Julianna McGuirl (she/her)

Hey! I'm Julianna, and I’m a proud Asian American woman and NYC headshot photographer. I am a graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a degree in Drama. During my career beginnings, I had the opportunity to work on Season 45 of Saturday Night Live, as well as work under a multitude of NYC photographers. I have worked photography for The Broadway Collective, Broadway’s Inspirational Voices, The Miranda Family Fellowship, and currently work with various artists and actors for their creative endeavors in my very own photo studio in Chelsea, Manhattan.

When I am not working, I am spending time with my Persian kittens named Cornelia and Bowery, eating at a new restaurant with my best friends, visiting my beautiful mother at home, sippin’ cocktails at a speakeasy, or taking acting classes.

Headshots are your power…

We cannot decide who a casting director chooses for that project you were in final callback for. We cannot control what shows they choose to do this season at the regional theatre you usually book every summer. We cannot decide that the kid in your class who never really even tried in school keeps booking roles left and right. But what we can decide is how we choose to navigate our careers. This is exciting for you. I want you to have fun with this and let this be a token of freedom and authority on your career. Once you have the clear idea of what you want to achieve, the rest is a celebration of YOU. When you receive these photos, not only will they visually showcase what roles you can play, but they will also show true to who you are, that when your friends and family finally get to see the results, they recognize your soul. We will stand on some good business. We want you to be so beyond booked and busy.

The Studio

My 950 sq. ft. photo studio is located in Chelsea, Manhattan, at the convenience of most subway stops and parking garages in the area. The studio has a place to hang your clothes, a steamer, a makeup table for you and the HMUA artist, and lots of room to take photos.
