Corporate teams & executives

A strong team
should look like one.

A consistent visual standard for the people who represent your company.

New hires, mismatched headshots and executive bios photographed years apart can make a strong organization look less coherent than it is.

For teams of eight or more, I bring the portrait studio to your office and photograph your people in planned rotations. Consistent lighting, background and direction. Minimal disruption to the working day.

of a published feature.

Divorce & Liberation

The portrait you take
when the ring comes off.

A portrait session built around a point of transition, when the next image of yourself belongs to the life ahead.

Made for moments of transition. Quiet or bold, sensual or restrained, the work begins with agency.

Direction stays focused on expression, posture and presence.
The session

You do not need to know
how to pose.

Direction is part of the work.

I use conversation, movement and precise visual guidance until the camera stops feeling like the point of the session. The goal is an image that feels controlled without looking over-managed and recognizable without feeling ordinary.

17 years Before photography, I worked in M&A and growth strategy. That experience still shapes how I photograph executives, founders and people whose image has to work in serious professional contexts.

Booking

From booking
to final selects.

01

Choose the session

Select the kind of portrait that matches what you need.

02

Reserve the date

Individual sessions move directly to booking. Corporate dates begin with a short scope conversation.

03

Shoot & select

The session is directed throughout. Final photographs follow the agreed selection and retouching process.

Where are individual sessions photographed?
Individual New York sessions are based in Williamsburg. Exact studio and meeting details are confirmed with the booking.
Do you photograph corporate teams on-site?
Yes. For teams of eight or more, the portrait setup comes to your office in New York City so the team can be photographed in planned rotations with minimal disruption.
What should I wear?
Wardrobe depends on the session and what the images need to communicate. You will receive direction before the shoot so the clothing supports the portrait rather than distracting from it.
What if I am uncomfortable in front of a camera?
That is normal. Direction is built into the session. You will be guided through posture, expression, movement and small adjustments rather than being expected to arrive knowing how to pose.
Is retouching included?
Final deliverables and retouching depend on the session selected. The booking flow should show the exact inclusions for the package you choose.
What happens after Sept 22?
This New York residency window ends Sept 22. Later commissions should be requested through the main Javi Alvarez site.

If this is the portrait you've been meaning to make,
this is the window.
