Melbourne Workplace Corporate headshot Preparation Checklist

1. Environment Preparation

• Tidy office space: Clear desks, cables, and clutter in advance to avoid items like drink bottles or messy files appearing in photos.

• Company branding display: Appropriately place company logos, awards, or branding elements (such as culture walls).

• Meeting/reception area: Choose well-lit, neatly arranged spaces as the main shooting location.

2. Staff Preparation

• Dress code: Recommended to be uniform or semi-uniform, aligned with company culture (business formal / smart casual).

• Grooming: Remind employees to tidy their hair and wear clean, neat clothing. Avoid large logos or mismatched outfits.

• Shooting schedule: Ideally prepare a shooting order in advance (e.g., executives → department teams → full group photo → workplace scenes) to avoid delays.

3. Shooting Content Reference

• Individual professional portraits: Suitable for websites, LinkedIn, and media use.

• Team/group photos: For departments, project teams, or the whole company.

• Workplace action shots: Examples include meetings, discussions, using computers, or casual interactions.

• Brand display shots: Scenes that include company logos, products, or cultural elements.

4. Practical Coordination

• Time planning: Inform employees of the estimated shooting time to minimize disruption to daily work.

• Lighting and space: Make use of natural light if possible; if the space is dim, notify the photographer so lighting can be arranged.

• Company liaison: Assign a representative to assist with coordinating staff and locations.

5. Bonus Elements (for lifestyle-style photos if required)

• Props: Prepare items such as laptops, notebooks, coffee mugs, or tablets to create a more authentic feel.

• Reference examples: Share photos you like in advance to convey whether you prefer a formal, energetic, or creative style.

• Brand colors: Consider incorporating company brand colors into clothing or decor for visual consistency.
