How I Delivered a 5-Star Corporate Headshot Session in Just One Hour

Corporate Branding Photography for a Local Financial Firm – A Behind-the-Scenes Look at a 5-Star Experience

When a client leaves a thoughtful Google review, it means a great deal. It shows they didn’t just enjoy the photos — they valued the experience enough to log in, reflect, and share their feedback publicly. That’s exactly what happened after a recent corporate branding shoot for a local financial firm.

“Paul was great, professional, timely and full of ideas and willing to go to extra lengths to get the best shots and in the perfect environment.”

Paul Eason - Director and Financial Advisor

The Brief

The firm needed fresh headshots and team photographs but had a very limited amount of time. Their staff usually work across two locations — Market Harborough and Warwick — but were all gathering in Rugby for their Christmas meal. We had a one-hour window to capture everything professionally and efficiently.

The Challenge

The shoot required:

  • A central location

  • Fast setup

  • Consistent lighting and styling

  • Smooth direction

  • Zero delays

  • A quick turnaround for delivery

With everyone travelling to a single point, the session had to run precisely on schedule.

Jon Stephenson, Financial Advisor

The Solution

To keep the entire process hassle-free for the client, I organised the full setup:

  • Sourced and booked a suitable office space in Rugby

  • Arranged the meeting point and prepared the room in advance

  • Set up a professional lighting layout tailored for streamlined headshots

  • Directed the team clearly to keep the session flowing

  • Captured all required headshots and team images within the hour

Once the shoot was complete, the team headed to their Christmas meal while I packed down and returned to begin editing.

Premium Turnaround

They needed the final images quickly for internal and marketing use, so I provided a 7-day premium delivery. This included:

  • Polished corporate headshots

  • Team photographs

  • Clean, consistent colour grading

  • Files optimised for both print and web

A Professional, Stress-Free Experience

Branding sessions with multiple staff can easily become chaotic if not tightly managed. By handling the logistics, organising the environment, and running an efficient workflow, I ensured the team could simply arrive, be photographed, and continue their day without disruption.

Their 5-star review reflects that smooth experience.
