About Us
Our goal is to capture your event in a stylized, non-intrusive way so you have something tangible to remember it by and/or promote it with.
We've been shooting events since 2006 and are passionate about filmmaking and photography. When not working on events or creating promo videos, we work as headshot photographers in our two studios in Manhattan.
Some of our work has been featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and our films have played in festivals around the country.
We hope to have the opportunity to work with you for your event or promotional project!

Martin Bentsen (Founder)
Photographer & Videographer
Hey, I'm Martin, and I appreciate that you've taken the time to check out City Headshots: Events.
I started shooting weddings as a videographer back in 2006 and eventually transitioned into event photography in 2008. In 2011, I graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with an honors degree in filmmaking, and have been using what I learned there ever since to ensure our videography and photography work is unique, memorable, and engaging for clients. I'll finish up by saying how grateful I am to everyone we've had the opportunity to work with. We've been fortunate to have had our work in The New York Times & The Wall Street Journal, we've been featured on the Rachael Ray Show, and we've shot numerous times for well known companies like American Express, Facebook, and LinkedIn Corp. |
Samantha
Photographer & Videographer
Hi, I'm Sam! I found a love for video and photography at age thirteen and haven't put my camera down since. My interest in capturing subjects in photos soon turned into curiosity about short and feature filmmaking, leading to a degree in both film and rhetoric. Having closely studied interpersonal communication with the technical and creative details of cinematography and still imagery, I've learned the fine art of turning visual ideas into realities.
Over the years I have been fortunate enough to shoot for comedy performers for the Edinburgh and Dublin Fringe Festivals and write, produce and edit shorts for actors' reels. From the conception of a project to the styling & branding of a final show or character type, collaboration is my favorite way to work. I have been lucky enough to have had my work featured in Chicago's playbill and Billboard Magazine, and clients of mine include National Geographic, Twitter, Facebook, and American Express. Besides working at City Headshots, I dabble with all things YouTube and am in preproduction for a stop-motion short. I enjoy tea and music and I'd absolutely love the opportunity to work with you! |
