Office Headshots

Professional office headshots can be taken at your workplace efficiently, consistently and without disruption. I guide your team through the process.

When people search for office headshots, they’re usually asking a very practical question:

Can we get professional headshots done without sending everyone to a studio?

The answer is yes. In fact, for most companies in London , doing headshots in your own office is the simplest and most efficient option.

I’ve been photographing corporate headshots in offices for over 10 years, working with law firms, finance teams, architects and tech companies in London. I’s quick, consistent and far less disruptive than people imagine.

What Are Office Headshots?

Office headshots are professional portraits taken at your workplace rather than in a photography studio.

That can mean:

A backdrop and lighting set up in a meeting room
Clean natural light in your office
A simple, neutral wall with controlled lighting
Environmental portraits showing your workspace

I’m very adaptable and can make nearly every space work.

Why Companies Choose Office Headshots

1. It’s Efficient

People take just 10–15 minutes out of their day and return to work. There is no travel time.

For larger numbers of staff sessions (20–150 staff), this makes a huge difference.

2. It Keeps Things Consistent

If everyone needs a headshot for:

Website profiles
LinkedIn
Proposals and pitch decks
Internal communications

It makes sense to photograph everyone in one coordinated session so the look is aligned.

3. It Feels Comfortable

Most people are slightly uneasy about being photographed. Doing it in a familiar environment helps.

My approach is calm and structured. I’ll guide people through poses and expressions without making it awkward. If we have a meeting room it’s also private.

What’s Needed To Do Headshots In An Office?

Not too much is needed to make it work.

Typically:

One meeting room or quiet space
3m x 3m of floor space
10–15 minutes per person

I bring the lighting, background and camera equipment and am prepared for any situation.

For larger teams, I can also help you:

Estimate timing
Build a schedule
Structure the day so it runs smoothly

Backdrop Or Natural Background?

There are two main approaches.

Clean Backdrop

A neutral grey, white or dark background creates:

Consistency
Flexibility across website and LinkedIn
A timeless look

This works particularly well for law firms, finance teams and consultancies.

Environmental Office Look

Sometimes it makes sense to show context, e.g. architecture or workspace.

This suits:

Creative industries
Architects
Design-led businesses
Tech companies

The choice depends on how you want to present your brand.

Common Concerns About Office Headshots

“Our office doesn’t have the right lighting.”

No problem. I bring in lighting so I can control it.

“We don’t have a proper backdrop.”

Also fine. I bring one.

“People hate having their photo taken.”

Most people do, but most people are surprised by how straightforward and almost enjoyable it feels.

“What if we hire new staff later?”

We can either:

Repeat the same setup periodically, or
Document lighting and background settings for consistency later

Planning for this upfront avoids mismatched headshots in six months’ time.

How To Organise Office Headshots

If you’re arranging this, the process is simple:

Decide who needs a new headshot
Estimate numbers
Choose a date when most people are in
Book a meeting room
Create a simple time schedule
Send a clear note to staff explaining what to expect

That’s it. The shoot itself is usually the easiest part.

What Makes A Good Office Headshot?

For me, it comes down to three things:

1. Expression – You look like yourself, not stiff or forced,
2. Lighting – Clean, flattering & consistent.
3. Purpose – The image works where it will actually be used.
