Do you offer on‑site corporate headshots in Montreal?

How does the process of capturing our company portraits unfold?

To begin, we'll identify the specific type of headshots you require, considering factors such as background preferences or an office environment setting. This decision-making process can be facilitated through a complimentary on-site visit. On the actual day of the shoot, our team arrives approximately 45 minutes ahead of time. We generally set up, at a designated space, similar to a small meeting room (10’x14’). We can adapt to smaller spaces when necessary. Once completed we’ll dismantle our equipment, leaving the space exactly as we found it.

What is the duration for a session of corporate headshots?

Typically, the process of capturing corporate headshots for each employee requires approximately 5-7 minutes. To enhance the experience, we offer the option of bringing an external monitor. This allows individuals to select their preferred photos immediately, eliminating the necessity for administrators to manage choices on behalf of all employees. It's important to consider that incorporating the photo selection step (external monitor) will extend the duration of each session. Therefore, we recommend scheduling employees with a 10-minute gap between sessions to ensure a smooth and relaxed experience.

Will you be retouching the corporate headshots?

Yes, we do offer retouching as a very reasonably-priced upgrade. Many individuals find substantial value in the enhanced, polished appearance of their online headshots when choosing this option. Our approach to retouching is both reasonable and delicate. As a general practice, our retouching process involves subtle enhancements such as softening the skin, lightening shadows under the eyes and whitening teeth. In the event of an unexpected spot or blemish on the day of the shoot, there's no cause for concern, as these imperfections can be addressed and removed during the final editing process. Your satisfaction and comfort with the final result is our priority.

What are your rates for corporate photography?

Our rates start at $525.00, including travel time within the region of Montreal and neighboring regions. This includes a 2 hour on-site photo session. Retouching rates are contingent on the number of employees (if requested). Considering the investment in the time and effort dedicated to having your photo taken, we strongly recommend opting for professional retouching, available through Studio 55, your website administrator, or one of your internal experts.

I’m not photogenic and feel awkward when being photographed.

We certainly understand that you're not professional models. We have extensive experience working with the general public to ensure you feel comfortable and confident. Proven lighting techniques and ongoing guidance when posing will ensure your best features are revealed. The best advice we can give you is to be yourself and stay relaxed.

How can I look good in photos? / What clothes should I wear?

For a professional business headshot, it's advisable to avoid exclusively white clothing. While a white or light-colored blouse or shirt is acceptable, pairing it with a darker jacket or complementary item is preferable. Medium blues and grays, as well as earth tones generally work well. In certain situations, an all-black outfit may be suitable, depending on the preferred company image. Clothing with large stripes or square patterns, as well as overly bright colors should be avoided. Opt for discreet jewelry, although in artistic environments, bolder choices can be appealing. Consider subtle accessories like broches, light scarves, or pocket squares to enhance your professional look. Lastly, if you have a beard, trim it and/or shave it on the day of the photoshoot.

Do you provide makeup/hairdresser services with corporate headshots?

While we typically don't require makeup and hair services, we can book, facilitate, and collaborate with these professionals on your behalf for a seamless experience.

How quickly do we receive our corporate photos?

Following the photoshoot, you can expect to receive an online proof gallery within approximately 3 business days, with expedited delivery available for high-priority requests. Before reaching this stage, the decision regarding whether to proceed with retouching is typically made by the company. In cases where no retouching is necessary, you are free to download all the images directly. For those opting for retouching services, the final image selection is left in the hands of management. Once the chosen images are provided to us, the retouching process begins and may take from 3-5 days, depending on the quantity. Urgent requests can be accommodated with quicker turnaround times.

Do you photograph corporate events?

Yes, we cover conferences, networking events, galas, award ceremonies, and business functions.

Can you provide LinkedIn headshots for teams?

Absolutely. We specialize in executive and employee headshots for businesses of all sizes.
