NYC Photography Services & Commissions

Art‑driven photography you can actually hire.

I’m Just Gonz, a New York City photographer offering editorial‑quality photography for portraits, headshots, events, boudoir, lifestyle, and travel. Every session blends fine‑art sensibility with documentary honesty so your images feel cinematic and real.

Whether we’re shooting portraits in Brooklyn, covering a wedding in Manhattan, or walking with you through a night market halfway across the world, the goal is the same: images that still breathe years from now.

How I work

  • Conversation first. We start with a short call to understand who you are and what the images are for.

  • Simple, thoughtful planning. We choose locations, timing, and the overall feel—professional, cinematic, hyper‑artistic, or a mix.

  • Calm, directed sessions. I guide when needed and step back when the moment is better left untouched.

  • Fast, careful delivery. Same‑day selects and a full gallery in 48–72 hours for most assignments; rush available when deadlines are tight.

Based in New York. Servicing Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, plus Hudson Valley / Eastchester.

Working worldwide. Contact me now to start planning your next photo shoot.

Boudoir & Intimate Portraits

Fine‑art boudoir photographer in New York City. Rooted in trust, privacy, and real bodies.

My boudoir work is less about performance and more about presence—quiet, cinematic portraits that honor how you move, inhabit space, and exist in your own skin. Think natural light, thoughtful framing, and images that feel like you.

What to expect:

  • A confidential, judgment‑free process with clear boundaries

  • Pre‑session call to discuss comfort levels, styling, and how much (if any) you’d like to share publicly

  • Sessions in a private location—your space, a rented room, or studio

  • Beautifully edited images delivered in a secure, password‑protected gallery

Select images may also live as fine‑art prints, but only with explicit consent. Most boudoir sessions remain entirely private.

Please get in touch with me directly for Boudoir samples, as these photo shoots are kept private due to the intimate nature and to protect privacy.

If you’re curious, Contact Me for a conversation to discuss your vision and goals. Together we can make your dream photo shoot come true.

Lifestyle, Travel & Brand Photography

For visitors and locals who want professional photographs.

NYC is one of the world’s greatest film sets. During a photo walk, we treat the city as our backdrop—side streets, subways, rooftops, and rivers—making portraits and candid frames as we move.

Ideal for:

  • Solo travelers, couples, and families visiting New York

  • Creatives who want cinematic images in real locations

  • “Day in the life” stories for personal archives or social media

A typical session:

  • 60–90 minutes in one or two neighborhoods (SoHo, DUMBO, Central Park, Chinatown, etc.) View Travel & Lifestyle Photo Gallery

  • A mix of lightly directed portraits and observational, street‑style moments

  • 30–50 edited images delivered within 72 hours

  • Also available for nature and sports excursions; hiking, snowboarding, etc.

These sessions double as travel souvenirs and personal art—you’re not just in front of the city; you’re part of it.

Contact Me now to share your travel dates and where you’re staying, and I’ll suggest a route that fits your story and the light.

Fine‑Art Prints & Licensing

Museum‑grade prints and thoughtful editions, delivered worldwide.

Many of my landscape, street, and portrait images are available as fine‑art prints and licensed artwork. From O‘ahu ridge‑lines and New England lighthouses to Amsterdam nights and New York streets, each piece is printed with the same care I’d expect for a gallery wall. View Photo Gallery

  • Collect open and limited‑edition prints in a range of sizes and finishes

  • Order framed work shipped securely to over 50 countries
