Pre-Shoot Planning: Once you accept the estimate, we coordinate with you to visit your company to identify good spots on site to tell the story of your company or evaluate the space for optimal studio setup before the shoot takes place. Once we have a good plan in place, you will receive a custom booking confirmation.

Corporate Photography FAQs

How long does the individual business headshot shoot take?

When we work with an individual, we like to set aside 45 minutes to get a good variety of images.

How do your headshots stand out?

Most people would say that a good headshot makes you look professional. We think that a great headshot goes beyond this and can help you get to the next step of your career. We use different visual techniques to create headshots to help individuals come across as innovative, approachable, empathetic or reliable based on the industries our clients work in and where they are in their careers. Going deeper into the lives of our clients and their true needs creates an instant lift for the images we create for you.

How long does the team corporate headshot shoot take?

When we shoot a team, we work to optimize schedules and time. In general, a headshot for one professional can be 15 – 20 minutes. However, we have worked with companies that needed to photograph 70+ people in one day and we know it can be done with good planning.  

Where will the team headshot shoot take place?

As long as you can give enough space for studio lighting setup (or elect for headshots to be shot in natural light), we can photograph all members of your team on site. Alternatively, you can bring your team to our studio located in Cleveland Heights.

Do I have to sign any paperwork?

Yes, both parties sign a contract that helps with setting the right expectations and ensuring we are on the same page. Among other items, it details the project, delivery, and usage of images.

What should our team wear to the headshot session?

A lot of times this depends on the culture of your company and the way you want to come across to your clients. We’ve photographed IT startups in jeans and t-shirts, celebrity chefs in aprons, physicians in lab coats and Wall Street bankers in suits.

I would like the shoot to take place during normal business hours. Are you available?

We realize that the best time to take photos for your team is when everyone is in the office, so we adjust the calendar according to your schedule and timelines (just give us enough notice.)

What if I need to match the headshots to the previous photos done a few years ago?

In this event, you will need to provide an example of the previously done headshots. We will evaluate the setup and lighting and let you know the requirements to match the look.

How do the photographs of leadership for the annual report differ from the headshot shoot?

Usually headshots are produced using a neutral background or seamless studio backdrop. For the annual report, we often want to show leaders in the midst of their daily activities, interacting with clients or partners and highlighting the overall environment of the company.

In addition, the annual report may have a theme that the leadership wants to communicate such as innovation, sustainability, craftsmanship, tradition, or focus on the customer. Photography is then planned to incorporate these themes and communicate them through photos.

How long does it take to photograph one person for the annual report?

Usually, we like to budget 30-40 minutes to get enough variability of images, often photographing your executive at a few locations to provide options for the annual report layout. We have worked with executives who have busy schedules and were able to get great options within only 15 minutes.

How does the website shoot differ from the annual report?

The objective of the website shoot is to highlight the products or services that you offer. The shoot is structured to identify the processes within your company that add value to your offering, distinguish it from the competition and elevate it in the eyes of the customer. Common images include detail shots of the product, shots of the team constructing and executing the product, shots of the team interactions, and shots of clients using the product. Often times these images can be used for promotional collateral (such as a brochure or flier) as well as annual report (if you want to bring more focus to your products and services).

How long does the website shoot last?

We can capture a good range of your company’s services and internal processes within 2 hours. This time can be broken among multiple days to optimize the availability of your employees and capture multiple teams in your company. If you have a larger organization, we recommend increasing the time to 3 - 4 hours (please note that pricing will be adjusted as well). 

What kind of usage rights will I get to the photos?

We are happy to provide the images to use on your website/social media at no additional cost. Image rights for print or advertisement are negotiated separately.

How can our team prepare for the shoot?

When it comes to photographing a group of people, it helps when someone on your team can coordinate schedules and reserve rooms to make sure everyone shows up at the right place at the right time.

Do you provide discounts to regular clients?

Yes, we believe in building lasting relationships with our clients and developing content for them that consistently reinforces their brand. We offer a discounted rate for businesses and organizations that book 2 or more shoots per year with us.

Do you do event photography?

No, we do not think we are a good fit for this assignment. Our approach to corporate photography is more precise as we prefer to move beyond reportage and focus on delivering quality images through direction and careful lighting.
