New Outdoor Headshot for Corporate Teams

Headshots for the Team

To provide consistency for new hire team photos, we used the same location located on East Burnside to create the team headshots for Portland’s Housing Development Center.

“Affordable homes and facilities designed, developed, and sustainably resourced to meet the needs of diverse communities.”

For this on location session we used the urban environment of the client’s office space as the backdrop and used the available light coming through the buildings and street as the main source of light.

In addition to bounce and flag cards we manipulated the light with the positioning of the subjects. The closer the subject to the shadow line of the light source the greater the diffused light that impacts the skin. By placing the subject next to a building with the winter light direction we were able to achieve a reduction of light to the top of the head and add dimension to the face with shadows.

What Are Corporate Headshots?

Corporate headshots are professional photographs used to enhance various marketing and communications approaches. Most commonly, they are used on company websites or LinkedIn profiles.

They can also be used on business cards, personal blogs or websites or press releases.

A strong corporate headshot evokes professionalism, competence, warmth and personality.

Why is it Important to Have a Great Corporate Headshot?

A great headshot is an effective way to help people identify you and to humanize information they read about you.

There are many reasons why having a good corporate headshot is important:

  • Create a Strong First Impression. When people are looking you up via your website or social media, your corporate headshot can help establish a great first impression. Whether it’s potential clients or customers, business partners or employers, people want to know who they’re doing business with. An About Us page or LinkedIn profile is often the first place they look and your headshot can deliver

  • Build Trust. Customer and client relationships come first. With strong corporate headshots featuring a professionally dressed and smiling executive, you can build and strengthen trust with your most valued relationships. It builds a connection and humanizes you to those looking at your picture. Remember, most people do business with a person, not a company

  • Reinforce Values. What message does your business want to convey about what is important? By connecting your face to your company’s name, you want to be sure you are delivering the core values and messages

  • Commitment to Quality. A selfie or cropped photo of a family vacation is not a professional corporate headshot. You want photos to reflect the professionalism, poise and commitment to excellence you aspire to every day to come across in your headshots
