Presence, Captured with Precision

Hi, I’m Lindi. I shoot headshots and portraits in New York City for actors, performers, corporate professionals, and anyone who needs a photograph that actually looks like them.  My focus is simple:  keep things real- nothing forced, nothing overdone.

My Approach

My approach centers on the message you bring to the camera—less about stiff posing, more about presence and energy.

My style ranges from cinematic theatrical legit shots to bright and colorful commercial shots. Which direction we take is completely up to you—and if you’re torn, there’s no need to choose. We can do both!

For Actors

No pressure, no rushing through looks. We take the time to find what feels natural and true to you. Bring plenty of options. We'll figure it out together. You'll leave with headshots that are honest, strong, and ready to go to work.

Your headshot is doing a lot before you walk in the room. I pay close attention to light, expression, and all the small details so you are free to be yourself. Every session is about getting images that feel natural and authentic, and like you.

    Kids Photography

    Kids sessions are low-key by design. I work at their pace, keep things easy, and don't push. The best pictures happen when nobody's forcing it. You end up with portraits that are real, timeless, and full of who they actually are.

    Lindi was so great to work with. Was up for anything and everything and made it such an easy, open environment for me to really get exactly what I wanted. As customized of an experience as I could have asked for, and a gorgeous return. If you're struggling to choose, choose Lindi.

    - Sanne Anthony

  • Close-up portrait of a bald man with a white beard, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a dark zip-up sweater, crossing his arms against a dark background.

    We did headshot photos with Lindi. She was absolutely great. Professional, charming, generous, and creative. I highly recommend her for people who needs all kinds of photographs. Lindi rocks.

    - Shaul Magid

  • Close-up of a woman with short, curly dark hair, wearing a blue and green plaid shirt, against a dark background.

    I first noticed Lindi's photography from a friend of mine she photographed. I was blown away by her work and reached out asking who the photographer was. A few weeks later, I was in Lindi's studio and had the best time working with her to capture a new look for me as a filmmaker.

    - Victoria Negri

  • Close-up photo of a young person with short dark brown hair, wearing a maroon hoodie with white drawstrings, standing against a plain dark background.

    Lindi is a truly amazing photographer! My family will treasure the images she created for us for the rest of our lives. She was able to put us at ease and create exactly the feel we were looking for. The most difficult part is picking the best photo because we loved every single one of them. Getting out photos done by Lindi was the very best experience.

    - Susan Young-Fleming

  • Close-up of a smiling elderly woman with curly gray hair, wearing a dark top, against a dark background.

    Lindi Gordon’s portraiture (or photography?) is singular. Her work, subtle and extraordinary, the rich beauty and minimalism of Dorothea Lange and the raw depth of Diane Arbus. She creates portraits of one’s interior and outer being. And my head shot is spot on!

    - Bruni Burres

  • Close-up of a woman with blue eyes, wavy light brown hair, wearing a blue top, against a dark background.

    Lindi is creative and so fun to work with. She spent time before the session to help me narrow down what my expectations and desired shots were. She is very collaborative on the day and goes above and beyond to get you your shot! Quick turn around with images and amazing communication

    - Erika Chase

  • A woman with short dark hair and green eyes smiling against a pink background. She is wearing a gray long-sleeve sweater and mustard-colored pants, with one hand in her pocket.

    Highly recommended! Lindi was wonderful to work with. She made the process collaborative and fun, and I felt very comfortable even as someone who's never worked with a professional photographer before. I ended up with a beautiful image for an important milestone in my career, and I am thrilled with the result.

    - Katie Turinski

  • Close-up of a young woman with wavy, shoulder-length reddish-brown hair, wearing a black sleeveless top, and looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression against a dark green background.

    My manager recommended four distinct looks, and Lindi helped me shoot each one to fit my goals exactly! I felt comfortable and relaxed during the shoot. I wasn't rushed, yet the process was still smooth and efficient. My new headshots turned out amazing and even better than I'd hoped, definitely worth the investment!

    - Cayla Berejikian

  • A man wearing a black hat and a black jacket over a colorful floral shirt against a gray background.

    Lindi is a true artist who knows how to put her subject at ease and capture their essence on film. I have shot with her several times and I am certain I will again. She is a joy to work with.

    - John Brodeur

  • Two men are close together, one with a brown hat and the other with short dark hair and a beard. The man with the hat is smiling slightly, while the other man is smirking. The man with the beard has several colorful bracelets on his wrist, and his hand is resting on the shoulder of the man with the hat. They are against a plain dark background.

    Lindi was a joy to work with! Super professional! Her place was clean and comfortable. I cannot recommend her enough! If you need photos this is the place! You will not be disappointed!

    - Lawrence Vasquez

  • Close-up of a middle-aged man with gray hair and gray beard wearing a light blue dress shirt against a dark background.

    Lindi is the best around! She goes above and beyond to ensure you’re comfortable in her studio and in front of the camera. Loved working with her for my headshots and family portraits. She’s also close to the express 2/3, which is a definite plus!

    - Christopher Vasquez

  • I absolutely loved working with Lindi! She was so patient and calm with my kids. They felt really comfortable working with her! The studio was just a few blocks from the train, so that was also very convenient. Lindi was super professional, the studio was clean and tidy.

    - Umma S.

    I have had two very professional and easy shoots with Lindi for acting headshots. I was relaxed and felt listened to. I welcomed her input on backgrounds and I never felt rushed or pressured. I highly recommend working with her and will be back!

    - Nate Betancourt

  • Close-up of a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing a purple dress shirt, standing against a gray background.

    I was referred to Lindi by my agent for new headshots and after checking out her website I was immediately impressed by her work. I am a veteran of the fashion/entertainment/acting industry and shooting with Lindi was an absolute pleasure.

    - Jeffrey C.

  • Close-up of a young woman with long, wavy brown hair, green eyes, and pink lipstick, wearing a blue top against a neutral background.

    - Trinity Brown

  • Portrait of a woman with dark brown hair, wearing a white shirt, looking at the camera with a gentle expression, touching her neck and shoulder.

    Lindi was great to work with in getting new commercial headshots. She allowed me to have a say in certain aspects of the shoot, such as choice of background color and poses, which made me feel like my shots weren't going to look like everyone else's. She really works with the talent in that way, which is rare in this business. I look forward to working with her again!

    - Victoria Smith

  • A woman standing confidently with her arms crossed in front of a blue wall, wearing a gray turtleneck sweater and jeans.

    Lindi is incredibly passionate about photography. She took over 600 pictures, and throughout the entire process, she constantly checked in with me to make sure I was happy with every shot. She’s an amazing person who truly loves what she does, and you can clearly see that passion reflected in her work.

    - Jacky Obam

  • Close-up of a young man with dark hair and blue eyes, wearing a black denim jacket over a white shirt against a maroon background.

    I had a great time working with Lindi! She was very helpful and collaborative. In the time we had, we were very efficient with getting multiple outfits and she took some great photos! I would definitely recommend her for your next headshots!
