Corporate Headshot Photography
Provide professional headshot photography for businesses, executives, and professionals delivering polished images for LinkedIn and corporate use
Overview
Corporate headshot photographers create professional portrait photographs for business use - LinkedIn profiles, corporate websites, marketing materials, and professional directories.
You shoot individual headshots or team photography on-location or in studio.
Pricing ranges from $150-$500 per person or company packages of $2,000-$10,000 for team photography.
Shooting 40-100 headshots monthly generates $60,000-$180,000 annually with 65-80% margins.
Target clients include corporate employees and executives, real estate agents and financial advisors, law firms and professional services, company team photography, LinkedIn users wanting professional photos, and actors/models needing headshots.
Services include individual professional headshots, company team photography, executive portraits, LinkedIn profile optimization, on-location or studio photography, and image editing and retouching.
Success requires portrait photography and lighting skills, ability to make subjects comfortable and natural, professional studio setup or mobile lighting, efficient workflow for volume headshots, and marketing to corporate clients and professionals.
Many headshot photographers offer corporate packages and team rates, potentially do on-site company photography days, maintain professional studio space, use LinkedIn for client marketing, and build recurring relationships with companies updating headshots regularly.
