What should you expect when hiring a professional commercial portrait photographer when it comes to head shots in the workplace/office?
Here are five points that come naturally with every photographer within the Commercial Photographers Network (CPN). Images supplied by our Bristol member, Lindsay Fowke on a recent corporate headshot project recently.

1. Technical expertise: A professional commercial portrait photographer is expected to have technical expertise in lighting, composition, and post-processing. They should be able to capture a high-quality headshot that is well-lit, well-composed, and well-edited.
2. Professionalism: A professional photographer should conduct themselves in a professional manner, be punctual, and respect the client’s time and space. They should also have good communication skills and be able to give clear instructions to their subjects.
3. Attention to detail: A good commercial portrait photographer should have an eye for detail, paying attention to the small things that can make a big difference in the final image. They should be able to spot and correct any flaws or imperfections in the subject’s appearance, such as stray hairs or wrinkles.
4. Ability to work with people: A commercial portrait photographer should be able to put their subjects at ease, make them feel comfortable in front of the camera, and bring out their best features. They should also be able to work with people from different backgrounds and professions and tailor their approach to suit each individual.
5. Creativity: A professional portrait photographer should have a creative vision and be able to come up with ideas for unique and visually interesting headshots. They should also be able to adapt to different environments and make the most of the available resources to create stunning images.
