Natural looking corporate portraits

March 21, 2019 /

Not long ago everyone was seeking a professional Headshot, a simple, clean, generic headshot against a white background that looks exactly like any other headshot out there. This seemed to be the standard, there was less diversity and us photographers would make good money from producing cookie-cutter corporate portraits for companies. Role forward few years and things have moved on: companies and individuals are now looking to stand out, be personal and show a unique human face. This evolution is definitely an improvement and represents a larger evolution in the workplace and our expectation to fulfil our talents at work. For example, we recently spent a day working with a large multinational healthcare brand. Their approach was personality driven and people orientated. They commissioned videos and photography portraying their key staff as unique, approachable individuals in the setting of their workspace while embodying the ethos of the company and strengthening…

Corporate portraits are an important part of your online presence. Whether they’re for a Linkedin profile, Social Media, Website’s about Page or PR. Communication has gone digital and putting a face to a name makes it personal. So what are your options when book a business portrait session? The most obvious choice is a corporate headshot against a white background. It’s easy and clean and will work well in most layouts. This is why it is by far the most popular choice and a quick look on your linkedin connection will prove that. For some professionals it makes sense to do shoot more than a headshot. Business profile photos rarely need to show a person from head to toe, but top half shots can show a bit more character and stand out from the crowd. Choosing a different background can set you apart from the rest too. It’s very important to keep…

These days content is king and many professionals are seeking a good corporate portrait to help them promote their brand. The most common route is a headshot on a white background. These photos are usually taken in a studio or a portable studio. I do many of these and they are always nice and predictable. Because the light is controlled it can be replicated and can have a flattering effect. If your personal profile plays a key role in the brand perception, it’s also worth considering a more editorial approach to the photography. Photos on location, preferably with natural daylight, tend to stand out and engage the viewer. If you photo is good, there is better chances that it will be featured when sending out press releases. These two business portraits were taken on location in north London. Though we used a white background the use of natural daylight gives a flattering and appealing look…

Professional corporate portraits can vary from the standard white background headshot. It is true that your Linkedin profile photo needs to convey professionalism, but this doesn’t mean you have to look like everyone else. Depending on your field and how you prefer to market yourself you can go for a friendly, less formal photo that can show more than just head & shoulders. Corporate headshots are absolutely fine, you just have to make sure they don’t look like a portrait from 1989. Things have moved on a bit… There are not absolute wrong or rights but you do want good eye contact and focus on top half (there’s usually no point in full length photos ). These two photos display a different take on corporate portraits. One was shot in the studio, the other in the client’s office. The generous crop allows for a bit more character and stand…

I had a lovely day working with the Hansa Hydrocarbons team in their offices. We managed to capture a selection of portraits and some real work situations that will be handy for their marketing material and website. They had a good idea of what they wanted and brought a lot of creative input.

For many of our corporate portrait sessions, we travel to our client’s offices to take the shots. Working in an office doesn’t mean we have to compromise on the quality you’d expect from a studio shoot. It can save you a lot of time and hassle, especially when a few people need to be photographed. All the portraits in this post where taken using our simple and portable studio setup, taking minimal time out of each executive’s schedule.
