Headshots and Portraits: Understanding the Difference

A great professional headshot is your most powerful first impression. Typically framed from the chest up, it’s an expertly crafted image that captures your personality, confidence, and approachability within a polished, professional framework. Focused on you, it’s designed to be versatile and consistent—perfect for your LinkedIn profile, company website, and speaker bios.

A corporate portrait takes this a step further, offering greater creative freedom to tell a more expansive story. It’s a bespoke, editorial-style image where we have more latitude with lighting, composition, and environment (whether in-studio or on-location) to craft a specific narrative about your leadership, your brand, or your unique professional journey.

Think of it as the difference between a perfect, impactful profile picture (the headshot) and a compelling feature in a magazine (the corporate portrait). Both are essential tools, just designed for different contexts.

Your Corporate Portrait Photography Questions Answered

Here are answers to some common questions about our corporate portrait photography services:

What's the main difference between your headshots and corporate portraits?

A headshot is a tightly-cropped photo, usually chest-up against a neutral background, designed for professional profiles. A corporate portrait is a more creative and expansive image that uses advanced lighting, posing, and sometimes the environment to tell a deeper story about who you are as a professional, regardless of whether it’s shot in a studio or on-location.

Where do corporate portrait sessions usually take place?

The choice is yours. We can create compelling environmental portraits at your corporate offices or another on-brand location. Alternatively, for a classic and focused session, you can visit my professional photography studio in Woodstock, Cape Town.

What should I wear for a corporate portrait?

This depends on the brand message you want to convey. We will discuss wardrobe in detail during our consultation to ensure it aligns with the style and goals of the photoshoot.

Who are corporate portraits for?

They are ideal for company leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and any professional who wants to build a strong personal brand and convey more than just a simple likeness.
