Good business headshot photography says a lot about your company. A professional headshot sets you apart from your competition. It shows you as a working professional committed to offering the best service to your customers.
There is no substitute for a professional actor headshot photo. I will work with you to get the right angle, best light, bring across the persona you want to sell, and give you a variety of options that will all be great.
If for example you need a simple headshot photo for your LinkedIn profile image, you are probably best to go for my 'Natural' option.
As I am only photographing you and not a team of people, I don't need to worry about your image matching exactly the same style as another team member.
If you have a lot of staff, you may have a lot of headshot photos of your staff taken now, but at a later date no doubt you will need to update them.
Having the photos taken under more controlled conditions will better allow for consistency when you add more staff photos later to those already taken.
Taken at my home
Simple lighting setup and one photo included which you can choose yourself.
Additional images £35 each.
A selection of images will be provided. Additional touch up requests are charged at £50 per hour.
Headshots taken under natural light require little to no set up time, I simply need a good location for the photographs to be taken against.
(Minimum £200 total)
The original background remains in the photo. The photo will be edited to look its best for tone and colour. Additional touch up requests are charged at £50 per hour.
*if the total is below £200, a lighting setup fee is included to bring the total to a minimum of £200.
High turnover of staff?
If after getting staff photos taken you need to again update your staff photos, I can do this for the same price but the minimum spend would instead be £100
(Minimum £200 total)
The original background is removed. The new background will either be pure white, a colour of your choice; or transparent so you can place the person on any background you wish.
Normal tone and colour editing will be applied as with the standard option. Additional touch up requests are charged at £50 per hour.
*if the total is below £200, a lighting setup fee is included to bring the total to a minimum of £200.
Drop me an email with your preferred date, your location, how many staff, and whether you prefer a natural background or a uniform white or coloured background with studio lighting.
Generally it is easier if I come to you, and there is no charge for this if within a 25 mile radius (a reasonable fee is added when I travel a little further).
If you need a pure white, or very controlled uniform colour background, this will require studio lighting. In this case it takes me 60-90 minutes to set up lights and then each staff photo, a minute or two.
If a solid background colour and controlled lighting is not required, the photos can be taken in an environmental setting such as in front of the building, in front of a sign or reception etc.
In this case, I just need about 10 minutes to find a suitable spot, and then each staff headshot will take a minute or less.
Yes. In this instance I would need to control the lighting and background for this, and so would set up studio lighting. This takes about an hour before I start taking the photos and I need a clear space of around 4m squared.
Even though you may already have a dress code in your workplace, it's a good idea to remind staff of this for the day of the shoot. If there isn't a set uniform, maybe ask staff not to wear something that might stand out drastically from everyone else.
Also be careful not to wear any branded clothing with an old logo, if a jacket is to be worn, everyone should have theirs that day, make sure ties are straight, jewellery abides by your company rules, and hair is tied back (if this is a matter of safety or corporate image in the workplace).
Photos taken under natural lighting are charged by the hour with a selection of photos supplied to you. Headshot photography that requires studio lighting under more controlled conditions is priced per photo.
I aim for within 24-48 hours.
Adaptavist, a software technology company, contacted me from their London office asking me about staff photography for their business. There were 80 employees to photograph, and all needed their headshot taken on a specific date.
Naturally it is difficult to get everyone together on the same day what with busy business schedules, so it was important that I was able to get all the headshot photography done in one go.
London isn’t exactly down the road for me, but a rate was agreed and plans were made. This involved a 4:30am wake up for me and as it turned out, due to terrible London traffic (mostly 1st and 2nd gear!), a 6 hour journey to Adaptavist’s new London office in Islington.
Setup for the headshot photography took about an hour and then each person’s name was written on a list, and ticked off as we went. The amount of time business headshot photography takes is dependent on if the client has very specific requirements and the availability of the staff at the time of the shoot. In this instance all the staff were onsite all day and I was able to take the headshots quickly.
It took around a minute for each headshot with minimal adjustment to lighting in between photos (due to differences in height). I gave Adaptavist a choice of two background tones, but essentially pretty much any background colour could be chosen as long as notice is given before the photo shoot.
If you require business headshot photography for your company, I’d be happy to help. Lighting can be adjusted to suit your requirements and I can capture a relaxed fresh look or a more corporate feel depending on your requirements.
Hannah, one of the owners of Rock House Dental Practice in Wells, contacted me about her need for photography. She was in the process of launching a new website and needed photos of her dental staff as well as the facilities of the dental practice.
Hannah and I negotiated a day that would best suit our timetables. The surgery would be running as normal that day so I needed to fit the staff photos and building photography around her patients.
I was first shown around the different rooms of the surgery. I had already asked Hannah to inform her patients that they may appear in photos and if they did not wish to participate they should let her know.
After taking some photos around the dental practice, including some shots of the waiting room with patients in situ, it was time to complete the photos of the staff.
Due to the small size of the rooms at the dental practice and staff dealing with patients as normal, we picked a time of the day where the most employees were available at once for their staff photo, and then by the time I had photographed them, more were available so I was able to successfully photograph all of them.
For flexibility and space reasons, the staff photos were captured in front of the dental practice, as well as a group photo of all staff. I had already taken photos of the exterior of the practice when I first arrived.
The whole shoot went really well and you can see many of my photos on the Rock House Dental Practice website.
