Environmental vs Studio Headshots

Part of planning for your headshot session involves deciding on location and background.  This is an important consideration because it sets the tone for your headshots.  First, decide if you want a more formal look or a little more casual.  The session can also be anything in between.  Next, decide on a location.

The Studio Session: Do you need a formal headshot for the company?  Does it need to match other headshots that already exist within the company?  Do you need an image that has a clean background that can be used in various marketing materials?  Then a studio session is probably what we need to accomplish this.

The Branding Session or Environmental: Do you own your own small business?  Do you have a clean slate for images for your company?  Are you re-designing your website and need updated images to take advantage of the new look?  Perhaps a branding session or environmental session is right for you.  Even with environmental headshots, consistency is key when we are photographing an entire team.  In order to ensure consistency and repeatability, we can photograph individuals and replace the background.  This also works for offices that may not lend themselves to the look that you’d like for the environmental shot.

Talk to your photographer about your company and your brand.  Generate ideas for the best possible location for your headshot session.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
