Relaxed and authentic professional corporate headshots and portraits in Sussex Brighton Hove London by female photographer videographer

How to make your corporate headshots pop

December 12, 2020

After 11 years working for a big corporation, I am saying “NO” to boring and bland business headshots!

Yes, you read it right…

Let’s say “no” to boring headshots

You know the kind I mean - usually against a white background in a studio with strong artificial light, fake smiling and pretending to be relaxed in front of camera.

  • It’s so outdated...

  • It’s so awkward….

  • It’s so posed…

  • It’s so not like you.

Since I have decided to follow my passion and become professional brand portrait photographer here in Sussex, I am on a mission to promote authenticity and expressing our uniqueness during photo session.

You can express who you are with engaging portraits that are full of personality, whilst also staying true to your brand. 

This is the new way: authentic and engaging business headshots and portraits full of personality 

As a female portrait photographer, I only capture corporate portrait headshots which tell your story to help you stand out to clients.

So here I am, proposing to swap cold studio lighting and the dull white wall for some outdoor fun: happy beaches, enigmatic forests, edgy urban architecture?

The options are endless.

We are still following the professional corporate headshot requirements: professionalism, formality, high quality portrait image but with a little bit of personalised touch.

With just one or two outfit changes and different background settings from brick wall to sea view and beyond, we’ll captured multiple headshot looks. 

  1. Some more formal headshot which are just perfect for her website company profile

  2. Some a little bit less formal but still professional close up portraits which are perfect for my client Linkedin profile picture.

  3. We took a few lifestyle portraits, much more relaxed, casual and joyful which are perfect for social media like FB, IG profile picture or even online dating if there is a need.

  4. Mixture of landscape and horizontal portraits, different moods and emotions.

Inject personality fun and authenticity into your professional corporate portrait headshot photo session Sussex Brighton Hove London

I love what Joel and I created on the Brighton & Hove beach here in Sussex a few weeks ago, just before the lockdown. 

We went for a walk during her lunch break as her schedule was really busy with back to back meetings.

Looking at pictures we created together you might think we had sunny day… well quite opposite. 

As a portrait photographer, I am obsessed with taking pictures using only natural light. We really do not need a sunny day for an outdoor photoshoot together. 

It’s quite the opposite. I can use any weather conditions (apart from rain). That’s why I offer corporate headshots and portraits photo sessions all year round.
