The Remote Work Environment has highlighted the importance of maintaining standardized corporate headshots for all employees.
When your team members aren’t in the same place, it can seem tough to maintain a cohesive, professional impression. You are aware that corporate headshots contribute to a unified brand image, but how can you get consistent headshots for team members who live in different locations or even different countries? Standardized corporate headshots are the solution.
This is where I, as a professional photographer, can assist! Allow me to demonstrate how we can capture cohesive, on-brand headshots. Headshots that not only represent your team but that team members will also love! With standardized corporate headshots, everyone can have a consistent look.
Why is it crucial for your brand to have consistent headshots?
Does headshot consistency matter across teams? YES! Because it communicates cohesiveness, professionalism, and brand alignment. Being a leader in your field is what you desire as a business. You want to demonstrate to partners and clients that you are dependable, and they can trust you to deliver. Standardized corporate headshots are important for larger corporations where team images may appear in email signatures, LinkedIn profiles, and company websites.
Headshots That Showcase Your Brand Voice
In my capacity as a corporate portrait photographer, I provide a range of styles. Your brand’s voice will determine which one you choose:
- Traditional Headshots:
Perfect for formal, conservative professional corporations. Photographed with traditional lighting on a solid background. Traditional expressions and posing. Traditional formal professional dress is advised. - Modern Headshots:
These emphasize individualism while maintaining a more laid-back professionalism. Photographed using the office space or with a more vibrant background color. Posing is more relaxed and casual. Work casual attire is advised, and a modern lighting set-up is used. - Lifestyle Headshots:
For a friendlier, more laid-back style that highlights approachability. These frequently use the backdrop of the natural workplace. Usually, the person is photographed 3/4 of the way to the waist or mid-thigh, showing more than just the head and shoulders.
We’ll start by, discussing your business so I can learn what best fits your business’s style and choose the greatest look for your brand. Developing a consistent visual identity for your remote team by using standardized corporate headshots.
Expert Methods for Taking Headshots of Remote Teams
Ensuring uniformity in style, backdrop, and quality across photos—whether taken remotely or in an office—is crucial for remote teams. Here’s how I accomplish that:
- In-Person Headshot Sessions:
I suggest taking headshots in conjunction with an annual or quarterly meeting when most of the team members are physically present. Or during a Christmas party or conference. As a seasoned professional, I can take great headshots fast—an average of two minutes for each person. It has taken more than two decades to achieve this expertise. - Virtual Headshot Sessions:
For team members who work remotely full-time, I will take in-person photos of any local team members and can offer a guide that any local photographer in the city may utilize, including information on lighting, background setup, and posing, thus striving for standardized corporate headshots. - Services in Several Cities:
I will travel to major cities to conduct on-site photographic sessions for businesses with remote teams spread out across various places. This guarantees that the lighting, background, and posing guidance are all the same for all headshots, creating standardized corporate headshots.
Maintaining Brand Consistency in Every Photo
So if you think having a remote team means you can’t have consistent professional photography this is untrue. We can achieve consistent professional images by:
- Custom Background and Lighting Guides:
Ensuring uniformity in setup is achieved by providing distant participants with comprehensive guidance. - Standardized Editing: To keep a consistent brand look, I use consistent edits (lighting, contrast, color, cropping, and retouching).
- Consultations:
To provide you with a guide that will make every picture appear as though it was taken in the same location, I work with you before the session to determine the voice of your business and the style that will best represent your brand.
