I’m Shane Samuels - Marine veteran, retired NYPD officer, and a corporate and small business branding photographer serving Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess County.
I built Shane’s Focus with one purpose:
to help businesses present themselves with clarity, confidence, and professionalism.
My background in the Marine Corps and law enforcement taught me discipline, precision, and how to connect with people from all walks of life. Those same skills shape the way I approach photography:
• calm direction
• attention to detail
• reading expression
• creating a genuine presence in front of the camera
Today, I specialize in clean, modern, human-centered photography for:
• corporate teams
• executive leaders
• small business owners
• medical, fitness, and creative professionals
• veteran-owned companies
• entrepreneurs who are the face of their brand
My work blends portraiture, documentary storytelling, and cinematic commercial lighting to create visuals that look polished, authentic, and intentional. Every business has a story, and my goal is to translate that story into images that build trust and elevate your brand across your website, LinkedIn, and all marketing channels.
Whether I’m creating a single headshot or a full brand identity campaign, I deliver photography that reflects strength, professionalism, and a real human connection.
Your business deserves visuals that make people stop, notice, and trust.
Let’s create the images that bring your brand to life.“Photography allows me to see people and businesses from new perspectives. It gives me the ability to tell their story with clarity, purpose, and a creative vision that elevates how they are seen.”
