Many companies' websites and corporate communications use inconsistent employee and executive headshots. Consistent and unique business headshots are a great asset if you want to unify your company's visual and brand identity.

We have collaborated with many businesses to define a custom look that is clean, modern, and fresh for all employees. 

This page contains a few examples of work we've completed for some of our clients. Each has a distinct look and feel that was tailored to them prior to the shoot. Sessions can take place either at our studio or at your location.

Here are 6 reasons

why Corporate Headshots

help to build your personal branding.

1)  Corporate headshots make a FIRST IMPRESSION on your customers

Considering professional photography could be expensive, it can be tempting to do it yourself or hire a low-cost alternative.

However, keep in mind that your photos are your brand. Your photos and website are vital when it comes to establishing a strong first impression on customers.

Top organizations that put effort into how their personnel appear online, and as a result, they are more likely to win.

4) Corporate headshots send a message about WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU STAND FOR

A headshot can be taken in a variety of ways, including different backgrounds, people standing or sitting, professional or casual dress, people smiling or exhibiting a serious expression, and so on.

The 'feel' of a headshot is created by a variety of subtle but important characteristics.

You're not just photographing an employee when you choose the type of corporate images you desire. You're capturing the tone and vibe of your company.

A corporate headshot is a quick and easy method to communicate your company's culture.

6) Corporate headshots can be used to generate your BRAND LOOK

Finally, The truth is that most businesses are indifferent about the branding of headshots. Of course, they want great and professional shots, but the branding elements are never included in their requests.

Some of the companies we've worked with already have a branding scheme in place and expect me to conform to it. Others ask for my assistance in creating one.

Increased and improved branding is becoming particularly crucial in all forms of promotion, both online and offline, so it is reasonable to prioritize this.

Environmental headshot

Many people believe that environmental headshots can only be taken outside, although they may be taken both indoors and outside.

For example, you might utilize your office as the backdrop for your headshot, or you could go outdoors and use the trees and buildings as the backdrop.

Environmental headshots give a level of detail and interest to your portrait that you wouldn't get in a studio.

Portraits in the studio

Having your business photo taken in a studio has a number of benefits, including the ability to select everything from the background color to texture.

Studio photos are great for those working in professions that require a high level of expertise and precision, such as the medical and technical fields.

Team photo

You'll need some time to get everyone together, posed, and ready for the photo for a group shot. Multiple shots will be taken because there will inevitably be someone blinking or not posing properly.

It's critical to achieve a consistent look for group shots, from the colors you wear to how you pose and even the expressions on your faces.

Take the time to properly plan your group shot and seek advice from your photographer if you are unsure.
