Headshots Sydney

It's that time of year to update your headshot! The new year brings new staff and new marketing budgets and new business growth. So it's very important that your company presents its staff in the best possible way. The photo studio offers several types of business portraits. From the classical headshot to creative environmental portraits photographed on location in the streets of Sydney. We can photograph one key business person right through the entire staff in the business. The studio can also photograph your corporate portrait in your own office. We will bring all our professional lighting and background system and set up your own portrait studio in your boardroom. How easy and efficient is that.

The business portrait photography session below is a great example of what can be achieved in a couple of hours. We can do mix portraits. Like Headshots and the enviromentlal portraits and also team shots of the staff working. This is Jan Mcleod, have a look at her website The Capacity Equation. Jan contacted the studio because she needed to update her corporate profile. Jan also needed a range of photographs of herself for all aspects of her business. She needed the portraits to help market the business. The end use of her portraits will be for the Website, Linked In headshot, social media like Facebook and Instagram. Jan is a coach, mentor, speaker and consultant specialising in the areas of high performance, wellbeing and change strategy. So she also needed a new look for her bussiness coaching and event/conference speaking roles. In business, your have to look professional and yet approachable too.  I believe we achieved exactly that. 

Personal Branding Portraits

Your personal branding is your image and this how your clients see you and make opinions about yourself and your business. I create personal branding photography shoots for business executives and entrepreneurs, who wish to stand out from the crowd. For each personal branding portrait session, I liaise with the client in great detail prior to the shoot. We discuss many aspects about themselves; their business and we go into great detail as to their specific needs for the photographs. How Mackintosh Photography is different to other portrait photographer’s is your personal branding photography shoot isn’t just glamour portrait. Our images are about you and your business. Our portraits will convey integrity, honesty and show what you do and how you relate to your clients. The location for the photo shoot needs to relate to you, often at your place of work, consulting with a client and having some time out with a coffee. Remember these branding images are all about you and how the world see’s you. We can help consult with about your wardrobe choices and we can arrange professional hair and make up to.

These images captured below are of Laurel Grey from an amazing company called Happily Organised in Sydney’s CBD. Laurel is a wonderful client to work and collaborate with. If you need more organizing in your business I can highly recommend Happily Organised.  

Creative Business Portraits - inner city Sydney

When Greg Masters contacted me for some corporate portrait photography of himself I was currently overseas. But not to worry I emailed Greg some information about how I worked and the concepts for the photo shoot. He was referred to me by another client of mine. So Greg was more than happy to wait till my return from overseas. Greg was an ideal client because he knew he didn't just want the standard LinkedIn Headshot, he required some creative and alternative images of himself for his business's website and social media. The photography shoot in the inner city took about 80 minutes and the location was at Greg's uber cool New York Style apartment and in the streets of Redfern. 

Greg has more than 25 years experience consulting to government and community sectors. He is passionate about making a difference and helping organisations change for the better. Visit Nexus to learn more about how he can assist your organization. 

Corporate Headshots Sydney - Circular Quay

As a professional photographer who has been photographing people for over 12 years, I love to inspire my clients to push the boundaries of what a professional corporate portrait or headshot can be. Yes I do photograph professionals in my Sydney studio in Rozelle with various backgrounds and studio lighting. But what I love the most is photographing corporate portraits on location and often outside. These days your business profile portrait for LinkedIn and social media doesn't just have to be a really close shot of just your head. I can photograph you in a various photo locations and styles to create a portfolio of images with different looks and styles. The reason for this is to give you a creative mix of images which you can uses for different professional purposes.

Another very important difference between Mackintosh Photography and other photography studios is that your portrait absolutely has to look like who you really are! Not an over photoshopped and retouched plastic version of yourself. People need to see the real you to build trust in your personal image and company branding and ethos. Having said that I do retouch my clients' business portraits, however naturally and subtly. But most importantly I don't change who you are. 

The images below are from a photography portrait shoot from last week. The client was Laurel Grey from Happily Organised. Laurel was the perfect client; we happily collaborated together on the looks and styles of portraits she required. Then it was up to me to photographically create images to match the looks and purposes of the images she needed.

Laural even gave the studio a testimonial our FaceBook Page. Justin gives personal and professional service - I needed some new corporate shots and he innately knew the right spot at Circular Quay. We got great shots in under 40 minutes - easy and painless! Thank you!
