Elite Studios

Portrait sessions, headshots, and event coverage all fit under the same lens at Elite Studios. The photographer handles everything from corporate branding to milestone celebrations, offering both studio setups and on-location shoots across Manhattan. On-site printing and digital retouching round out the service list, making it a practical choice for clients who need polished results without extra legwork. Tudor City’s elevated perch provides a quiet counterpoint to the usual Midtown bustle, and the address—25 Tudor City Pl Apt 1711, New York, NY 10017—places the studio steps from Grand Central and the East River esplanade. Booking a slot is as simple as dialing (800) 679-2001; the line answers quickly, and the team can walk you through available dates and package options. While the building itself is residential, the neighborhood’s mix of pre-war towers and pocket parks offers plenty of backdrops for outdoor shoots. For directions, pull up the map—it’s the kind of spot you’ll want to pin before the shoot so you’re not circling the block on the day.

Anyone who’s tried to coordinate a photoshoot in the city knows how rare it is to find a studio that’s both central and unhurried. Elite Studios manages that balance, tucked into a corner of Midtown where the sidewalks don’t feel like obstacle courses. The phone number—(800) 679-2001—connects directly to the scheduling desk, so you can sort out timing without playing phone tag. No need to guess which elevator bank leads to the right floor; the map link above will drop you at the doorstep. If you’re coming from the east side, the walk through Tudor City’s private gardens is a nice way to shake off pre-session nerves.
