Having headshots taken of your entire team is something that you may have had on your to-do list for a while. This is a project that is easy to keep putting off, but once you find the right corporate photographer, you’ll realize that it’s actually quite easy to handle and you’ll wish you had done it sooner.
To help you get started, I’ve listed four tips below that can make sure you get excellent results from the project. Of course, as soon as you are ready to connect with a qualified corporate photographer who will take the lead on this project from the start, get in touch with me right away.
Pick the Right Corporate Photographer
This is the tip I wanted to use to start the list because it is going to make everything else easier. If you have the right corporate photographer on the project for your needs, you won’t have to worry about much – you can just follow the lead of your chosen partner and everything else will fall into place. To make the right choice, pick out a corporate photographer who has the qualifications and services you are looking for and reach out to have a conversation. You can learn a lot just by discussing the project and you should quickly have a good idea of whether or not a given photographer is going to be the right pick for you.
Settle on a Consistent Look
Given that these headshots are going to be used across your entire team, you’ll want to discuss what look you want to achieve and then make sure everyone on the team is going to fall in line with that look. First, this means working with the same photographer in the same setting for all sessions, so things like the lighting and background are steady across the project. Then, make sure everyone is dressed in a similar way so there aren’t some headshots that stand out from the rest because they are so different.

Master a Neutral, Professional Pose
Everyone who is going to have their headshot taken by your corporate photographer as part of this project should prepare in advance to get comfortable with a neutral, professional pose. This ties into the point I made above regarding consistency across the images. You want everyone to have generally the same expression, although there will naturally be a bit of variation from one person to the next. A good corporate photographer will be able to help your team members nail the right look on the day of the photo shoot.
Plan Ahead for Convenient Scheduling
Perhaps the trickiest part of working with a corporate photographer for headshots is timing everyone’s schedule properly to make it all work and minimize disruption. The best solution here is simply to plan well in advance. If you try to bring this project together with a corporate photographer at the last moment, it’s going to be tough to get everyone to make their appointment and get across the finish line. Of course, it helps to work with a flexible corporate photographer who is willing to adapt to your needs, but it all starts by planning well in advance.
