Head and shoulders photo
per person
A corporate headshot takes, on average, 10 minutes per person to shoot once I have set-up the location and lighting. This time is spent:
If your employee is nervous and doesn't like their photo taken, it will show in the photo. The time relaxing them and working on the best shot for each employee will really come through in the final photos.
My corporate headshots won't look like wide-eyed and fake smiles which makes the photos on your website that much better.
Half body, 3/4 and full length
per person
A corporate portrait takes, on average, 15 minutes per person to shoot because there is more in the frame that needs to be controlled, like the background, balancing natural lighting with photography lighting and so on.

For 2 to 10 people
per group
Team photos usually take around 20 minutes to set-up for, depending on the size of the group and how well they work together. This time is spent relaxing, arranging and coaching the group.
It is important that they know what to wear on the day of the shoot. If one is in shorts and t-shirt but the others are in suits and ties the group shot will not work well.
I will examine all options available for a location and I can quickly decide on the best one. If you want to photo in a specific location I will work that location and maximise the lighting and scene.
I take twenty photos a second for a few seconds once everyone is ready, so you can be sure I will have photos with no-one blinking.
Great for filling in time
per session
Action photos are a great way to tell the story behind the day. If you have time spare then these shots can often be the favourite photos of the day because of the story they tell.
I can either work the scene, adding branding and props, or I can switch my camera to silent, stand way back in the background by putting on a telephoto lens and then capture the most candid shots possible.
In most headshot shoots, it is these shots that are most enjoyed by the company.
On location set-up
Studio lighting and room prep
It usually takes around 30 minutes to set-up everything on location, in a meeting room or in a boardroom. I bring multiple lights and soft-boxes with me so I can work in any lighting.
If I'm at your location, what's very important, is having parking as close as possible to the location and also for the room I'll be working in to be decluttered. It takes multiple trips to unload everything from the car so parking close-by is needed.
For complex outside jobs I may need to bring an assistant with me for an extra £75 for a half day or£150 per day. I will know the answer to this once I have a brief for the project.
In Three easy steps
Decide how many and what type of photographs you need and make a note the time each type takes to shoot. If you've missed this information scroll back up page to find the type of photos you're after.
Next multiply the number of employees being photographed by the time each photo type takes to shoot. Don't forget to add in the 30 minutes studio set up time to give you total time in minutes.
Select nearest time on site package from tables below. Not a perfect fit? Consider what other corporate image types I could shoot while on your site. Using up the rest of the time for future image/social media stock is really useful!
