Business Headshots Tucson

Professional people should have headshots that, at least, look like they were taken by a professional. Fair or not, in the business world, first impressions matter. Your business headshot is often the first thing potential clients, business partners or employers will see. I would love to help make your first impression a positive one! A professional headshot says, you are serious and committed to your profession.

If you will have me, there are two ways I can take your business portraits. You are welcome to come to my home studio, or, if it is more convenient for you, I can come to your home or place of work. The biggest benefit to coming to me is that you can potentially walk away with all you need for as little as $60 plus tax. If there is a downside to coming to my place, it is that you may have to travel a little bit to get here.

"I needed a business head shot and based on the reviews made an appointment with Paul and he did an outstanding job. He takes the time to take a lot of shots and makes sure you are satisfied with the final pictures that he will then edit for the final product. Friendly, professional and most importantly wants to make sure that you are satisfied with the end product."

Backgrounds for Business Portraits and Headshots

If you are a freelancer or work independently of others and need professional headshots to compliment your on line profile and marketing material, the sky is the limit when it comes to choosing a background. But, if you are a business with multiple employees, nothing looks worse, than a bunch of disparate headshots, taken at various locations with different lighting.

Businesses with multiple employees, often want a consistent background for the headshots of all their employees or team members. Look at the samples below. In terms of background, which would coordinate the closest with your end product?

In choosing a background from those I have available, please note that the characteristics of a background can be adjusted to more closely match the color theme you have in mind. This is normally done post-shoot during the editing process, but sometimes it can also be done as the photos are being taken. Just like the appearance of any object outdoors can change with the varying degrees and direction of natural light being cast upon, the same is true in the studio. The brightness can change, even a shift in color can occur, simply by adjusting the direction and or intensity of my background lights. Please keep this in mind, when determining a background suitable for your business portraits.

BLUE MUSLIN

This background is a popular choice with those in the real estate and medical profession. As you can see from the samples shown, the blue tint of the background can easily be altered with Photoshop, to suit your needs. When a company request headshots of multiple people, using the same background, the tint should stay consistent. This is easily achieved during the editing process.

SOLID BLUE

If you prefer a solid blue, I have a deep blue background, which, as you can see from the two samples, can be tweaked to appear turquoise blue. These samples also illustrate the two sides of the face. Many people tell me they look better from their right or left side. Despite this, I still take a few from the side they perceive to be not as good. It comes with your photo session. In the end, customers are often pleasantly surprised at the results, albeit not always.

HEADSHOTS - WHITE BACKGROUND

Corporate headshots with a white background is very forgiving. White coordinates with any color you might want to wear and is a popular modern choice for company websites, business cards and other promotional materials.
By casting less light on a white background, it can also be used to obtain a light gray background.

Will blond hair get lost in a white background? The answer is obvious.

SOLID SHADES OF GRAY

Gray is very versatile and, therefore, very popular with my clients. I probably do about half of all my headshots with the solid gray background. The same background was used with all these photos. The varying shades of gray is obtained by changing the intensity of back light used and color cast during the editing process.

GRAY MUSLIN

This is one of my first backgrounds. It lost popularity. Now, like old hair styles, it seems to be making a resurgence. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. If you do not care for the solid gray, this one offers a little pizzazz. This background can be tinted in almost any direction. At the request of one local law firm, I turn this background brownish, during the editing process, to match the headshots they already had.

BLACK BACKGROUND

Black has a powerful look. The first sample was taken in front of the same black background as the other three. The only difference was a spot light, that can be used to brighten and filter the background a different color, a varied shade of gray in this instance.

HEADSHOTS - BLACK and WHITE

The beauty of having your headshots done in black and white is that you do not have the worry about the coordinating with a background color. In fact, when you take color out of the equation altogether, your photos will coordinate on your walls, website and just about anything you want to use it for. I might be in the minority, but I love the classic black and white look! Not many companies choose it, but some do, especially those who are in an innovative business. Actors, book authors, musicians and various other artists like them too. Also visit my page for Black and White Portraits.

DIGITAL BACKGROUNDS - FOR HEADSHOTS

Digital backgrounds are not backgrounds in the traditional sense. They are actually photographs, I took with the sole purpose of using them as backgrounds for headshots.

Your photos will be taken in front a colored screen, usually green or blue, the same way as with any other studio background. The digital background is added later with Photoshop. Below are samples from my Summer Foliage collection. I am constantly taking random photographs to add to this collection, all the time. When you come over and ask for a summer foliage background, I will show you what I have available. (Do to the extra editing time required with digital backgrounds, there is an additional $10 charge for each.)

Digital backgrounds are not limited to my foliage scenes. They can be indoor scenes, like book shelves and brick walls, too. If I do not have a background consistent with your vision immediately available, in most cases I can produce something close within a few days. Just let me know what you are looking for.

Business Portraits and Business Headshots

The only difference between business portraits and business headshots is the primary focus of the latter is narrowed to show only the head and shoulder area of a subject. In contrast, portraits can focus on the entire body, waist up or just shoulders up. While a headshot is also essentially a portrait, a full body shot cannot be contrued as being a headshot. In any event, I do not charge anymore for one than the other. They are priced the same.

If you have not already done so, please read my page on Business Group Photos, the revised and practical way of
having your group shots taken. You many also want to check my Black and White Portraits and other related headshot links: Head Shots Prices, How to Dress and Prepare, Schedule Appointment.
