Corporate and Business Portrait Photography

Professional Portrait and Headshots:

/ / / / / the go to Linkedin background

If you’re in search of a new job and have no idea which company you will be working for, we have the background just for you! The most sensible background to pick would definitely be either the off white or light grey. The reason being that these two shades are most commonly seen in the corporate headshots world as they are easy for photographers to imitate and create visual consistency on the website.

Of course there are companies that offer something unique in the background department for their staff headshots. We suggest playing it safe and going for white or grey in anticipation that the company you are applying for may already see your LinkedIn headshot as ready to go for their website!

Professional Photos and Portrait for Talent Agencies:

If you’re new to the industry or just looking to get back into it, stop by our studio for some quick updated headshots! The most important thing to remember when submitting your images is that it should be current to what you look like now. For women the makeup should be light or non existent as much a possible.

When dressing for your submission photos, you should aim to present yourself as a clean base, a blank page for agencies and clients to imagine you however they want. Although you may like the photos better with your personality shining through, it does the agency no favours and in fact could even work against you by type casting yourself to clients.

Professional Business Headshots and Portrait

Corporate Portrait and Business Photos:

/ / / / / looking “off camera”

As an alternative to the typical headshot, try looking off camera from time to time! This pose is light and candid, yet still very professional. As it turns out, direct eye contact is not always necessary for a great portrait! At the end of the day no matter what the pose, it all boils down to your expression being natural.

“How do I smile naturally for my portrait?” It’s simple, stop overthinking and let us take care of all the technical details. The best mindset for a photoshoot is to literally be in the moment and literally stop thinking about what you look like. Of course we don’t want you to be left the dark, so we will take several viewing breaks whereby you can check your progress on our large monitor.

Tyler came into the studio to get some acting headshots done, and brought with him a variety of clothing options. This particular shirt was an item he purchased not exactly for the shoot, but with the shoot in mind. It even had the tag still on it!

Not only did he go home that day with a great photo, but a great shirt as well! We recommend taking your time to plan the little for your photoshoot, such as a getting a fresh haircut, buying a new pair of glasses, or simply giving your wardrobe an update.

Headshots and Portrait for Dental Office:

/ / / / / staff picture day!

We love field trips on location for staff headshots! In a matter of minutes, we can assemble our lights in the corner of your work space and build a mini photoshoot set. This time we visited on location to a dental office where by we brought our white background to shoot against.

It’s not to say the atmosphere of their office wasn’t beautiful (it honestly was one of the nicer offices we’ve been to), yet the portraits we took needed to match the ones currently on their website. They were done by another photographer against a white background, so we mimicked the same style to keep everything consistent.

The images we took were to be used on her website to attract new clientele.

In this photo, we captured the natural body language in a way that replicates how our client would sit during one of her psychotherapy sessions, open and trustworthy. We recommend showing your hands in the photo if you’re looking to emphasize your personable nature.

/ / / / / birthday portrait!

Although we do shoot a lot of corporate headshots for LinkedIn (probably due to our proximity to the financial district), there are the times where we feel like we hit a niche season. The theme of the niche this time? Birthday portraits!

Although in general it’s not that odd of a request to have people interested in capturing themselves as they are, at this point in life, with out using the selfie mode on their cellphone.

The benefit of a birthday portrait is that it can be printed out and framed as a gift, which doubles as a nice memory for your loved ones.
