A Melbourne hybrid shooter making the headshots a business publishes on its website, LinkedIn and in its deck, every person lit and framed to one standard, with team video from the same session when the brief needs it.
A headshot is often the first thing a client sees of your people, and a wall of portraits shot four different ways says something you did not mean to say. The brief is set before the day, with lighting, background and crop held to it, so every person drops into the website, deck and LinkedIn without being reshot. The full range sits on the photography page.
Team, board and leadership portraits from recent sessions. Select a frame to view it full size.
Each person gets one or two finished frames, retouched to the same standard, in web and print sizes. The whole team lands in one consistent set, ready for the staff page and LinkedIn.
Yes. As a hybrid shooter I capture stills and video from the same setups, so a short team film or profile clip comes out of the same visit, with no second crew needed.
Every session is quoted as a fixed fee against the headcount and site, with a running order before the day. Each person takes about ten minutes once the lighting is set, and gets one or two finished frames.
Almost always. A portable setup goes up in any room with about three metres of clear space, so people go back to their desk between takes.
Yes, and that is the main reason to shoot them as a system. The lighting, background and crop are recorded at the first session, so a new starter shot a year later drops into the same team page.
By cloud, in web and print sizes, with an estimate given at the end of the session. That ranges from next day to about four weeks, depending on the schedule at the time.
Yes. Commercial licensing covers your website, staff pages, LinkedIn, print, decks and paid media, in perpetuity. Each set is licensed to the business that booked it, so the images stay in use for the brand.
Most people say that, and it is usually about not knowing what to do with their hands. Direction handles it, and I show people a frame early so they can see it is fine.
Solid colours, mid to dark tones, and whatever they would wear to meet a client. Avoid fine stripes and busy patterns. I send a three line note to forward to the team before the day.
Send the team size, the site and the date you need. A short call pins the running order down, then the proposal, contract and payment schedule come through one client portal. Dates hold on a signed proposal and a deposit.
Tell me the headcount, the site and the date, and you get a running order and a delivery date before anyone books a slot.
