justinhoch: Mark it down. @BASEWrestling is going to change the sport. And really, it could change the entire landscape of athletic training, from youth through the Olympic level, for ALL sports. (No pressure. Ha.) What Andy Hrovat (@hrovat84) is teaching at @beatth
justinhoch: Oh, #DestaneGarrick. With six All-American honors, include one national championship, and a 4th-place finish at the Junior Pam Am championships, @19dee_wrestler's on-the-mat credentials are right up there with the best to ever come from New York City. I
justinhoch: I don't think there's anyone who's done more for New York City wrestling than this guy, @MikeTorriero. A long-lost contact who pulled me back into the sport five years ago after I had completely disengaged post-college, Mike runs wrestling programs as a c
justinhoch: Yet another Wingate alum doing great things in college. This time, it's Nyasa Bakker, who followed up a high school career in which she won multiple Mayors Cup titles and was a Body Bar All-American, by becoming the first female to ever compete for the ME
justinhoch: Aaaaaaaaannd we're back. Tyson Palmer is one of the many #Wingate kids who have made wrestling a core part of their lives. This guy is owning SUNY-Potsdam right now. Going into his senior year, it's not enough that he started a wrestling club on campus,
justinhoch: Rosemary Flores. The trailblazer. She was the first NYC wrestler - it mmmor girl )
justinhoch: McZiggy Richards has grown, perhaps as much as any other @beatthestreets kid in my time around the organization. I've seen him be apprehensive and self-conscious about his accent to now have a strong voice of character. I've seen confusion about his pla
justinhoch: @SkylarGrote became the first NJ girl to win Fargo last week. Awesome accomplishment. She was working out with the @usawrestling women's world team ahead of the tournament and we got this shot at @renzogracieacademy. #wrestlingworks #portrait #tough #pl
justinhoch: Marcus King is another @beatthestreets kid doing good things in the world. He graduated in 2014 and spent last year volunteering with BTS and working with kids in an after school program. He's headed to Baruch College in the fall. He had been away from

justinhoch: You think you know someone... Oliver Lopez started wrestling in 2005, as a sophomore at McKee/Staten Island Tech High School on Staten Island. A decade later, he's still majorly involved in so many aspects of the sport and related endeavors, it's hard to
justinhoch: Alexandria Salmos just earned her second All-American honor in Fargo last week with a 3rd place showing at 105 lbs. (she placed 6th at Body Bar Nationals in May). I made this portrait while she was training with the senior women's world team at @renzograc
justinhoch: Barry Hart is one of the many @beatthestreets kids who are now helping out with the next generation. He's served as a coach, a camp counselor, an office assistant, and most importantly, as an example of what is possible when you commit to a positive life
justinhoch: This is the first in a lengthy series of intense wrestling portraits. I'm really excited about these. Jacque Davis is the Head Girls Coach for @BeatTheStreets NYC. She's a graduate of Menlo College and a kickass model for the girls AND boys of Gotham.
justinhoch: Guess what? Headshots aren't just for actors. Professionals need them, too. James Roth partnered with Barry Hoffman (see two days ago) almost 30 years ago to start what is now Hoffman, Roth & Matlin, a boutique firm specializing in insurance and medical

justinhoch: Maybe conventional #headshots don't really capture your essence. Maybe you're cut from a different cloth altogether. And maybe you need something...different. We can certainly do that. As promised, here is @chazzypnewts' Action Hero. Holy cow, so much fu
justinhoch: Need multiple looks? Yeah, we do that. No extra charges, either. #JennaKirk #headshots #actor #comedians #businesscard #knowyourtype #bookit #logo #roles
justinhoch: No photo session is complete without some fun #outtakes. These two pictures were taken 46 seconds apart. Fun it. Nail it. #AdrianKelly #headshots #actors #comedians #businesscard #knowyourtype #bookit #logo
justinhoch: More wonderful makeup work by @JarrettBrandonArtistry. This time with the awesome Amy Carickhoff. #headshots #actors #comedians #businesscard #knowyourtype #bookit #logo #makeup #mua #amyface
justinhoch: Jamie did four or five looks, including this dolled up number with great makeup by Jarrett Seese. Fabulous. #headshots #actors #comedians #businesscard #knowyourtype #bookit #logo
justinhoch: This is my practice son. I've called him that for yeeeaaaaarrs. (He's actually my 7 1/2 years younger brother, Noah/@nahoch.) He's taken my last few headshots, and I always experiment a little bit with lighting situations when we go out to shoot. This o
justinhoch: Who doesn't love an adorable kid? Michael played my son in a tv show about immigrants coming into #EllisIsland and a few months later I took this #headshot. That's "my boy"! #headshots #actors #comedians #businesscard #knowyourtype #bookit #logo

justinhoch: Back in her #NYC days, I had the priviledge of shooting this @rockandrollromantic a couple of times. (This is from 2009, even though she looks pretty much the same.) She's LA now, but she's still #adventurous and #free and gots that sweet #southerncharm.
justinhoch: Charles Parker Newton is one of the funniest people I've ever known. He came to me one day and said two words: Business Pro. And so we made it happen. (Action Hero will be saved for another day.) Check him out on YouTube. I love his Nasty Roommate videos
justinhoch: I love doing character shots. They're so much fun. This guy was such a sweetheart in real life, but man did he look good as an upscale villainous type. Good name for it, too: #SheldonStone Putting the finishing touches on the new brand for headshots! Alm
justinhoch: Another friend I've shot a few times. This guy recently graduated from UCSD's MFA program. Glad he's back in NYC! Just a few more days before I go live with my new headshot brand and pricing model! Also a completely new way of getting headshots done. Es
justinhoch: You have probably heard this big guy's velvety deep voice on a commercial or two and never even known it. You may have seen him in Big Fish on Broadway. Well, he just booked a part in THE WILD PARTY at New York City Center. Check that out. Congrats Ryan A
