Dating profiles
Nine in ten women say personality and style matter as much as anything else — and they form that impression from your photos before you've said a word. Most men's profiles don't come close to showing who they actually are.

Your profile photo should speak for you.
Editorial portrait sessions for men who want images that feel authentic, cinematic, and useful across dating profiles, LinkedIn, personal brand, and press coverage.

The moment between poses — unthought, authentic, that's the one that works.

You're not performing.
You're being seen.
Most photographers tell you where to stand and what to do, and of course I'll guide you and give you spontaneous ideas, but the difference is that I watch for what happens when you stop thinking about where to stand. Those are the instants that feel inevitable.
Before we shoot, we connect. I want to learn how you want to be perceived — on the app, in the pitch, at the conference. This conversation shapes everything: the light, the wardrobe, the frame.
The result isn't a photo session. It's a set of images that work as hard as you do and attract what is meant for you.
Personal brand
Your audience buys into you before they buy into what you offer. Images that feel genuine and considered communicate trust and authenticity — the foundations of any brand worth building.
Press & leadership
LinkedIn, website, company pages — everywhere you show up professionally, your portrait signals how you lead. These are images that communicate authority before you've said a word.

Portraits
Begins with a creative brief, not a consultation. Studio first — controlled light, complete focus. Location second — dimension, energy, the city as context. Shot to read together as a series. For creatives, founders, and figures who understand that image is communication at scale.

We connect
After you've booked your appointment we schedule a conversation. I want to learn how you want to be perceived, the context that matters, what you don't like about photos of yourself, and any concerns you might have about the process or doing your first photoshoot.
I guide you all the way
I'm not going to ask you to pose from a script. I'll direct you actively so you appear natural and at ease while I watch for the instants between poses.
Your selection & professional retouching
Private Pixieset gallery. You select on your own time. Fully retouched finals delivered in high resolution within the week — optimized for print and social media.
What clients say
"Javi's portraits reflect the same values I lead my firm with — professional, effective, and transparent. He understands how to create images that communicate trust and presence on a global stage."
Philip Hordijk — New York
"I've had headshots before. I've never had portraits. Javi sees something in you that most photographers don't look for — and then he captures it. My dating profile response rate went up immediately."
Marco Velasco — Brooklyn
"The session itself was worth it — before I even saw the photos. He makes you feel completely at ease. The images came back and I finally looked like the person I feel like on the inside."
Dean Banks — New York
