Headshots are a powerful way to make a great first impression in the professional world. Whether you’re updating your company profile, refreshing your LinkedIn presence, or simply showcasing your personality in a polished, professional way, having a high-quality headshot can make all the difference. But what happens when your company has specific requirements for headshots? That’s where customized professional photography comes in.
Recently, Laini reached out to me needing a professional headshot that met her company’s specific guidelines. Like many organizations, her company had particular preferences for the style and format of employee headshots. From background color to lighting and framing, these details can vary widely depending on a company’s branding and professional standards. My goal was to deliver exactly what she needed while also giving her options for additional uses.
Meeting Company Standards
Creating a headshot that adheres to company guidelines starts with clear communication. Before Laini’s session, we discussed the requirements in detail: the background color, lighting style, and any specific framing or orientation her company required. Having this information upfront allowed me to prepare and ensure her headshots aligned perfectly with her company’s expectations.
Beyond the Basics
While it was important to create the required headshot, I wanted to provide Laini with more than just one image. By making quick adjustments to the lighting setup and background, we created a variety of looks during her session. This approach gave Laini the flexibility to use different headshots for various purposes—whether it’s a LinkedIn profile, an internal company directory, or even personal branding needs. She left with a versatile collection of images, all tailored to highlight her professionalism and personality.
Why Custom Headshots Matter
Many companies now have specific branding guidelines that include employee headshots, ensuring a cohesive and professional look across all platforms. But as an individual, your headshot should also reflect who you are. That’s why working with a professional photographer is so valuable. It’s about balancing the company’s requirements with a personalized approach, so you’re not just meeting expectations but exceeding them.
