02Where Michael earns the editorial rate

Michael Benabib carries a strong reputation in the New York editorial-portrait scene and the photographer's work with founders, executives, and music-industry sitters reads polished, intentional, and well-art-directed. The published portfolio supports a rate band that sits at the upper end of the USD $400 to $1,200 typical New York session market, with editorial sittings often above that. The Professional Photographers of America standards are reflected in the quality of the work and the fee is a fair price for that level of in-person craft.

03A free preview is the buyer's protection

Our pricing is one-time and never subscription-based. The watermarked preview surfaces multiple looks before any payment lands. If they miss, you walk and we earn nothing. If they land, the Starter unlocks five HD photos for fifteen US dollars, the Pro is thirty-five for twenty, the Premium is sixty-five for fifty with a commercial license. Forbes coverage of buyer-regret patterns in services keeps returning to payment-before-proof as the most common single source of dissatisfaction with discretionary spending.

04Where the AI flow actually wins

For everyday LinkedIn refreshes, conference speaker submissions, board profile updates, and the steady cycle of profile presence a senior New York professional needs across a year, the math is clear. Pew Research findings, summarised on the Pew Research Center site, keep tracking that AI buyers want to verify the result before they commit. Try the free preview before you weigh an editorial sitting.
