There are a wide variety of Business Headshot Backgrounds options for business professionals.
Choosing the correct Business Headshot Backgrounds is an important element to consider for a successful headshot session. Start the photography process with the end goal in mind. What is your purpose of the business portrait?
Think visual communications.
Business Headshot Backgrounds
Your business portrait should showcase your personality and how you want to be perceived. Body language, posture, and expression are factors that go into every session. Your expression should convey trust and confidence. When choosing a corporate headshot background, consider your industry, clothing, and personal characteristics. A professional photographer can assist you with this decision and their lighting skills can also help shape your facial features through photography lighting and posing techniques.
We always recommend defining your requirements. Our studio practices start with basic questions before getting started.

Do you need a Houston professional headshots, business portraits or branding session?
At our studio, we define our sessions in the following ways:
A headshot is a standard head and shoulder photograph commonly used for business purposes.
Typically, our business headshots are photographed on an industry standard solid background such as white, light gray, or medium gray. This type of image is typically being used on a corporate website, team group bio page or social media. This type of session is photographed in studio and completed within 10-15 minutes. The average number of photographs taken during a session is up to 30 images.
Professional Business Portrait
The background is dependent on the look and feel for the final image. Clothing, professional business portrait is a more detailed session requiring a more in-depth stylized studio session.
The business headshot backgrounds is dependent on the look and feel for the final image. Clothing, physical characteristics and type of industry are the deciding factors for background selection. The photography session will typically include multiple head & should and ¾ length poses and tailored to the individual being photographed.
The objective is to incorporate proper body posture and personal mannerisms into the image. It is also common practices for an executive to opt for a formal and casual look for their business portrait session. The background options are more inclusive, and the selections are dependent on the mood we want to convey.
Examples of our business headshot backgrounds include solids colors: black, white, dark gray and a warm earth tone. In addition to our solid backgrounds, we have 10 additional hand painted muslin backgrounds created for business portraits.
On Location Headshot Photographer
A second option is an on location business portrait in which a business portrait session will occur at your location.
In this case, we bring our location photography lighting equipment to your offices for an additional fee. Executives will typically choose a multi look session from formal, casual and to environmental. Environmental means incorporating your office setting as the background.
Examples of environmental backgrounds are boardrooms, production floor, material yard or lobby area. If you are considering location business portraits, we also recommend having other executive leadership members photographed at this time.
A personal branding session is a custom session designed around the person being photographed. For studio branding sessions, the client has the option for multiple outfits changes and studio background options. Prior to the session, we will have discussed the mood and vision for the branding session.
