Cory Ross & 1985Photos
I am a New Jersey and New York–based portrait photographer and videographer with a passion for creating meaningful visual stories through my work. Drawing inspiration from creatives such as Manny Ortiz, Photomeike, FroKnowsPhoto, John Singleton, and Spike Lee, I strive to capture images and visuals that feel intentional, authentic, cinematic, and emotionally grounded.
With years of experience behind the camera, I have developed a strong eye for detail and a deep appreciation for finding beauty in everyday moments. My work spans portraits, events, sports, lifestyle content, and commercial videography. Throughout my journey, I have had the opportunity to work with celebrities, major corporations, professional sports organizations, and fitness brands, including projects connected to the NBA, WNBA, NFL, and other respected names in the industry.
My approach to photography and videography blends creativity, emotion, and authenticity. I enjoy experimenting with lighting, composition, movement, and storytelling techniques to create visuals that are not only compelling, but also true to the essence of the subject. Whether I am capturing a heartfelt portrait, a powerful sports moment, a brand campaign, or a special celebration, my goal is always to preserve moments in a way that feels timeless and genuine.
Beyond the final images and videos, I take pride in the full experience I bring to every booking. My clients not only appreciate the quality of my work, but also the energy, professionalism, and positive atmosphere I bring to each session. Capturing raw emotion, genuine laughter, quiet confidence, and meaningful expression is what continues to drive my passion for visual storytelling.
As I continue to grow in my craft, I invite you to join me on my journey toward becoming a master photographer and filmmaker.
