Studio Portrait Photographer of the Year, British Institute of Professional Photography - Yorkshire Region -
Every business, big or small, needs corporate photography.
I believe that professional business portraits are an essential marketing asset, whether you are a self-employed and run a business singlehandedly, or if you’re a small to medium sized local enterprise.
Working as a portrait photographer in Leeds, I am proud to have served many local businesses, and would love to work with you too.
I can help you by capturing portraits of you, or of you and your staff. As well as posed individual headshots, I can capture team portraits and more relaxed lifestyle portraits.
A corporate photoshoot can be done either at your business headquarters - whether that’s an office, a factory, a clinic, or a small studio in your back garden for example. Alternatively, we can go out on location – it’s entirely up to you!
There will be many occasions when you’ll be required to provide photographs of yourself and the people working with you in the business (if there are any). Therefore, there will be many potential uses for the photographs once you have them.
After a photoshoot with me, you’ll come away with a variety of images that you can use time and time again throughout the months and years ahead.
With a range of professional images at your disposal, you’ll have plenty of visuals to share. You can use them on your website, on your social media channels and much more!

Naturally, as a small business owner or head of a local business, you’ll want to create a favourable impression in the minds of your target customers. After all, the first impression that potential clients or customers get of your business is important.
When someone first encounters your business online, they will decide in a matter of seconds whether or not they want to stick around to find out more. Professional photography can really help to portray your professionalism and create the wow factor!
Eye-catching, compelling photography shows your business in the best possible light and makes that great first impression that you aspire to give. It also elevates your brand in the eyes of your target customers and clients.
Ahead of a corporate photoshoot, I will work closely with you to plan the photos. I get to understand the story that you’re keen to tell about your business, and work to ensure that this shines through in your images.
"Andrea's talent just shines through in all of her photographs! We booked her for a work team session to take photographs for our website. Andrea had lots of ideas and worked very quickly to implement them. The team felt at ease and it resulted in some great photos that we will be able to use for years to come. Highly recommend Andrea, not only is she a great photographer but she is extremely lovely and will do everything she can to make the process run smootly. Thank you!" - Eve, Luscombe Gray Solicitors, Harrogate
To consistently attract potential customers or clients, you’ll need your business to be visible.
No doubt your marketing strategy includes social media marketing, and you already post on platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.
To be seen on these platforms though, you’ll need to be regularly sharing high-quality content, ideally including imagery of you and your products or services.
A corporate photoshoot with me will give you plenty of images for you to use in your marketing over time. You could use and share the images on your website, on social media channels, use your headshots as your profile picture on LinkedIn and more.
After a photoshoot, you’ll be able to create months’ worth of marketing content to promote your business, and then reuse these over time too!
"I contacted Andrea to come and take some professional picture of our office. Everything about the process from initial contact to meeting in the office and getting the pictures done was easy. I have now seen the pictures and I am blown away - she has captured our team perfectly and I couldn’t be happier.’" - Claire Morritt, Webanywhere, Leeds
Even if you’ve previously invested in professional photography, you’ll want to update your marketing materials regularly. My recommendation is that you should consider investing in new photography at least every two years.
New business photographs can help to freshen up the overall look and feel of your brand and marketing materials.
Not only that, they are essential if there have been personnel changes within the company and you need headshots of the current team.
You may also have made changes in your business and need photographs to reflect that. You might have had a rebrand, moved to a new office or location, or perhaps your team has grown.
I can work with you to create new headshots and lifestyle portraits to suit your specific requirements.
Typically, on a business or corporate photoshoot, I capture headshot portraits of key staff as well as coordinate team photos.
The headshot portraits can be done against both a plain background and in situ in your working environment if suitable. This then gives you a variety of pictures to use.
I also can take relaxed lifestyle portraits, either at a business headquarters or out on location. The examples I’m sharing here show you the type of images that I can create.
I would welcome the opportunity to photograph you and your team if you’re a business based within 20 miles of Wetherby, near Leeds.
"Andrea was fantastic with all members of staff and put them at ease throughout the shoot. The photographs capture our individual personalities but remain professional. Highly recommend Andrea for corporate photography." - Sarah, Websters Interiors, Leeds
I hope that the photographs and the information I’ve shared here has helped you to understand why you might want to invest in new business photography.
I really believe that whatever the size of your business, corporate headshots and business photography is something that you should prioritise.
