ERAS Headshots for Medical Residency in Long Island – Trust an Experienced, Professional Photographer


When it comes to your ERAS medical residency application, your headshot is one of the first things program directors will see. A polished, professional headshot can make all the difference in setting the right tone and creating a great first impression. As an experienced and highly trusted photographer specializing in ERAS headshots in Long Island, I am here to ensure you look your absolute best.

Why Trust Me for Your ERAS Headshot?

With a background in the arts and formal training in photography, I bring not only technical expertise but also a keen artistic eye to every session. My years of experience as a photographer coupled with working with medical students have given me a deep understanding of how to create headshots that exude confidence, professionalism, and approachability—essential traits for any medical residency applicant. I have an easy, surprising process that will put you at ease immediately. No need to stay up all night practicing your smile. I have this covered!

My reputation speaks for itself. Most of my clients come from word-of-mouth referrals, with past students enthusiastically recommending me to their classmates.

Ellen is an incredibly talented photographer. I would absolutely recommend her. She is professional, patient, and I had a wonderful headshot experience with her. She took the time and efforts to really capture a photo that represented me, while directing me to highlight my best qualities. She did several background changes to find the one that suited me best. The final product was turned around very quickly and was amazing! - Courtney Balgobin

Many of my medical student clients have taken the time to write very thoughtful reviews. You can see for yourself on my Google Business page. I take great pride in my ability to create a comfortable, relaxed environment during shoots, ensuring that even those who feel camera-shy end up with a natural, confident look. And when you get your final images, don’t be surprised if your mother asks for a copy—she’ll want to frame it!

Ellen Wolff is an excellent photographer and highly dedicated to her work. I called her on the phone and she quickly scheduled me for a photoshoot, then emailed me all the details. During our meeting, she spent over an hour to take the photos, then she sat down with me to select a photo for final revision, and finally emailed me the final photo within a few hours. As a medical student who is applying to residency this year, her help in producing a beautiful professional profile photo will immensely help. I would highly recommend her as a photographer for professional photo because she has a great attitude and truly takes pride in her work. - Catherine Wang
