About Me
I’m Raj Belani — a Queens-based photographer with over 20 years of experience in high-end commercial photography.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with brands, executives, and creatives to produce polished, intentional imagery that feels elevated and refined. My background in commercial photography trained me to obsess over lighting, composition, and detail — the small things that make an image feel premium.
But what truly shapes my approach to portraiture is something unexpected.
I’m also a stand-up comedian.
​
Spending years on stage has taught me how to read a room, understand subtle emotional shifts, and recognize when someone is feeling confident — or when they need reassurance. That awareness translates directly into my photography. I know how vulnerable being in front of a camera can feel, and
I know how to guide you through it.
The result?
Headshots and portraits that feel natural, confident, and genuinely you.
Whether you're updating your professional image, building a personal brand, or creating commercial visuals, my goal is simple: create images that feel authentic, elevated, and emotionally honest.
Based in Queens, New York, I specialize in studio headshots, portraits, and commercial photography designed to make an impact.
