Corporate Headshots.

Is your company ‘About me’ page looking a bit old hat and tired? Could it be turning prospective clients off? If the answer to either of these questions is ‘yes’, then you probably need some corporate headshots. These days we’re all used to seeing who the company members are and with that we get an idea of the team’s ethos and spirit.

It’s no good now to have individual headshots of each person taken in different spots around the world or with their iPhone against their white walls – this no longer looks professional and the sense of cohesion with a company can get lost. Having a great ‘About Us’ page really shows the professionalism and character of the company and reinforces your company’s values. A business is made up of people, so it makes perfect sense to showcase your members in the best possible light. That’s where corporate headshots come in.

I bring the studio to you.

Whether it’s shooting all the members of a large law firm or a small PR company in Soho, there’s no need for any of you to budge an inch or trudge to the other side of town. I bring my small portable studio along to set up in the corner and get some great shots of each member – all uniform and consistent to place together in a great gallery on the webbie. The process of getting impressive corporate headshots is never as scary as everyone thinks it’ll be and I make very sure that everyone is happy with their photos before moving onto their colleagues.

Group shots

Make the most of having a photographer at your office and get some group shots and ‘in action’ pics to show you all in your workplace. We can discuss what you’d like to convey in these prior to the shoot.

Keeping it consistent

To make it all stay consistent and looking great, whenever there are any newbies to the team they can always come to my studio near to Finsbury Park to get theirs taken with the same backdrop – saves the hassle for you of me coming in again and also works out to be more economical. If you’d rather a more corporate background to the portraits but you’d like to come to me we can use some wonderful “office” backdrops that look very real and are simple and easy to incorporate. No need for anyone to actually be in an office these days – even for their corporate headshot shoots!

Before the shoot.

Prior to the scheduled corporate photoshoot, we’ll discuss what kind of impression of your business you want to convey. Whether it’s more relaxed, or a bit more serious, I can advise on what to wear, the colour scheme and the general ‘look’ that would work best for your company. I love to work around ideas you may have for your company photoshoot – whether you want to use the office as the backdrop, a backdrop I bring or an outside space such as a nearby park.

What happens during the shoot?

As well as the all-important corporate headshots, I’ll take group shots as well – employees and partners engaged in a meeting perhaps, or whatever combination of groups you like. These types of business photos are perfect for newsletters, annual reports, and any other marketing campaign.

Believe me, it really is painless – and from what most of my clients say – it’s actually really good fun! I promise your team will all be laughing and smiling away. Serious, stuffy corporate headshots of non-smiling staff are a thing of the past!

Portrait Photography.

These days it’s not enough to have wonderful text and reviews on your website, those clients need to be drawn in by the prospect of working with YOU and that can only happen when there’s a great profile picture of someone they feel they’ll be comfortable with. Someone who appears to be professional yet personable with a touch of warmth and friendliness thrown in there too.

Apart from making sure my clients look gorgeous, my talents lie in making sure we get the ‘essence’ of you – the character and personality behind  your business – not just a one-dimensional face staring out from the page. My business headshot shoots are informal and fun creating the perfect atmosphere for some great, relaxed headshots of you being you on a very good day! 

And no need to worry about the background of your portraits not looking corporate enough if you work from home but still want to appear ‘officey’ – I have some amazing backdrops here to pop behind you. Not only are they very realistic but your ‘office’ probably looks more snazzy than any normal one you could hire for the day! 😉

A bit of extra help.

If you fancy having a treat and being made to feel extra confident and gorgeous we can also book in one of my wonderful make-up artists to work a little of their magic before sitting in front of the camera. This is often a lovely thing to do. Apart from making you feel lovely, it’s a lot of fun. There will also be time for a great bit of nattering (let alone nosing through all the products laid out on my kitchen table).

Many of my clients like to have their hair done before the shoot . We’re very lucky here in Crouch End as we have a ridiculous amount of wonderful hairdressers to choose from, all literally at the end of my road.

What actually happens at the shoot?

The Headshot Package 

This is the most popular package. To begin with we’ll have a chat to get a good idea of who you are, what your business is about and how best to show you and your brand.  Once we’ve got a good idea we put down our cups of coffee and start on the shoot. I take up to around 200 shots of you in a variety of different outfits and with changes of backdrops and backgrounds ensuring you not only have a great choice afterwards but also lots of different headshots for use over the next few years.

A couple of days after the shoot I will send you a watermarked contact sheet of all the images for your perusal.  From this, you then choose five of your favourites for me to re-touch, beautify and make resolution perfect before sending them over to you in high resolution for all your printing and online needs. Your favourites can be edited for you in black and white as well as colour if required.

The Ultra Basic Quick Headshot package 

This shoot is suitable for a company member who just needs a basic shot against a plain backdrop in order to be added to the company website.  It’s not recommended for anyone with their own website looking to get a variety of shots to choose from and with enough time to get the perfect pic! 

It’s a quickie with a handful of images to choose from resulting in one retouched digital image. 

Headshot and branding shoot on location or at your workplace 

Sometimes just getting a headshot isn’t quite enough. For some professions or businesses it really helps to have some branding shots taken too. Some ‘action’ shots of you at work, you out and about, you with your dog – whatever it is that’ll show that little bit more of you and give your business a little more of an identity online.

We all know how time-consuming it can be to keep up with our social media content – and know only too well how important images are to engage our followers. With this package you’ll take away enough content to last you ages as well as some wonderful shots for your websites and any other editorial needs.

In this case, depending on what we feel is the right way to go for you we can either meet out on location, at your workplace or still at my home studio – or a mixture of all of the above. We’ll have a good chat beforehand and come up with a nifty plan before meeting up and getting you a wonderful set of photos to enhance your business for years to come.
