As a busy professional, you have a lot on your plate. If you have been thinking lately about booking a corporate photoshoot as a way to enhance the profile of both yourself and your business, you are certainly onto something. Professional images from a corporate photoshoot can be an excellent marketing asset, and they are much easier to obtain than you might believe.
On this page, I’d like to dive into four easy tips that you can use to get a perfect look from your upcoming corporate photoshoot. And, if you happen to still be looking for a qualified photographer to lead the way on this project, be sure to reach out directly for more information.
#1 – Plan Your Outfit
For starters, you will need to spend some time ahead of your corporate photoshoot thinking about what you are going to wear for the occasion. Your best bet is to keep things simple on this front, wearing something that you would typically wear to work when you have a meeting or another important event on your schedule. It’s best to avoid anything bright and flashy that could distract from the photo itself. Keep it simple, wear something clean and professional, and let your expression shine.
#2 – Focus on Good Grooming
There is a bit of planning that goes into getting your grooming ready for a corporate photoshoot. First, think about your hair. If you will need a haircut before the date of the shoot, try to schedule that for a week or two ahead of time. This lets the haircut fill in a bit, and gives you time for any corrections to be made.
You’ll also want to factor in any other variables that might be applicable to you before a corporate photoshoot, such as shaving, makeup, skincare, and more. Modern photography is capable of showing subjects in great detail, so you’ll want to make sure that you are ready for this session from a grooming perspective.

#3 – Practicing Your Posing
I want to make one thing very clear in this section – while posing and expressions are important in corporate photography, don’t let this point keep you from going ahead with the project. Some people decide to skip a corporate photoshoot altogether because they are worried about trying to “perform” in front of the camera, and they are intimidated by the process. Trust me, it’s much easier than you are thinking, and just a bit of practice is all it takes to get comfortable.
Most likely, you just want to present a warm, confident appearance in these images. If that is the case, work on a relaxed smile in front of a mirror for a few minutes at night. It won’t take long for you to feel comfortable with the gentle smile you’ll use for the camera, and the rest will take care of itself.
#4 – Get the Lighting and Background Right
This last tip for a corporate photoshoot isn’t actually something that you need to worry much about, as it should be managed by your photographer instead. The lighting and background for your photos are certainly important, but as long as you are working with an experienced professional who has done other corporate photoshoot projects, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Take their direction on these points so your final images will look great and convey the right message to your audience.
