High-impact portraits for executives, entrepreneurs, and creatives in Detroit, West Bloomfield, and Metro Detroit who refuse to look ordinary.
Detroit headshot and personal branding photographer Nico Salgado creates cinematic, dramatic portraits that look like they belong on the cover of a magazine—not a basic company directory. If your current headshot feels flat, stiff, or forgettable, it’s time for an upgrade that finally matches the level you play at.
This isn’t “stand against the wall and smile” photography.
Every session is carefully designed around your brand, industry, and personality so your images work everywhere you show up:
LinkedIn & corporate bio – look like the obvious choice before you ever step into the room.
Websites & sales pages – give your brand a face that feels premium, trustworthy, and confident.
Speaking, media, and PR features – have press-ready portraits on standby when opportunity hits.
Social media & content – a library of on-brand images you can use all year, not just one headshot.
Using cinematic lighting, precise posing, and expression coaching, Nico brings out real confidence—not fake smiles—so you look powerful, approachable, and completely yourself. Whether you’re a CEO, a general manager, a realtor, a physician, or a creative entrepreneur, your session is tailored to how you want to be seen in the Detroit market.
Located in West Bloomfield and serving Metro Detroit headshot and branding clients, Nico Salgado Photography is the studio for people who care about details: the light, the angles, the expression, the brand message behind every frame.
A powerful headshot is more than just a photo—it’s a statement. Nico Salgado Photography specializes in high-quality, professional headshots that help individuals stand out in their industry. Whether for corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, actors, or creatives, every session is designed to capture confidence, approachability, and professionalism.

For headshot and personal-brand clients, Nico offers a session designed to give you the widest range of images you can confidently use across your website, LinkedIn, speaking engagements, press features, and social media. Your session focuses on clean, flattering head-and-shoulders (above-the-chest) portraits, with strong coaching throughout—expression, posture, angles, and small adjustments that make a big difference on camera.
To maximize variety, Nico recommends multiple wardrobe changes (bring more options than you think you’ll need). A mix of jackets, tops, and accessories is ideal—because, as the saying goes, if it’s not there, it can’t be photographed. Sessions can run anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours, depending on your goals, the number of looks you want, and the range of images you’d like to walk away with.
For branding/portrait clients, Nico creates a broader set of imagery by photographing a variety of looks and intentionally varying lighting, backgrounds, and framing—from headshots to three-quarter and full-body portraits, plus lifestyle-style images when needed. These sessions are typically a minimum of 3 hours and are built to give you a complete library of content for marketing and visibility.
Throughout the shoot, you’ll review images with Nico to narrow down the strongest options in real time. Anything you don’t want to purchase can be removed. This review process isn’t just about picking favorites—it’s also a powerful coaching tool that helps you refine what works best and keeps you improving with every set.
At the end of your session, you’ll select your final images from the best of the best. The session fee is $400, and each final image you choose is $200 per image. Each purchased image includes professional retouching and full usage rights for your personal brand and business marketing. Final retouched images are delivered within one week after payment is received in full.
