How to Choose a Location for your Headshot Session
Choosing a location for your corporate or individual headshot session is an important decision. When I first chat with clients about their end goals for the headshot, knowing the end goal is one of the topics we will cover. If it’s for a business publication, a business card, website, magazine, or other promotional materials, we need to consider the background for each scenario. Here are some examples of backgrounds that I use and why they are the right choice for each scenario.
Studio
I mostly use white, grey, and black studio backgrounds for a professional look. Grey is the best color to use with multiple people since all colors of hair and clothing coordinate beautifully. Considered the business standard, this studio headshot is professional, well-lit, and easily repeatable. These studio sessions can take place in my home studio or at your office location. Keep in mind that I’ll need space to set up background and lighting.
Natural Light Studio
The Natural Light Studio is only available in my home studio. This is still a professional look but a little bit softer since no studio lights will be used.
Environmental
An environmental headshot takes place at your office or other location where the environment tells a story. A headshot that includes a bit of story can be very interesting. Even a little bit of a waiting area in your office can help people engage and connect with you through your headshot.
Outdoor
An outdoor headshot is a great modern alternative to the traditional studio headshot. Again, we should consider the background and make sure that it tells the right story for your business.
Corporate Headshots for The Professionals Group
Lance contacted me about a corporate headshot session for his team. Some team members work with commercial real estate, some with residential real estate, and others in the office setting. After discussing the options, we decided to do the shoot in my home studio where we were able to get a mix of images for everyone. We got a standard professional studio headshot for each team member. Then we used my home for an environmental headshot for the residential real estate members. Next, we took outdoor shots of the commercial members. And finally, we took an outdoor group photo in the park with a natural setting.
