New York Headshot Photographer

1. My Purpose My Purpose in in Being A Being A New York New York Headshot Photographer Headshot Photographer By Todd Estrin By Todd Estrin of of Todd Estrin Photography Todd Estrin Photography ====::==== How does one find purpose in life? This question has followed, and at times haunted me in every phase of my life. If asked, I would define myself as a headshot photographer. I love and am extremely grateful for this job; however this limiting title is not where I find purpose. To answer this question I must hit pause and rewind. 14 years ago I began my journey as an actor. Acting was my love. For three full years I filled every minute of my life with art. I attending theater, I went to museums, I watched movies that challenged my beliefs, I wrote poetry, I attending classes to help me express myself fuller. I was hungry to learn what it meant to be human. I craved art and anything that expressed life. Acting was how I defined myself, but my purpose was not to act, it was to connect and fill myself with something deeper, something larger than me. I couldn’t then, and today still cannot clearly define what “purpose” is. I do not know if the thing I am trying to describe

2. has tangible properties. I do know though when I am connected to this purpose and when I am not. It is an unquestionable experience that lives in my body. Six years ago I woke up to realize something was missing. After a series of life challenges and unmet expectations I reached a point in my life where although I still defined myself as an actor something was missing. I lost connection to that undefined spirit of purpose. I searched in many ways to reconnect. I invested my time and money into therapy, yoga, meditation, alternative classes and spiritual practices. During that time my purpose changed form. It was no longer something I experienced; it became something I was in pursuit of. One year ago I went to Antananarivo Madagascar. I spent two months working as a teaching artist with a non-profit organization. I worked with a group of kids, teaching them theater and taking their photographs. Every day I would hear, “Toddy photo.” I fell in love with each one of them. At the time I was not aware, but something was fundamentally changing in me during those two months. I was reconnecting to purpose. Today I work with actors to take their headshots. What I do though is far more important than taking a picture. I help each of my clients celebrate who they are. Not who they think they need to be or who they wished they were; who they are. I love my job but more importantly I love connecting to people and helping them embraces and express their love for themselves.
