A leadership biography needs more context than a small staff thumbnail. A team photograph needs everyone arranged well, with a background that supports the organisation. We plan those images together so individual portraits, department groups and wider team photographs feel connected.

A REAL CAMERA GUYS PROJECT
Portraits within a wider organisational shoot
The Hive Kids booking included individual staff portraits for its website, alongside activity photography and video. It demonstrates the portrait element of a broader content day; it is not presented as a formal corporate group commission.
List the groups before the shoot: leadership, departments, project teams or the full organisation. Check availability and nominate someone who can gather people. A planned sequence reduces waiting and helps us keep the session within the time people can spare.
02
Use the workplace with intention.
Environmental portraits can show a person where they work, using space and background details to explain their role. We check the location for distracting signage, sensitive material and practical access. Where you simply need repeatable profile pictures, dedicated headshot photography keeps the brief focused.
03
Leave room for how the image will be used.
A group image across a website banner needs a different arrangement from a portrait in a printed report. Share the intended dimensions, any space needed for text and whether multiple crops are required. We agree image selection, finishing and file versions before delivery.

PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Corporate Portraits & Team Photos: your questions.
Can you photograph a large group?
Share the headcount and location. We will assess the space, access and arrangement before agreeing the setup.
Can you combine individual and group portraits?
Yes. Both need time in the schedule, with the order planned around staff availability and the chosen locations.
What if somebody cannot attend?
Tell us beforehand. A separate session may be possible; adding somebody digitally to a group is not an automatic inclusion and needs a specific discussion.
Can we use an outdoor setting?
Yes, if the location suits the brief. We agree a weather fallback and check that everyone can access the chosen area.
