I had a great experience with Michael. He was very responsive, scheduling was super easy, and he clearly understood what I wanted. We had a very efficient photo shoot and I got exactly the kind of headshots I wanted. And last but not the least, it was a really windy day which really messed up my hair, but he came to the rescue with a can of hairspray and comb, and managed to make it look good! More...

I had a great time doing a headshot photoshoot with Michel - he was a lot of fun to work with, we captured lots of shots and selected the best after a few takes. He was also a pleasure to talk to during the shoot, which made it much more relaxed and natural - and it showed in the photos. Wish him the best! More...

Brennan Murphy
Headshot Photographers
Michel is an outstanding photographer! His skills and knowledge are top-notch, and he made the entire process easy and enjoyable.
He was friendly, helpful, and incredibly professional, ensuring I felt comfortable throughout the shoot.
The quality of the photos exceeded my expectations—crisp, well-lit, and exactly what I was looking for. There are agencies that charge 10x his rate, but honestly, Michel’s work is just as good, if not better. If you're in NYC and need a professional headshot at a fair price, look no further. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone!

I watched magic happen when I accompanied Michel Nafziger and my 14year old grandson James, on a photo-shoot in Central Park. I observed Michel assuring a presence within James to be completely himself in front of the camera. And as the shoot progressed, their collaboration became more in sync and more refined—leaving me stunned at what I had just witnessed. I believe I saw a Master at work: JF.

Priyanka P.
From start to finish, Michel made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. He has a warm personality and professional yet relaxed approach which made us feel at ease, even while trying to manage our toddler and newborn for the shoot.
Michel was very patient and took advantage of the moments that the little ones would cooperate for. He has a knack for capturing the most beautiful moments in such an authentic way.
The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations, and the turnaround time was impressive. Highly recommend Michel to anyone looking for a talented, dedicated, and patient photographer who goes above and beyond to ensure you have memories to treasure for a lifetime. Thank you for capturing our newborn and our growing family!
