A Complete Guide to Successful Corporate Headshot Photography

If your specialty is portraiture, odds are that at some point, you'll be asked to do a corporate headshot session. These can be much different than a normal headshot session, however, so it's important to learn the unique requirements and considerations. This helpful will show you everything you need to know.

Coming to you from Sean Tucker, this helpful video will give you a complete guide to running an efficient and successful corporate headshot session. Whereas in a normal headshot session with a single client, you might spend an hour or so helping them become comfortable in front of the camera and working through a number of looks to get to the keeper, in a corporate session, efficiency is the name of the game, meaning you'll likely only have a couple of minutes with each person. This means that everything from your lighting setup to your posing routine need to be dialed in and geared toward efficiency and just as importantly, toward consistency, as the company will most likely want a certain uniform look across the board. It's definitely worth becoming comfortable with running such a shoot, as a single session with dozens of employees can be lucrative. Check out the video above for more!
