Corporate Portraits in Houston

Professional Corporate Headshots

Houston Corporate Photographer, Michael Carr, CPP, is recognized as one of Houston’s leading professional portrait photographers. The images we create make statements about the individual being photographed. A focus on clothing, expression, body posture all play a key role into the creation of the final corporate portrait image. An image with the incorrect expression can often do more harm than good. When seeking business corporate portrait services, carefully review websites for clothing harmony, body language, confidence and an overall sense of approachability.

Michael Carr is a full time portrait artist located in a commercial building within the Galleria area. Visit MichaelCarr.Photography to preview our business portfolio and background gallery. Call 713-461-2862 to schedule your session today.

High End Realtor Headshots: The Difference With Hiring a Professional

Upon completion of your real estate course and certification, the task of creating your marketing plan is on the horizon. A professional business portrait of yourself should be a key element of your marketing plan. This is called “Self Branding.” You are now marketing yourself and services to your current and your desired audience. Why not seek a professional photographer to help create a portrait that depicts why people should trust you over someone else in a competitive market?

A professional business portrait can separate you from the masses. During your business portrait session as well as during image selection phase, careful attention is needed to analyze what this image ultimately conveys about you.

Unfortunately not all business portraits and business headshots are created equally.
Onsite “Cattle call sessions” are hit and miss and often times result in a negative experience. We have heard from our clients that have been through an experience of an onsite “cattle call” or the company just going with the cheapest person for the photography job, and the results of either is often times less than desirable. Save yourself time and patience and hire a professional photographer who specializes in portraiture. You have earned your credentials and now is the time to invest in yourself by demanding quality professional photography that speaks volumes about you.

Here are a few common amateur business pictures shortcomings, and what to look for:

• Harsh or flat lighting
• Improper posing, which can add weight to the person in the image
• Busy backgrounds that distract from the subject
• Clothing not adjusted
• Digital retouching is non-existent or overpowering

In a digital age where searching for services is occurring during all hours of the day, it is key to have your best image forward at all times.

What is your headshot saying about you?

Creating a personal marketing toolkit can be essential when seeking a career change. A professional business headshot can give you a competitive edge up on the competition. Hiring professionals and company recruiters are seeking like-minded polished professionals. Is your headshot current and up to date? If it is more than 2 years old, it is time to refresh and update your business headshot. Times have changed and so have industry markets; be prepared and proactive. Self image is self -branding, so put you best face forward online and in face to face meetings.

Here are some helpful tips for your headshot:

1. Hire a professional photographer who specializes in photographing business professionals. Different lighting techniques can add or subtract weight to a subject. Proper posing is also key.

2. Business portrait highlights: Proper attire, proper posing, proper expression for your industry are also paramount for your business headshot.

3. Retouching is available in today’s digital age. Common retouching typically includes removal of facial shine, minor stray hair removal, soften facial lines and blemish imperfections.

4. Know your digital file requirements. Saving your files in the correct file format and size can save you time and frustration while uploading files online.

5. Research and identify your individual photography style as not all headshots are created the same.
