Let's talk about environmental headshots!

I have been doing a TON of headshot sessions lately which has been great for business since I’ve had so many weddings postponed to next year (or indefinitely!). Most of these headshots have been what we photographers call “environmental portraits,” meaning they are taken in on location and not with a backdrop. Usually the location is somewhere that is consistent with the business or person’s brand, their physical location, or their line of work. Sometimes the location is chosen to match a color scheme or theme for the business’s website or social feed.

If you want to learn more, head over to my commercial portfolio or my brand new personal branding photography page!

Tricia is taking over a business in Mahomet, so we used downtown Mahomet as the backdrop.

Dr. Benson needed headshots that were light and bright to stay consistent with her colleagues' portraits on their website.

This attorney is running for office and so a library backdrop made perfect sense.

This educational office was holding a meeting at a local hotel and needed their headshots to be consistent across the board so we chose a location just outside the building.

This architecture company needed similar but all slightly different headshots, so we basically moved around the outside of their building looking for worthy spots.
