Headshots for Business, Corporate, and LinkedIn Photos

Business and Professional Headshots with Character:

/ / / / / Choose from our wide selection of colours!

What sets your portrait apart ? Does it reflect you on a daily basis ? Does it look and feel like you ?

Beyond wardrobe, one of the best ways to add your personality to the photo is to select your background colour accordingly. Business portrait? Stick with neutrals. Portrait? Stick with shades that have some warmth in it like beige or nutmeg.

Whatever the purpose is, feel free to mention to us all the details and we can suggest the option(s) that works best and why !

Approachable Business Headshots:

/ / / / / Try sitting for a comfortable and natural pose!

In the studio the biggest obstacle we have is to make the photos and posing look natural, and not staged. The inevitable thing is, because in real life there is no situation where we are completely surrounded by a single colour, there always will be an element of “unnatural” that we have to manage. The key is focusing on what tweaks can be made and not seeking what you think is perfection.

In this case, a hunched over seated posture allowed him to rest his hands with ease atop of each other. It’s simple—a comfortable pose will make the subject more comfortable. So if you’re feeling extra nervous in your photoshoot, don’t hesitate to suggest switching things up to some sitting shots for a change.

After you are finished shooting your boringcoughprofessionalcough headshot, try a game changing move by utilizing props in your portrait ! It may seem over the top, but in the modern visual world (that runs on split-second impressions) it’s pivotal to make a splash.

What sets your portrait apart? Does it reflect you on a daily basis? Does it look land feel like you?

Props are objects of comfort, they carry emotional value. Whether it’s a flower for a portrait or a stethoscope for your business profile, why not have a little fun with it ?

Toronto Photography Studio for Headshots & Portrait

Professional Acting Headshots in the Studio:

/ / / / /

Here’s an example of a photoshoot whereby our client was interested in having an image she could use for an acting headshot as well as one for an online profile picture.
We tend to shoot our portraits loosely so that we have the option to crop it how we want in post production. The below image is our 8x10 (standard crop for acting headshots) which frames a bit wide and short, making the face the feature of the photo.

Don’t be alarmed if we chop part of your head off for stylistic purposes. In fact—actors walk around half headless all the time ! But I bet you would never notice that detail if you were looking at someone else’s headshot.

Business and Corporate Studio Headshots

/ / / / / the white wall

We’ve definitely noticed that people tend to trash talk white backgrounds for corporate headshots. However what they do not know is the flexibility white can offer when edited and lit tastefully. We don’t blow out the background and make it super bright like a cheeky stock photo.

Instead, we bounce a soft light in the corner to add subtle dimension that you can’t even see, but can surely feel. To top things off we add a tint to our portraits, which in this case swayed warmer rather than cooler.

Corporate Business Headshots on Location:

/ / / / / Let us bring the lights and action to you !

A great tip we have for your corporate headshots is to go environmental ! Think about the spaces you interact with on a daily basis, the office courtyard, that neat textured wall in the lobby. In this portrait session, we had our subject arrange the shoot at his friend’s office that happened to have a cool lounge area.

Please note that due to set up and lighting time, we currently offer on location services for our Deluxe Package only, which includes 7 final edited images, a 1.5 hour session, and unlimited outfit changes.

/ / / / / Professional and Painless !

We often get people visiting the studio who have never had a professional photoshoot before. I would go so far to say it’s well over half of the clients that are brand new to the experience.

The most common misconception people often have is thinking they need to be perfect in every shot. We see it way too often that people become over critical when it comes to their portrait.

The best thing to do is simply put aside those thoughts and feelings, and keep shooting. With a little bit of time, everyone will settle down. Thankfully we time our photoshoot to include viewing breaks to help you visualize the outcome of your headshot.
