My Photos in New Rizzoli Book

Very proud to be well represented in the new Rizzoli book, the just-published Def Jam Recordings: The First 25 Years of the Last Great Record Label. It is heavy with photos, album covers and designs that capture the brash attitude of the company. Click on an image below to hear Bill Adler, the author of the book (and longtime publicist for Def Jam), and Cey Adams, who ran design for the company for many years, tell stories about some of Def Jam's most striking visuals.

Reviews From Headshot Clients

Shannon O'Malley Kelly ‎ - Sep 21, 2011

I had never done a headshot before in my life, so of course arriving to the studio I didn't know what to expect. After about 3 minutes I felt as a model in front of the camera. Michael makes you feel like you are doing a great job, therefore giving you the confidence to continue doing well. His photographs are clear and can make anyone look like a true professional. He helps you with different poses, outfits and looks. I have never had so much fun in front of the camera before!

Michael was really professional and good at what he does. I was able to get some really good professional headshots in various lighting, positions, and wardrobe. There is real value and quality involved in his work - truly grateful to him for these amazing  photos. Thanks Mike! Lou

Michael was better then Fantastico! I had him do a model shot for my 16 year old daughter, and I was quiet frankly amazed at the professionalism and talent of his support staff as well. His stylist and make up expert (Tyron) are a must. My father was in the business for thirty years and i know true talent when see it. The value was unbelievable and the outcome was better then we could have imagined! Thank you so very much!

Michael took some fantastic photographs and I would recommend him to anyone, easily. Not only is he extremely professional, but he is an awesomely down to earth guy, which makes the photo-shoot even more effortless. Thank you for the great pictures, Michael!

If you're at all self-conscious about having photographs taken, I highly recommend Michael. Aside from being the consummate professional, he gracious and engaging and practices his craft with great skill. Both my wife and I have used Michael and would do so again . . . without reservation.

Michael is the best photographer I have ever worked with. With Michael's direction, I felt like a natural in front of the camera. He was able to capture my beautiful smile and confidence. Without a doubt, I would recommend Michael to anyone in need of professional photos, whether you're an actor, entertainer, or business professional. As a result of Michael's talent, my pictures look wonderful. I would definitely use Michael again in the future. Thank you very much!!!!

Michael is awesome! He is a very down to earth guy, ready to be both fun and professional in a shoot. My pictures came out wonderfully, I think (I hope) I look beautiful and relaxed. His studio setup is great and finally, his makeup artist was amazing as well! The whole experience was great!

Michael was incredibly friendly and was great at capturing the looks I wanted. He not only enhanced what I was going for, but he also used creativity to generate some special shots. His studio is both comfortable and professional. I'm very happy with the product he delivered. Great guy, and great at what he does!

I've had several of these head shot sessions over the course of my career and the session with Michael was certainly the best. He made me feel quite comfortable; he's become a master on very interesting small talk. I was at ease during the entire shoot. He was set up to do a lot of shots from different angles and with different backgrounds. I felt that he budgeted the proper amount of time including the time to take me through the process of what I should do as 'next steps'. I can certainly say that the entire process was enjoyable and created the desired outcome, i.e. he's a very good photographer, too!

If you are looking for Headshots in NYC, Michael Benabib is your man! I'm really new to this whole thing and was a little nervous. Michael made me feel at ease and really walked me through headshot process. He explained why he was doing what he was, gave me some tips, and made me feel really comfortable. Give him a try, you won't regret it!

Michael Benabib is great. He's artistic, my office staff loved him and he wasn't cookie-cutter like the rest of the rest of the photographers whom we tried. Best investment I've made in the marketing area in a long time.

The second I walked into his studio, I knew I made the right choice. His shots came out amazing and it was the easiest shoot I have ever done. Michael gives you confidence in yourself, and puts you at total ease. It is so easy to trust him, because he is a true artist. I am so lucky to have found him.

Hands down the best headshot session I've ever had. Michael is very patient and takes time to make sure you are looking your best throughout the shoot. He takes a generous amount of photos, because you never know which moment is going to be THE SHOT you're after! With Michael, you'll be sure to get it.

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN NYC!! I am so thrilled to be able to post a review for Michael Benabib. I have been going to Michael's great 5th Avenue studio for the past 5 years. I have my headshots updated yearly -- I'm a very busy commercial actress - and it's so important to have a great current headshot! Michael's studio is relaxing and inviting. His makeup artists and stylists are by far the best I've experienced in the business. Michael is extremely generous in the number of pictures he takes, while most places limit you to a certain number. He is never satisfied unless his client is satisfied. The best part of the experience is that you will look at the photos during the shoot -- great for people who haven't had a lot of time in front of the camera, and great for anyone because you'll always leave with what you want, and you get all the pictures too - nice! The absolute most relaxing, take the stress out of the situation system ever! I have personally recommended Michael to so many people. From Radio ... Show full review

Wonderful experience. Highly recommended Headshot Photographer. I was looking for NEW YORK Headshot Photographers for over a month. I met with a total of 8 different photographers. The moment I walked into Michaels studio he made me feel at home. He spent time getting to know me and asked about the roles I was after. He asked me about my past headshots. He seemed to really care, So I booked a session. When it came to the day of my shoot there was a wonderful makeup artist named lanier who did very natural beautiful make up. The session went very well. We took time after each clothing change to look at the shots we had just shot. This way of shooting helped me alot. The only problem was that there were so many good shots it was hard to choose. I am taking the time to write this because I would like to thank Michael.

I was referred to Michael by a friend who had tried him before. She loved her photos and raved about how fun the photo shoot was. My experience was very similar, he was very professional, the studio is really nice, and he was very enthusiastic about taking my pictures. He gave me feedback during the shoot, showing me the pictures so that I could adjust my hair, posture, make-up etc. He even let his dog out so I could play with him! Just an awesome experience all around!
