A good headshot goes a long way
First impressions matter, whether you’re a business owner, a professional in a corporate or government setting, or a creative person. Quality headshots convey professionalism and how much you care about what you do. A good photographer captures your personal brand – your values, vision, and message – and puts you in control of it.
What quality headshots can do
Your audience will recognise you from a professional headshot and connect with you, building credibility and trust. Knowing that your headshot looks fantastic will help you feel confident when meeting new clients or members of your audience.
Professional headshots are versatile and relevant in a digital world. Headshots can be used for websites, social media platforms, and print marketing products.
Our photography services
We shoot headshots for business, corporate, and creative people. For corporate headshots, we can shoot photos of individuals or shoot team photos if you prefer. We can also shoot headshots for social media profiles.
Choose a style for your images
Headshots reveal a person’s essence and communicate their brand. The photography style you choose for your headshot depends on the business you’re in and how you want to represent your brand. Our amazing photographer works with you to craft the best image. Your choices vary from the classic black-and-white headshot or portrait style to interesting corporate headshots, more casual headshots, and creative duotone studio images. Check out our online photo gallery for some creative images and approaches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do we do take headshots?
Your headshot session can take place at our studio in Canberra, your venue, or on location in a natural setting – whatever you prefer. We offer both studio and on-location services.
What should you wear for corporate headshots?
Our photographer will give you more details, but here are some quick tips about the kind of clothes to wear for your photography session:
- Solid colours are the best. Avoid tight patterns or prints.
- Choose muted or dark tones to wear.
- Decide whether you should wear formal or casual clothes. If you’re in a more conservative industry or organisation, then formal may be the way to go. Start-ups, less traditional businesses, and creative people tend to choose more casual clothes.
- Make sure your clothes fit you well and that you feel comfortable in them.
How much do corporate headshots cost?
The cost of headshot photography varies according to your project requirements. Cost factors include the number of people to be photographed and the location. For the most up-to-date information, please get in touch so we can discuss your project.
What should I expect from my headshot photography session?
Before the photography shoot, you’ll talk with our photographer about requirements and preferences. You may discuss the headshot style, whether the photography will take place in the studio or on location, and any professional retouching or editing of images.
During the photography session, our photographer will coach you through posing and expressions to capture a range of photos. The photographer will work with you to ensure that the images reflect your personality and convey the professional impression you want.
After the photography session, you’ll review the photos and select your favourite images. You can also talk with our photographer about any additional editing or retouching needed before we deliver the final photos.
How fast is the turnaround for headshots?
Depending on how many final images you choose and how much editing they need, the turnaround could be anywhere from a day or two to a week.
Can I use my photos for anything?
The use is based on the project requirements described in the contract and the agreed-upon terms. Factors that affect photo usage include where you plan to use the photos (website, social media, print materials, etc.), the geographic area where they appear, the individuals in the photos, and the length of time the photos will be used.
