Ramon Trotman is a portrait photographer based in New Jersey, known for creating headshots and editorial portraits that feel natural, intentional, and unmistakably personal. His work is grounded in a deep respect for the people he photographs. He helps professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives show up with confidence and clarity in front of the camera.
His style leans toward clean, modern, and quietly powerful. Ramon creates imagery that opens doors and reshapes the way clients see themselves. His sessions are calm and collaborative, built on trust, expert direction, and a commitment to bringing out real presence and personality.
Before photography, Ramon spent 25 years in the IT world. That experience sharpened his sense of precision, problem-solving, and professionalism. Today, those same values drive his portrait work and bring a thoughtful balance of creativity and purpose to each session.
Clients often say they didn’t just get a great headshot, they felt seen. That’s the goal. Whether you're updating your brand, stepping into a new chapter, or ready to be captured in your best light, Ramon brings the skill, patience, and vision to help you show up as your most impactful self.
Outside the studio, he’s a proud nerd, gamer, family man, and BBQ enthusiast. For him, great portraits like great brisket, come from time, intention, and the right kind of fire.
The first step to working together is starting the conversation.

You can start by filling out the contact form on this page. Once I receive your inquiry, I’ll be in touch to learn more about your needs and guide you through the next steps within 24 hours. From there, we’ll select a session type, set a date, and secure your booking with a retainer.

I specialize in professional headshots, personal branding sessions, beauty and editorial portraits, and corporate team photography. Whether you’re an individual looking to elevate your online presence or a company refreshing your team’s image, we’ll tailor the session to align with your goals and brand.
How much do your sessions cost, and what’s included?
Every session is tailored to your specific goals, whether you're looking for a simple headshot update or a full personal branding experience. Because each project is unique, pricing is customized based on the scope, location, and final deliverables. After a brief consultation, I’ll provide a quote that reflects exactly what you need. You’ll know upfront what’s included with no surprises.
Where do the sessions take place?
Sessions can be held in my studio, on-location, or at your office, depending on your needs. I also travel for corporate team shoots or branding sessions with a specific setting in mind. We’ll choose a location that best supports your vision.
How should I prepare for my shoot?
Once you’re booked, I’ll provide you with a preparation guide that covers everything from wardrobe suggestions to grooming tips. We’ll also discuss your goals during a consultation so you feel confident and prepared walking into your session.
Do you help with posing? I’m not photogenic.
Absolutely. You don’t need to know how to pose, I’ll direct you every step of the way. Most of my clients aren’t professional models, and it’s my job to help you look natural, confident, and camera-ready. You’re in good hands.
When will I receive my final images?
Final images are delivered through a professional online gallery that’s easy to view, download, and share. Turnaround time is typically 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the session type and the number of images selected. If you’re working with a tight deadline, rush delivery is available upon request. Just let me know your timeline, and we’ll make sure everything is delivered when you need it.
Do you offer hair and makeup?
Yes, professional hair and makeup can be added to your session. I work with talented artists who understand how to enhance your look for camera without overdoing it. I’m happy to coordinate this for you during the booking process.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Life happens. If you need to reschedule, please give as much notice as possible. Retainers are non-refundable, but they can be applied to a new date if rescheduled within the allowed time frame. Full details are provided in the session agreement before booking.
