Christopher Barr Photography, Corporate Headshots Portfolio of Phoenix Corporate Photographer

Great corporate headshots are about energy and personality communicated quickly and powerfully…even more importantly, It is about strategic imagery…creating headshots that you wanted vs. settling for headshots that you got!

Corporate headshot photographers create one of the most important marketing tools for any business. Often, it is the photographic "face" of the business. In a instant, recognition is establish along with a host of subliminal impressions that may or may not brand the person or company as expected or desired.

What really separates good corporate photographers from great ones is their ability to produce a business headshot that creates the impression required by that business in a predictable, consistent and powerful way. Shooting corporate photography requires a unique combination of technical & aesthetic expertise but more importantly to the end result, is a deep level of understanding and experience with people.

The most important element of any corporate headshot is not primarily about "photographic technique". It is about how well it communicates subject personality. Practically speaking, the best executive headshot photographers all have in common the ability to put people at ease quickly. If the personality of the executive or employee looks distant or flat, no amount of great lighting or high end digital equipment will make it a more compelling portrait.. proverbially its like putting lipstick on a pig. But if the personality of the subject resonates immediately with the viewer, great lighting and photography technique becomes the icing on the cake.

While our people skills are our single greatest photographic asset, our technical skills are a result of almost two decades of experience shooting corporate photography. We produce business headshots with consistently high production values for corporate advertising photography, website photography and print collaterals.

There are few facial or body issues that we cannot fully address. There are few corporate personality "types" that we are not familiar with shooting. We specialize in photographing people who are uncomfortable with or even dislike the process. It is a necessary evil for many.

While there are more issues like this that people have in common when having their pictures taken…we are also acutely aware of what they don't have in common. For example, shooting a captain of industry requires a different approach or skill set than shooting those that work for them.
