Taking a corporate portrait can be tricky business for amateur photographers. In this article, we will be going over our top 11 corporate portrait photography tips to getting the perfect shot and make your photos stand out. We will go through basic technical details like like lightning and exposure, as well as location, backgrounds, and how to encourage your subjects to be comfortable and have the right attitude for a corporate portrait.
1. Decide on a Location
You’ll need to shoot at a place with plenty of light, but also shade to deflect the glare of the sun. For a better photo, you should look for spots where there is soft light, where there are gentler transitions and fewer shadows. You can use an umbrella to deflect natural light to your subjects. If the customers decide they want portraits taken outside, the best time of day to shoot your corporate photo is an overcast day; when the sun is highest in the sky, look for a shaded location where you can place your photo’s subject.
