Professional Business Portraits for Women

Houston business portrait photographer, Michael Carr, CPP, is a full time professional photographer specializing in headshots for Houston professionals. This month, we are announcing a new background that has been added to our corporate gallery. If you are looking for a background that commands attention, I would recommend our gradient dark background, which is shown here. When lit correctly, the end results are bold and powerful. This background is quickly becoming a favorite among clients.

In-studio Portrait sessions are ideal for busy female professionals. At Michael Carr Photography, we offer a professional studio within a commercial office building. Amenities include a controlled environment, a full dressing room, wifi, and on-set viewing of your session images as they are being captured. Each Women’s Casual Business Portrait begins with a consultation to discuss your session goals, where the images will be used for marketing collateral, and what format and sizes are required for final images. At the end of your portrait session, you will review your images and make your selections. A digital artist will edit your final images in digital enhancement software to soften puffiness under the eyes, minimize smile lines and refine your portrait.

If you need to update your profile portrait or would like to add a look to your existing image catalog, contact us or call us today to schedule your business headshot at 713-461-2862.

Houston Corporate Business Headshots

Question: would you wear old unpolished shoes with a new untailored suit to an interview? Obviously not, on the contrary, your goal is to present yourself in the best possible way. Something to consider, your corporate online image is being viewed 24-7 by industry professionals.

In terms of professional corporate business headshots, your online corporate portrait is a form of personal branding. People look at your online bio image and this may be their first impression of you. Your corporate image needs to be polished, professional and convey the best first impression possible.

Today’s business market is competitive. So called “photographers” are flooding the industry daily. You must do your research and look at online portfolios and online reviews to see the difference for yourself. Please do not be someone’s “Test subject”. Seek a professional photographer whose specialty is portraiture. Your business online presence is far more important than just shopping around for the cheapest price.

As in the above scenario, why would you put a corporate image of yourself online with poor lighting, bad posture and no facial or clothing retouching? Do your homework before having your business portrait taken. We always recommend a consultation before your session so your clothing and image are conveyed through your image brand. Our portrait lighting is consistent in studio as well as on location. With Michael Carr’s extensive knowledge in portraiture, you will receive a facial analysis before your session so you are photographed in the correct lighting scenario to best compliment your facial features and bone structure.

Carr Portraits is a full time commercial studio with over 20 years of portraiture experience. We specialize in all forms of portraiture with an emphasis in corporate portraits. Call us today to reserve your appointment at 713-461-2862.

With a competitive real estate market and an abundance of realtors on the playing field, individual realtors need to separate themselves from the masses. Digital image and brand marketing both play a major role in today’s online presentation. From visual design and imagery to website content and visual communication, all of these topics are critical factors to consider when evaluating your online presence.

The bar has been raised from “self taken or selfie” pictures to the expectation of having a polished professional business portrait for your profile picture. The real estate market is saturated with agents so you need to ask yourself: What makes you different when there are only a few seconds of a first impression encounter?

Visual communication is critical. Marketing yourself effectively and separating yourself from others can be a quick fix. If you seek and cater to high-end clients then you must present yourself in such a manner that reflects your target market. You must evaluate your online presence and your website and insure you have a polished professional real estate headshot. Some higher end real estate agents not only have an in studio business portrait, but also have us go on location to one of their higher end listings and have us photograph an environmental business portrait as well. By doing this, realtors have a portfolio of options of business portraits for their marketing campaigns. The real estate market has its own unique style of branding. Create a business image or a brand that reflects your personality.

To discuss your business real estate headshots and options for your business portraits, call the studio at 713-461-2862. We can help you formulate your plan for your headshot images to stand out from the masses. You can view our portfolio here. Our studio is conveniently located near the Galleria area, and close to 610, I-10 and 59, so there is easy access from those freeways.

Corporate Portraits in Houston

Do you need a new or an updated professional business portrait? Below are a few key elements that help create professional corporate portraits.

1. Professional lighting – Your photographer needs to have a solid knowledge of how to use professional lighting equipment and needs to know when to add or subtract light quickly and effectively. This is crucial since lighting can add or subtract weight in a subject’s face.

2. Posing – Your photographer should guide you through your session and make subtle movements to your poses or body position. Certain poses can help with sliming the subject’s body, as well as the face.

3. Expression – A professional photographer must be able to verbally create a desired expression in a short window of time. Your image should reflect approachability, and confidence.

4. Lens selection – Correct lens selection is a critical element to a business portrait session. Selecting the incorrect lens could add weight to a subject or compress an image to where it is unpleasing to the eye.

5. Attire – We recommend professional attire specific for your industry. A good rule of thumb is to wear what you would to an important sales meeting or an interview. Still need help with this? We can assist with clothing selection should you opt to bring in a few clothing options for your session.

6. Digital Retouching – This option is not meant to correct bad photography or poor lighting. Retouching a tool used to remove blemishes, stray hairs, whiten teeth or smooth facial lines. The digital retouching on your final image should be subtle and the image should still look like you.
