What corporate photography is
Corporate photography covers the still library an organization needs: consistent leadership and team portraits, real workplace and facility imagery, event coverage and process detail. Because lighting and access are already set for video, adding photography to a production day is the cheapest way to build a full library.
Who this is built for
- Organizations with inconsistent headshots across the team
- Teams relying on stock imagery that looks like stock imagery
- Associations documenting events and members
- Firms refreshing a website or annual report
What can be produced
Most engagements produce more than one finished piece from the same production.
- Executive and team portraits
- Environmental and workplace photography
- Event and conference stills
- Facility, product and process imagery
- Retouched, web-optimized and print-ready files
What business objective it supports
- Make an entire leadership page look like one organization
- Supply a website refresh with real imagery
- Give PR and press a usable asset library

What affects cost
- Number of people and locations

How we think about the work
Objective, audience and platform are decided before the shot list. The same seven steps run every engagement, scaled to the size of the project.
- 01
Objective
What should this content accomplish? We start with the business result the work is supposed to support, not the shot list.
- 02
Audience
Who needs to care? A board, a buyer, a candidate and a member are four different films, even when the subject is identical.
- 03
Platform
Where will they encounter it? A LinkedIn feed, a landing page, a paid placement and a stage screen each set different rules for framing, length and sound.
- 04
Story
What makes it worth watching? The idea, the structure and the opening seconds are decided before anything is scheduled.
- 05
Production
Create the work. A calm, prepared crew that protects your people's time on camera and captures everything the deliverable list will need.
- 06
Distribution-ready
Build the versions the plan called for, durations, aspect ratios, captions and platform masters, organized and labeled for the people publishing them.
- 07
Measure
Evaluate against the original objective. Depending on the project that may mean views, watch time, engagement, clicks, traffic, inquiries, applications or registrations, measured by your team, in your own analytics.
What to ask any production company
These questions separate a real production partner from a quote with a low number on it.
- Who is actually directing on the day, and will that person be on set?
- What is included in the quote, crew, gear, travel, editing, revisions, music licensing, captions?
- How many revision rounds are included, and what counts as a revision?
- What deliverables and aspect ratios do I receive, and who owns the footage afterward?
- How much of our team's time is required, and when?
- Can I see complete finished work of this type, not just a highlight montage?
