Laurence Lefebvre · Lamcom
“I was extremely impressed by Nico's professionalism and know how. Getting headshots is never really comfortable because you're always in your head about your appearance but he was able to give me great guidance and make me so relaxed that my picture ended up showing my personality and put my best face forward. I could not be more grateful or ask for more!”
Stefanie Wagner · Sutton Québec

What a corporate headshot session in London includes.

  1. 01

    Studio lighting on location

    A portable setup comes to each site. No fluorescents, no uneven daylight.

  2. 02

    One look across the team

    The same background, light and framing at every location, so a team photographed on two days reads as one set.

  3. 03

    Directed, not posed

    I spend time with each person before the first frame, with quick and specific prompts. The eyes carry the portrait.

  4. 04

    Natural retouching

    Clean edits, polished without looking artificial.

  5. 05

    Delivered in 7 to 10 days

    Two digital sizes per person, high resolution and web-optimised, organised by name, within 7 to 10 business days.

  6. 06

    Returning shoots

    New hires are photographed against the original setup, same light and background, so the team page never drifts.

Common questions

Can you photograph the whole team at our office?

Yes, and most sessions run that way. The studio comes to you: backdrop, lights and a chair set up in a meeting room. A team of thirty fits inside a half day, and a conference station runs all day.

How do you keep headshots consistent across people, locations and return visits?

One setup, measured and noted: the same background, light positions and framing at every location. New hires are photographed against the original setup later, so the team page never drifts.

How long does each person need?

Executives get time rather than a slot. At a conference station, sixty seconds per person is enough for a real expression, because the direction is quick and specific. People who dislike being photographed are most of the job, and the prompts are built for them.

What does the retouching include?

Clean, natural edits: skin, stray hairs, wardrobe and colour, nothing that changes the person. Polished without looking artificial.

What do we receive, and how fast?

Two digital sizes per person, high resolution and web-optimised, organised by name and delivered within 7 to 10 business days. Priority selects can land within 24 hours when an announcement is waiting.

Can we use the images anywhere?

Yes. The licence covers the company's own channels, website, LinkedIn, press and internal communications, with no time limit.

Can the same session go beyond the classic headshot?

Yes. The same session can carry a mix of polished headshots and relaxed, personality-driven portraits, for social media, the website and personal branding.

Are you based in London?

Yes. I am in London and Montréal all the time, and productions run in both. The work holds to the same standard wherever it lands.
