On-Site Business Headshots: FAQ for Dorset, Hampshire & London companies
At Clark Creative, we specialise in professional on-site headshot photography for businesses across Dorset, Hampshire, and London. Below, we’ve answered the most common questions we get from teams looking to refresh their corporate photography.
1. Why are on-site business headshots important?
A cohesive set of headshots gives your company a unified look and communicates professionalism, approachability, and trust. On-site sessions are convenient for your team, ensuring consistent portraits without the need to travel to a studio. They’re perfect for your website, LinkedIn profiles, email signatures, press releases, and more.
2. What’s the difference between on-site and studio headshots?
On-site headshots bring the studio to your office. This means minimal disruption to your team, a familiar environment for photos, and less time out of your diary. Studio sessions are great too, but on-site sessions make it easier to capture multiple staff members efficiently, especially for larger teams.
3. How should my team prepare for the session?
As with everything in life and business, a little preparation goes a long way - here are some top tips to making the most of your headshot session.
Decide on a style: Formal or relaxed, indoors or outdoors, light or dark background.
Plan outfits: Solid colours work best; avoid bold patterns or logos. Remove lanyards and overally distracting jewellery or clothing like scarves and hats.
Grooming: Hair, makeup, and wardrobe details like collars and ties should be tidy.
Calm space: A quiet meeting room or open area works best for smooth shooting, the last thing we want is continual distractions or being put off by work colleagues.
Bring a friend: To contradict our last point slightly, some people find having a friendly face present just off camera to talk with, look at or encourage can actually really help - it all depends on your personality!
Branding: Decide if you want staff in branded clothing, or if you want any branding in shot. We can also add branding and company logos in the edit - if that’s something you want then just let us know!
Relax: We guide everyone through poses and lighting — if the shots don’t look right then that’s in us not you - trust us, relax and you’ll get great results every time.
4. How long does an on-site session take?
Session lengths vary depending on the number of people, but we structure everything to be efficient. Individual headshots are typically quick, and we plan the day to minimise disruption while capturing high-quality results for all staff members.
5. How can we use our new headshots?
On-site headshots are versatile and can be used across:
Websites: Team pages, “About Us,” and contact sections
LinkedIn and other professional profiles
Email signatures and presentations
Press releases and PR materials
Internal systems like staff directories or intranets
6. How often should we update our headshots?
We recommend updating every 2–3 years. This ensures your team looks current, reflects any branding changes, and keeps your online presence authentic.
7. Where do you provide on-site headshot services?
We work with businesses across Dorset, Hampshire, and London, bringing all the equipment and expertise to your location. Whether you’re a small local firm or a larger company with multiple offices, we create professional portraits that showcase your brand consistently.
