THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO UNIFIED CORPORATE HEADSHOTS

At the beginning of every photo-shoot, when our subject walks into the studio area, I prepare myself for a story or two to unfold, of a previous photo-shoot gone wrong. Bad lighting. Weird experience. Uncomfortable posing. Inappropriate comments. Feeling disconnected.

I’ve even heard the story of a photographer who, during a corporate portrait session, played Spanish music and announced he was going to steal the person’s soul! Yikes! It’s no wonder that people get stressed out at the thought of finding the right corporate headshot photographer. I mean, who wants to be associated with someone who makes your team feel uncomfortable?

Then there are the final images. They may have looked ok individually, but once posted on the website there were vast inconsistencies. Heads were different sizes, the background was distracting and the lighting varied from person to person. Sound familiar?

If you are looking to hire a photographer, here is a check list of 5 things you need to do to ensure you have a smooth and easy experience and get unified headshots.
