Corporate Head shots - Business and CV portraits


I spend most of my week drifting from office to office in and around the London so it makes sense to start the first post of Green Focus with the corporate head shot package!


I have featured a selection - all great and lovely individuals who needed a last minute portrait for their website, presentation, new job, intranet, ... So many needs! 

I conducted these at their office locations or in my studio location in the West End, WC2. Although the studio space is a fab location, I love going into peoples offices to photograph them in their own environment. Not only do I find that they relax quicker and causes less interruption to their day, but I enjoy the challenge of having a different location and lighting set-up.

For the studio head shots I provide a session with white, black or mid-tone grey background. However with location visits this can be a staircase, office, meeting room, park, living room, conservatory... absolutely anything!


It gets may brain ticking and allows me to produce a unique shoot to reflect their business.

Studio shoots do tend to be very popular however, especially with large companies as they are then easier to replicate an in-house style. The white is also a Hi-Key background that allows the picture to be 'dropped' seamlessly into a design - great for posters! As I also provide studio set-ups in offices this also allows me to photograph up to 160 employees in a working day.

Many get put off at the thought of having their photo taken as many can feel stiff, awkward and bring back suppressed fears from the good old 'School Photo' days! But my shoots are always relaxed and produce formal but approachable portraits that resemble the client.


Plus I never EVER ask for someone to lean into their fist...! (Or force them to smile when they have braces... My own suppressed school photo trauma!)
