On-Location or Studio Headshots, What Is Your Style? | Jacksonville, FL Headshot Photography
/It is more than just a headshot!
We call them headshots, but it is better to think of them as dynamic portraits that represent your brand. Whether you are going for casual and relaxed or professional yet approachable, we are here to help! One big decision is whether to have your headshots taken in the studio or on-location.
The studio is ideal if you are looking for clean, uninterrupted backdrops. This is a solid choice when your primary goal is updating business collateral, such as cards, your website’s about page, or if you need empty space surrounding your image, where text can be added. A great suit or well-coordinated outfit will pop against a solid color backdrop!
On-location portraits can be taken at your place of business, or an outdoor location of your choice. We typically refer to on-location headshots as “environmental portraits” – so it is important to think about what your chosen environment says about you and your brand.
On-Location Corporate Headshots
Even traditional-style headshots can be freshened up with a great environmental backdrop. We recently collaborated with Fleet Landing in Atlantic Beach, FL to update their Executive Headshots. Their goal was to shift away from the stiff-look of their previous headshots, and update their web presence with professional photos that communicate the “feel” of life at Fleet Landing. We collaborated with their Director of Marketing to choose an outdoor location on-property that highlights the natural beauty of the community. The pops of blue and green in the landscape coordinate well with Fleet Landing’s brand colors and provided a consistent look to the team’s headshots.
