Match Production, a New York City-based portrait and production studio, has announced an expanded focus on editorial-style executive portraiture and custom corporate photography designed specifically for leadership teams and ambitious startups. The studio operates with a production mindset that includes structured scheduling, repeatable lighting, and a crewed workflow to maintain quality and consistency while keeping senior leaders comfortable during sessions. This expansion addresses a significant challenge facing communications professionals, human resources teams, and founders: obtaining the right images quickly while matching brand standards, navigating tight calendars, and maintaining a cohesive look for leadership teams over time.
The company's approach emphasizes speed and efficiency, with proofs typically delivered same day or within one business day, and final retouched selections turned around quickly depending on scope to ensure press opportunities aren't missed while waiting for imagery. This rapid turnaround capability has proven crucial for time-sensitive corporate announcements and media opportunities where visual assets must align with strategic communications timelines. Match Production's methodology combines editorial photography expertise with corporate production systems, creating a hybrid approach that delivers both creative excellence and operational reliability.
Recent projects demonstrate the studio's capabilities across different sectors and requirements. For a venture-backed AI startup preparing for a funding announcement, Match delivered a press-kit-ready library including team headshots, leadership portraits with editorial polish, and authentic workplace lifestyle imagery. The studio also created a signature founders image captured on-location in lower Manhattan to provide unmistakable New York City context. When a Manhattan fintech firm needed leadership headshots for a global press announcement on a 48-hour deadline, Match converted an on-site conference room into a mobile studio and delivered final retouched portraits within 36 hours, showcasing their adaptability to urgent corporate needs.
For a Fortune 500 financial services client, Match produced 47 executive portraits aligned to a precise brand background (Pantone 282 C), maintaining matching color temperature and backdrop positioning across multiple days. These images were built for press materials, investor presentations, and LinkedIn updates, demonstrating how consistent visual branding across executive portraits can strengthen corporate identity and messaging. The studio's photographers have deep editorial experience with work published across major titles including Forbes, Esquire, Inc., and GQ, paired with a corporate delivery system that keeps projects predictable for internal stakeholders.
Lisa, Head of Production at Match Production, explained the studio's philosophy: "Executives don't need more time on their calendar—they need a process that works. We build a calm, guided set, keep the day moving, and deliver portraits that look premium and deploy cleanly across every channel a company touches." The studio offers executive portraits, leadership headshots, corporate team sessions, and custom image libraries for internal communications and external visibility, available in-studio near Times Square and on-site across New York City.

The expansion of Match Production's focus comes at a time when corporate visual identity has become increasingly important across digital platforms, with executive portraits serving as key assets for media relations, investor communications, recruitment efforts, and brand building. The studio's ability to combine editorial aesthetics with corporate efficiency addresses a growing market need for photography that balances creative excellence with practical business requirements. As companies increasingly recognize the strategic value of consistent, high-quality visual representation of their leadership teams, specialized services like those offered by Match Production become essential components of corporate communications strategies.
