"Photography is not just taking a pretty picture, it is about telling a story."

 

Traditional Studio Headshots vs Environmental Business Portraits

Have you ever wondered about when to choose traditional studio headshots and when to choose environmental business portraits? Have you thought about where each should fit in your personal brand or business?  As professional headshot photographers, we get a lot of questions on how our clients can make the most out of their headshots and how headshots can mean the difference between connecting with your customer base vs losing followers. 

Traditional Studio Headshots

First, let's start with traditional headshots. You might be more familiar with these as they are typically close up portraits with clean and uncluttered backdrops. These headshots allow you to maintain a clean image that can maintain consistency between multiple employees. They are free from distraction so that the viewer focuses on your face, and you can directly create a connection with your audience. 

Environmental Business Portraits

Environmental business portraits, on the other hand, give you the amazing opportunity to tell your story with carefully selected and staged props and scenery. Todd Wheatland, Global Head of Strategy for a marketing agency, once said, 

"Leverage the strength that you have; NO ONE ELSE CAN BE YOU."

In following Todd's advice, environmental business portraits allow you to create images that make an impact, express your personality, and connect to your audience on an even deeper level. 

In Conclusion

Both traditional studio headshots and environmental business portraits have a place and time within your brand and business. So whether you need realtor headshots, acting headshots, headshots for small business owners, or work for the government, a government contractor, or large corporation, our headshot photography studio will make sure that you are getting the diverse selection you need to tell your story just the way you want.
