Composite Images
Can't get your team all in one place? We can do this with composite images. Perfect for far-flung and busy teams.
This is where we take individual portraits of participants, edit them, assemble them onto a background image, and produce a final composite.
The advantages are many:
First: Creating the image of each participant in the composite to fit the scene. This is often a full length portrait, or a half upper torso image. Each one is created individually. Great for when all your staff cannot be in one place, yet you want a group image. Each image will need to be retouched as a select. $100 per image.
Individual Portraits ...................................................... $450
2. Create the composite image background in which to place the individual participant images. The final select image will need to be retouched as a select. $100 per image. This cost is variable depending on what background you choose.
Create the Background Image .................................. $450
3. Assemble the individual image onto the background for final. The final composite image may need to be retouched as a select. $100 per image.
Composite Assembly ...................................................... $225
Group Images
This is for a group gathered together to make a photo. A professional image takes selecting a spot, setting up for good lighting, staging and organizing the subjects for interest and lookability, then shooting a range of images and poses. Finally for the photographer to tear down and exit the area.
I remember those shots with a large group on tiered stadium seats and the photographer on a Hi-Lift crane looking down. These have more meaning to the participants, who must look at the faces with a magnifying glass, than the potential clients or customers, whose passing thought is, "Yeah, there are a lot of them." This has power when the message is, "No matter what, we have people who can help you."
Large groups may require equipment to get the photographer high enough, or shoot in a stairwell or out-over a balcony. One thing for sure, my efforts will revolve around coaching for genuine expressions that help your business.
Even professional sports team shots take similar effort. Here the goal is to intimidate and repel all comers; that is the exact opposite for a business development image.
Each situation is different, I suggest we start on budgeting a half a day for the shoot. There are two ends of the spectrum.
- Show a large group of people resources that can do whatever is needed. Here the faces will be small and not connect with the viewer.
- Focus on good expressions that invite and connect with the viewer. For this we limit to around 8-10 people so the faces are big enough to make a difference. This is especially true when viewed on a cell phone.
So lets chat about what you want to accomplish, and we can give you a solid estimate.
Your Professional Headshots.
In this image-driven world a headshot can be highly valuable to business owners and other professionals alike. With about one third of consumers engaging their favorite brands online, business owners can gain a competitive advantage with a top-notch headshot. And, with most recruiters now using social media, working professionals need a high-quality and compelling headshot now more than ever before.
First Impression Power: There's a saying that goes, "Nothing lasts quite like a first impression" and it's a fact. Research by Cornell University tells us that when we see a photograph of somebody, we almost immediately make a subconscious assessment of that person and their character. Almost immediately, on the spot! In milliseconds! This is why it's so important that your headshot has substance.
Your headshot is a visual and emotional handshake with your viewer. It is not only digital, but always invokes a gut reaction in your viewer. You only have one shot at a first impression. We make it count for you.
Lookability: Our headshots, with high lookability, hold the viewer's attention, with the attitude that they want to see more. Otherwise they move on to another website.
Investments: Businesses large and small invest in beautiful offices, expensive furniture, brilliant people, the most efficient equipment, expensive marketing programs, and rightly so, to send out a message to potential clients that they are professionals, experts in their field, and can be trusted.
ROI: The Return On Investment (ROI) for our high quality. door-opening, relationship-building, 1%, headshots is extremely high and of great value.
I CREATE HEADSHOTS THAT UPGRADE YOUR FUTURE.
A proper professional headshot does not just fill a spot on a form. Studies prove it is one of the most powerful marketing tools there is, WHEN DONE RIGHT.
Door Opening: People see a proper headshot with that extremely rare confidence and approachability by our coaching. They want to meet you, work with you, and call you. This is the power of our compelling headshots for you.
Gets Jobs: I create headshots that get Actors, Models and Entertainers jobs, and I put that know-how into your headshots. The result for you is business and personal success.
Typical Review: "The difference between the other “pro” headshots I had and yours is remarkable!"
I’D LOVE TO HELP YOU.
But businesses are only as good as the people who make up the business, and part of that is how these people are perceived by others; and not just internally.
How does your employee's headshots look on LinkedIn? If they're bad, or lack connection, it can reflect badly on your business as well as them personally. So, it's important that we understand why a headshot is necessary.
What is Going On: Sure, it's great that people can put a face to a name. But the real reason a headshot is necessary is so that before potential clients meet you or have the chance to walk through your doors, that they have the impression that you're an expert in your field, a confident, trustworthy, authentic and approachable person.
ROI: Probably the most cost effective way to increase your perceived confidence and approachability, is a professional headshot, shot by a headshot photographer who knows and understands why you need a headshot.
I believe that it's important to provide you with a headshot that puts the work in for you online, 24 x 7 every day.
I'm passionate about headshots, they're really interesting to me and there's a psychology behind them that can really help you and your business, if done the right way.

I make 1% headshots that create a competitive advantage for individuals and organizations. These 1% headshots show approachability and confidence so the viewer immediately likes them, sees they are competent to help them, and wants to work with them. People want to do business with people they like and appear competent to do the job for them. This is what a 1% headshot conveys, and is very rare in the marketplace. The 99% of all other headshots do not do this, or even come close.
I do some basic kinds of headshots.
1) Creative individual session with 3-5 looks (clothes) with images for corporate website, personal branding, LinkedIn, and other social media. More formal corporate and some casual looks for social media. Session takes 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on number of looks and how well prepared the subject is. We usually end up with multiple, 1% headshots to choses from.
2) Production, quality session for individuals, 10-15 minutes for each individual, one look (usually their work clothes). Tailored to any corporate standard. Usually runs 5-7 people per hour, or about 30-40 per 8 hour day. These headshot are usually better than they have ever seen before, maybe in the category of 70-90% headshots, maybe one 90-95% headshot per person.
3) A mix of these two with creative sessions for key executives, and production quality-headshots for the entire staff.
4) Trade show/conference record headshots. Usually 2-3 minutes per individual. Usually in the top quality range of headshots, but 1% shots are extremely rare. Quality depends on how well they are prepared in hair, make-up, clothes, skills and attitude. Rate is around 20-25 per hour. People will look better than your standard security badge, corporate website, or school-type headshot.
I do these is two basic ways:
a) In my studio.
b) In your location with my mobile studio.
COVID 19
During COVID I am limited to how many I can handle at my studio.
I work with your staff to ensure COVID protection for all involved whether in my studio or at your location(s).
I follow the Professional Photographers Association Guidelines. I successfully shot in Christiana Mall for the 10,000 Headshots project in July 2020. We set for up to 150 people with no reported incidents. So with a little planning it can be done safely.
I do have a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for on-site vendors. Available upon request.
