I need to hire a photographer for a tech/fashion shoot in New York City and want to compare portfolios before booking. Is there a reliable site or directory where I can search photographers by location and review sample work to find a style that fits my project?

The Professional Photographers of America maintains a "Find a Photographer" directory of its members: http://www.ppa.com/findaphotographer/
The American Society of Media Photographers also maintains a similar directory: http://asmp.org/find-a-photographer
Both directories allow members to post some representative images and both organizations are established professional organizations with a long history in the industry.

Yes. Two established professional directories were recommended: the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) "Find a Photographer" directory and the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) "Find a Photographer" directory. Both let you search for photographers and view representative portfolio images, which can help you narrow candidates by location and visual style. Because these are long-standing professional organizations, they’re a solid starting point when you want to research working photographers rather than browse random listings. For a tech/fashion shoot, review each photographer’s sample work carefully to confirm their experience matches the look you want before contacting them.
