Executive portraits

As a professional corporate photographer, I've had the opportunity to work with some fantastic clients. I've been blessed to have had such a great year, and I look forward to continuing my work in the coming year.

I'd like to take a moment to talk about corporate portraits and why they're essential. A corporate portrait is essentially a headshot but with a few important distinctions. First and foremost, a corporate portrait is taken in a business setting. This could be in an office or at a corporate event. It's important to capture the subject in their element so that the portrait is professional and conveys the right message.

Another important distinction is that a corporate portrait is usually taken with a specific purpose in mind. For example, a company might use a corporate portrait on their website, or in marketing materials. Headshots are often used for press or publicity purposes. It's important to keep this purpose in mind when taking the photo, so that you can make sure the portrait is effective.

Finally, corporate portraits are generally taken in a more formal style than headshots. This doesn't mean that they have to be stuffy or overly serious, but they should look professional. The subject should be well-dressed and groomed, and the background should be simple and clean.

If you're considering having corporate portraits taken, I highly encourage you to do so. They can be a great way to boost your professional image, and they can be used for a variety of purposes. I hope you have a great year, and I look forward to working with you soon!
