spuyten Duyvil, Kingsbridge, and across lower Westchester. The work focuses on directed outdoor sessions, honest natural light, 48-hour turnaround, and images that sharpen how senior professionals are perceived before they ever walk into the room.

Questions About Our Midtown Manhattan Coverage
Where do Midtown clients actually get photographed?
Outdoors in Riverdale and Van Cortlandt Park, The Bronx — 15 minutes from Midtown on the 1 train. Every Fuentes Studio session is shot outdoors in natural light; there is no indoor studio. We also shoot in Spuyten Duyvil, Kingsbridge, and across lower Westchester (Yonkers, Bronxville, Hastings-on-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Tuckahoe, Eastchester, Scarsdale, Pelham, and Mount Vernon).
How do I get there from Midtown?
Take the 1 train uptown from Times Square–42nd Street, 50th Street, or 59th Street–Columbus Circle and ride it to 231st Street or 238th Street in Riverdale — about 15 minutes. If you work near Grand Central, the S shuttle or the 7 gets you to Times Square in a few minutes, then it is a straight run up the 1. We send the exact meeting spot and a pin when you book.
Which days can I book, and how far ahead?
Individual sessions run Saturdays and Sundays, so we ask for at least 7 days' notice to lock a time and send your style guide beforehand. Team and school photo days are the exception — those come to you on a weekday.
Do you photograph at Midtown offices?
No. Every session is outdoors in natural light in Riverdale, Van Cortlandt Park, and lower Westchester — we do not shoot inside offices, and there is no indoor studio to visit. Midtown professionals ride the 1 train up for about 15 minutes, which is usually faster than crossing town for a weekday appointment.
What do the backgrounds look like?
Natural by default — park greenery, tree lines, stone, and clean street backdrops around Riverdale and Van Cortlandt Park. If you need the classic seamless look for a firm directory or a company grid, we can bring a portable white backdrop outdoors and light it with natural light. Just ask when you book.
Can you photograph our whole Midtown team?
Yes — team and event days run on weekends and are quoted individually based on headcount, timing, and location. Everything is shot outdoors in natural light with consistent framing and editing so every team member's final image matches. Contact us for a quote.
