02What Dorothy's studio actually does well

Dorothy Shi Photography runs a respected Manhattan headshot practice and Dorothy's directorial style is known for putting nervous corporate sitters at ease. The published portfolio of work with Wall Street executives and Midtown tech founders reads consistently well, and the rate band of USD $450 to $1,100 reflects the kind of in-studio craft the Professional Photographers of America credentialing programme trains its members toward. For a board portrait or a launch announcement headed to print, this is the kind of partner who earns the fee.
