Location Corporate Headshots

When a company needs a lot of people photographed, it's often easier for me to go to them versus having a whole team travel to my studio. I'll typically set up in a conference room or free office, and the subjects will pop in for a session whenever they have a free moment in their workday. Sometimes we'll also have a makeup person on-site.

This was the case recently when I did headshots for Peak Management outside of Baltimore. I set up my lights in an empty office, a makeup artist worked out of a small conference room, and by the end of the day we had fresh new headshots for a team of 20+ people -- all with minimal disruption to their workday. The photo below shows a pretty typical set up, though I can definitely squeeze into less space if I need to. I also prefer to use actual human beings to help me tweak the lighting, but small furry monsters will work in a pinch.

I've done this sort of location shoot everywhere from law firms like Gilman and Bedigian, banks like JP Morgan and non-profits like the International Youth Foundation. The only problem I ever had was shooting headshots at a Tech Breakfast event in Columbia, MD. The pictures were great, the problem was that my set up was next to a table full of danishes, bagles and cream cheese. A man is only so strong...
