Hi, I'm Mike Shavel

For more than 30 years, I’ve focused on photographing people in a way that feels honest, natural, and timeless. My background includes a decade working in New York City as a photographer for The New York Times, where I learned how to quickly connect with people and tell their story through a single image.

Today, I specialize in black-and-white and color portraiture, including individual and corporate headshots, modeling portfolios, environmental portraits, and group events.

Some examples of my work.
