Professional Portrait Photography
Corporate portrait photography will help to humanise the company. When looking for the ideal headshot, it’s important to take a few things under consideration. These images will help to convey who you are as a person, what your personality is, what you are passionate about, how well you do your job, and how striking is your brand or image. Brand recognition is increased when using cohesive corporate headshots and a high level of organization will be inferred. It is important to create a good first impression through the use of headshots that are appropriate to the type of company. I’m sure you’ve seen your fair share of stock photos of attractive people in meetings or shaking hands or laughing at whatever they’re looking at together on a computer screen.
Did you ever think you were getting a real and sincere introduction to the company?
Of course not This may seem like a lot of information to get from a single photograph, but as the old saying goes, the eyes are the gateway to the soul. The most important part of any headshot is the eyes, so make sure they’re crisp, sharp and dynamic. Capturing the eyes well will establish a strong connection between the photograph and the viewer. A good way to get “fresh eyes” is to ask a subject to look away and then back into the lens right as you take the shot.
Communication and thorough brief is a key to a successful photo session. So make sure whatever you want to convey is well designed, planned, and represented.

So make sure whatever you want to convey is well designed, planned, and represented. If the photograph is for a Linkedin profile, it will require a simple background and more head, given the limited dimensions of the site and if it is for a book cover or a newspaper article, then ensure that you communicate this to your portrait photographer as your personality or your brand could be shot in a way that makes better use of more space – a set of environmental or business portraits might be a better way to go. Perhaps the publication needs extra space to one side for accompanying text- this will all need to be planned for by the photographer when framing you in the picture. Real headshots of real people add up to a practical introduction. Authentic headshots tell your audience how your people interact with company culture, where they work and — most importantly — who they are.
