"Dillon Heape is a brilliant photographer. I just got my headshots and they’re the best shots I’ve ever had. It was a super safe, comfortable, fun experience (and I usually hate taking pictures). I’ve never had headshots that actually captured me fully and these do that."

Hi! I'm Dillon.

I am a genderqueer photographer, actor, musician, writer, and director based in New York City / Lenapehoking. My pronouns are they/them.


My training and background are in performance (I have an MFA in Acting from the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco), so my approach to photography is based in human storytelling. The guiding principle of my portraiture project is helping my subjects feel comfortable, present, and fully themselves in front of the camera. I know how vulnerable it can feel to be photographed, so I am on a personal mission to make my shoots as collaborative, full of breath, and fun as possible! I shoot headshots and portraits under both studio and natural light at my photography studio in the vibrant, waterfront creative hub of Industry City, Brooklyn.


Take a look around my site to see the different photography services I offer, and please reach out if you would like to work with me! I am as eager to collaborate on creative lifestyle portraiture as I am on good, ol'-fashioned headshots.


You will also find tidbits of my other creative endeavors: my acting résumé, singing clips, and links to my writing and directing projects. Thank you so much for visiting, and I hope to hear from you soon!
