Curtis Holbrook
"I've been a New York City Photographer for over fifteen-years and a Broadway actor for over twenty. Headshot photography just sort of found me: After a string of Broadway show closings, I decided to enroll at Photo Manhattan to fill my time. Our final assignment was self-portraits and they came out looking like amazing headshots- headshots that I ended up using as an actor for years and booked me a ton of work! From there, I just became obsessed with photography and basically a headshot fanatic/maniac. My mission is to give you the best shot you've ever had."

"I've been a Broadway actor for over fifteen-years now and just before I started a three-year run in Kinky Boots on Broadway, I decided to take a Makeup Artistry course at Chic Studios. I already loved makeup and wanted to start free-lancing between gigs. It was right around that time that I met Curtis and we started Curtis & Cort Photography. We created our business together before we were even engaged- I guess we had some serious faith it would work out! I never got around to free-lancing because we loved working together with actors so much. We like to say that Curtis runs the camera, but I run the business :). I'm also that lady you're talking to if you contact us!
Jesse JP Johnson
(Makeup & Hair)
"Hey there! I'm Jesse, and I’m lucky to have had a career that lets me explore so many different sides of the arts. Most recently, I got to record vocals for the highly anticipated Wicked movie- it was amazing to be part of something so iconic. I grew up surrounded by creativity—my mom was a hairstylist, so I was always around hair and makeup. That influence definitely shaped me, and I think it's where my attention to detail and artistry first came from.
On stage, you might know me as Boq from Wicked, which I’ve had the privilege of performing both on Broadway and during the 1st National Tour. I’ve also been lucky enough to perform in a bunch of other amazing shows, including SpongeBob SquarePants (Broadway), Glory Days (Broadway), Xanadu (Broadway), 9 to 5 (1st National Tour), Grease (1st National Tour), Altar Boyz (Off-Broadway and 1st National Tour), and Oklahoma! (1st National Tour). Whether I’m performing live, recording in the studio, or diving into the behind-the-scenes world of styling, I feel grateful for every opportunity to be part of such a vibrant, creative industry."
