First impressions really do count so corporate portraiture seems obvious. Consistent, high quality head shots are a guaranteed way to create the right first impression every single time but how many flakey snapshots are representing the online face of your work team? Winning new contracts is never easy. You need to be conveying an air of accomplishment and trust as soon as a potential client sees your public profile. Does this happen with a poorly lit, last minute selfie? Wether it be a solo shot of the CEO or a team shot of an entire department, don’t let your public image be judged on a rushed and blurry phone image.

Get the Most Out of Your Business Headshot:

  • Talk to us about what background best suits the mood of your company. We can accommodate everything from austere grey to floral and patterned, studio feel or office. Perhaps live surrounding shoots are more appropriate for something like a print room or workshop. Digital background replacement is also an option.
  • What kind of dress code best represents your team. Will it be shirts & ties or corporate logo t-shirts? Have a discussion with your colleagues before hand and make sure everyone is on the same page. Maybe casual is the way to go. There are no rules, just be honest as to how you would like your customers to perceive your business.
  • The average lifespan of a business headshot is about 2 years. A fresh haircut, some makeup and a shave can make all the difference unless you’d like the “rough around the edges” look as your reference photo for the next 24 months – that’s fine too.
  • Don’t hang on to a favourite company headshot for the sake of nostalgia. We all change over the years which is why our passports get updated. Do the same for your work shot so it represents what you look like now and not what you used to look like. The last thing you want to do is mislead your customers.
  • Plan a day or days where the whole team is available. Consistency is key and far easier to work through the whole team in a session. This is usually easier to orchestrate and more importantly saves you time. A single slot usually takes between 5 and 15 minutes per person depending on a few variables. Don’t worry about how small or large the group is. A shoot can be as few as a single person to 200 people in a day.

Don’t forget that we can also cover the rest of your corporate photography needs too – everything from business award ceremonies, reportage, corporate charity and sponsorship events.
