  • I regularly work with clients on professional photography projects in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset. However, I also often work with clients throughout the UK, providing professional photography services in London, the West Midlands, Bristol and even further afield, sometimes working oversees. Depending on the distance, I may ask my clients to cover my travel expenses, although I will always disclose this upfront and will never charge an upfee.

  • Prices for corporate headshots photography vary according to the quantity of photos required and length of time on the job. I have a minimum fee of £200, which covers up to 20 members of staff on one day. If you require professional headshots for more than 20 people, this will be priced at £10 per additional member of staff.

  • I am always happy to travel to your workplace. In fact, if you have multiple members of staff requiring professional headshots, it's likely easier for me to come to you, as this will save time in your work day and eliminate the need for you to travel during work hours. I have a portable studio that is 9-foot wide, which requires a space with a ceiling approximately 10-foot high. If you prefer not to use a studio background, we may be able to find a suitable location in your workplace to take the headshots. Of course, if you prefer to come to me, that's possible too - see below question.

I am able to provide refreshments in the form of drinks and light snacks, if required.

  • In order to get natural photos that you're happy with, it's important that you wear something you're comfortable in for your corporate headshot photoshoot. However, it's usually best not to wear overly patterned or stripey garments, as this can cause warping in the image and distract from the focal point - you!

  • As a professional headshot photographer, it's my job to make you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. As part of this, I'll help you pose on the day to produce headshots that you're happy with, so you don't need to worry about practising your best pose beforehand.
