Niel Galen

This is a passion for me. Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm interested in and shoot a wide variety of genres. I do have a particular fondness for fine art nudes and glamour/fashion and as my friend Lee says, "Sexy Glam."

Would you like to work with me on your own project? Whether it's boudoir, glamour, fashion or simply exquisite head shots I will create fantastic images that will help you to get your message out, whether it's editorial, creative or advertising YOU the brand.
My rates are reasonable and negotiable based on the scope of the project. If you're on a budget I'm happy to work with you. Don't be afraid to ask.

I can locate studio space in NJ or NY or come to you....for locations greater than 100 miles from NYC travel and accommodations expenses will be added to the cost of the shoot. A deposit will be required at the time of booking to cover travel.

PLEASE Message me here or email me: niel@nielgalenphotographic.com


Professionally, I am a Lighting designer for Broadcast Television. I work in NY and around the globe for major broadcasters on a variety of programs.
My training is in theatre, opera, dance and film and I have worked professionally in NY, regionally and toured internationally. In a past life I was an associate at a commercial photo studio doing portraits, weddings and dark room work! Good old days gone by.

That's my day gig. It pays the bills and supports this habit! My schedule is not always mine to control. If our plans are disrupted because of work events outside my control I will strive to re-schedule if at all possible and make sure all parties are
satisfied with the outcome. Your time is as important as mine and I fully understand the impact of lost work.



Icky Fine Print:

*TFPs*
I've changed my policy on TFPs... I don't do TFP shoots. And here's why...
I am happy to pay the models that I approach to work (and some that find me.). This is a business and I appreciate that. If you'd like to hire me, great! I would love to help you out. Please See above regarding rates, etc.

If I pay you for a shoot, I will give you some images....not all. Sometimes I will ask for your choices when I am torn. Other times it will be photog's choice. I put images up as full sized jpegs and reduced size (Model Mayhem friendly size jpegs) in Dropbox for your use. I request models sign a standard professional release for all shoots. I grant models limited rights to use the finished images I provide for their portfolios, personal websites, FB, Tumblr, FLickr, Self promotion, etc. as long as my watermark is left on the image. All other rights remain the photographers. If someone wishes to buy a print or publish images for a fee than I will split any profits 50/50 with model. I request same consideration in return. I am happy to provide high resolution un watermarked images for a negotiated fee.


Thanks for looking at my page. I hope to work with you soon!
