Professional portraits and headshots for companies and individuals
Don’t underestimate the power of a good corporate headshot to convey within seconds the essence of your staff, brand and ethos to a potential client. Whether you are a small start up, a sole trader or an international corporate we can ensure that you have imagery that truly represents your company.
If you have been tasked with arranging a shoot for your company we can assist from start to finish in advising on style, location, backdrops and format and we can work with your designers to ensure that images are delivered to the required specification for your company website, socials or for print. We can handle all of the logistics including hair, make up and styling and work with your design team to deliver images that are consistent with your company branding and formatted in a way that can be used across the board whether for Linked in profiles or company website.
We also offer personal branding, lifestyle and environmental portraits - you can see more examples of those here.
The Examples below show some of the variety of shots that can be produced within an office environment:
Entire Company Group Portrait
Black and white three quarter length portraits
Natural environmental portraits
What type of portrait do I need?
As you can see from the examples below there is a huge variety of options available to you for your corporate portraits. We will take the time to take a brief from you to discover everything we need to know to recommend a stylistic direction for your shot. This will include what your brand values are, what the images are to be used for (for example company website, company report or social media), how many people need to be captured and the time and space available. We will also consider whether the shots need to be headshot, full length or quarter length - or a variety of these to give you usage options.
Natural light versus studio light?
Our photographers are all highly experienced in working in different lighting conditions. If you have a particularly light filled photogenic office we might recommend a more natural style of photography. If space and light are limited however then we would suggest setting up a mobile studio within your office space or board room. We will provide backdrop and lighting according to the style of photography we decide upon. Lighting set ups can range from a single light source to a much more extensive multi light set up. The lighting may be adjusted for each sitter to accommodate for skin type and colouring to ensure the most flattering final image.
The importance of professional headshot photography
Whether you are a small start up company or an international corporation, the way you present your staff speaks volumes about the dynamic and ethos of your firm. Whether you choose active colour three quarters length portraits, or formal black and white headshots or a more relaxed environmental style images this is your chance to put across the personality of your team in an instant.
Investing in your team with professional pictures will ensure that they feel confident to share these on company websites and corporate brochures, or on email signatures and Linkedin profiles or press releases.
How to Organise a Portrait Session in your office
We usually work with the office manager to set up a portrait session. A sizeable office space will be needed - dependent on whether you need headshots, three quarter length portraits or full length. Depending on the brief we usually would recommend around 20 -30 per day comfortably and encourage your team to come in small groups to help each other relax in front of the camera.
It helps if we can understand upfront how the images will be used - whether on websites, brochures, business cards or press releases. We also want to understand your brand personality.
Your staff will need to know in advance and we will advise on the sort of clothing that photographs well.
Editing and post production of your headshots
We want to ensure that each headshot is finished to the highest quality. After you have selected via a private online gallery (or on the day), our editors will finish each image individually to ensure background colour and consistency, colour balance, cropping and a light skin finish.
