Miami Headshot Photography Backgrounds

WHAT IS A BACKGROUND?

Simply put, a background is what is behind the subject in a photo. It is usually out of focus, keeping the attention on the subject. Backgrounds can be backdrops — solid or printed materials used by portrait photographers — or they can be environmental, meaning the photo shows what the person is in front of. You can read more about environmental portraits here; in this article we will focus on studio backdrops, which are solid pieces of fabric or paper photographer’s use for studio photography.

VERSATILITY OF THE WHITE BACKGROUND

For business portraits, 80% of our clients choose a white backdrop. With adjustments to our lighting set-up, we can achieve a “soft white” or a “high key white” background. The white is very versatile and works with all skin and hair tones, and makes it easy to see the subject when the image appears small on screen. Fair skinned people, or those with light hair, may worry they will look washed out, but proper lighting and professional execution ensures everyone looks their best.

DARKER BACKDROPS

For companies who don’t want white, we have several different grays as well, from light to dark. A black backdrop, also described as “low key”, can be used with creative lighting techniques for more dramatic portraits.

MATCHING YOUR BRAND IDENTITY

If you have a brand color for your corporate identity, let us know and we can work with you to find a backdrop that matches or accentuates that color. If you have any backdrop requests that require us to special order a specific color, please provide us with that information at least two weeks prior to your headshot session.

The Benefits of Professional B2B Photography

Consistent and Matching Images

Gustavo Fernandez Photography knows that when photographing company headshots, consistency is key. Subjects will have your specific look and lighting, every single time. Each portrait will not only look great on its own, but will be part of a cohesive set of images with the same specifications, all tailored to match your brand. As you expand and hire new employees, each one of them will also have a matching headshot, even across different locations.

Professionalism And Communication

We understand what companies are looking for – you need a photographer who is professional, personable, responsive, and competent. The process should be seamless and stress-free from photo shoot to delivery, with a quick turnaround. You won’t need to hand-hold; once we have a mutual understanding of what you want, we will deliver, every time.

We Can Help You Look Your Best

Your staff may not feel “camera ready” or maybe no one really wants their photos taken, but Gustavo makes the process quick and painless. Proper lighting, posing, and a little Photoshop come together to enhance the best traits, and we will be sure to capture natural smiles. We even offer a professional hair and makeup artist to give each team member a quick touch up before they step in front of the camera, if you choose to add it.

Traveling Photo Studio

Instead of taking hours out of your work day for photos, GFP comes to your workplace, and sets up a mini studio in your conference room, so each staff member only needs to miss about 15-20 minutes of billable time. Not only does this save you time and money, but it makes the task seem much less daunting, and remains easy to keep up with as you hire new team members.

Elevate Your Brand

Photography is an important marketing tool, and your headshots are a large part of how you present your business, both on your company website and on social media. Invest in your image and elevate your brand perception with quality headshots.

When was the last time you had professional headshots taken?

Great headshots are absolutely essential as a thriving professional in today’s digital world, and they’re the most important component for making a captivating first impression.

 

As your photographer, my goal is to make you shine in front of the camera and capture your essence — creating inviting photos that attract your ideal clientele.

A headshot is a photograph of one’s head and shoulders, with the main focus of the image being the face. Photos often feature a solid or neutral background, and can be cropped vertically or horizontally.
