When people think of business headshots, they tend to imagine a person wearing a business suit, crossing their arms in front of them and smiling at the camera against a pure white backdrop. But business portrait photographers have come a long way and have gotten much more creative than this lately! There are many styles of business headshots you can employ. Think about your business and how you want to be perceived in your market. Get creative and show off your best side!
The Standard Headshot
Perhaps your business is a law office and the crossed armed, suit wearing picture is perfect for your business. That’s ok! If you’re looking for a way to shoot portraits to introduce your staff on your “About Us” section of your website, standard headshots are often the way to go. Perhaps have your logo in the background of the shot. Or have your company colours as the backdrop instead of a white background. And allow your staff to wear what they would wear to the office. If your office is typically business casual, have your staff wear business casual in the photos. We’ve shot many business portraits in Oakville and find that business casual is often the norm in most offices.
Business in Action Headshots
If you’re looking for business headshots you can use on social media, or other areas of your website, you might consider a business in action headshot. These are styled shots of you interacting with colleagues or clients doing what you would normally do at your business, whether it be sitting in a meeting, perhaps conducting a presentation, or even onsite work like a construction site for example. Being onsite gives your clientele a better perception of how involved you are with your business, especially if you are a C-Level executive. We do corporate photography all around Burlington and Oakville and can be wherever you need us!
Group Headshots
If you are taking everyone’s business headshots on the same day at the office, it’s often a great opportunity to take a group headshot of the whole team, and your business portrait photographer will likely encourage it. This makes for a great homepage photo on your website, it can be used in advertisements and can be used for social media, especially when your company has a team that is very client-facing, such as a real estate office.
