Why Hire a Professional Photographer for Your Next Corporate Event
There are a lot of elements that go into planning a corporate event. One element that should never be overlooked, whether it’s a company holiday party, product launch, annual conference, or anything else, is photography.
After putting in all the time, effort, and money to bring your event together, you certainly don’t want to miss out on a chance to record it and reap the benefits of having a collection of quality photos to use in the future. Let’s go over how hiring a professional corporate event photographer will give your next company event an advantage!
Get high-quality photos for future marketing.
Perhaps the most obvious benefit of having a professional photographer at your corporate event is being able to use the images they produce in future marketing content. Attractive visuals of your employees, products, and event will increase exposure for your company and its products or services.
Use event photos for press releases, future event promotion, internal brochures and emails, print ads, website graphics, social media, and much more. These photos will help you show people who you are and build a personalized brand.
Use the opportunity to take individual staff and group headshots.
Headshots are a valuable feature to have for your company website, brochures, and other materials for current and potential clients. Professional photos help clients put friendly faces to your services, making them more likely to choose you for their needs.
A corporate event is an excellent opportunity to take individual and group staff headshots while you have everyone together in one place. At Neil Boyd Photography, we can set up a mobile studio for headshots at your event or take some unique environmental headshots along with your other event photos.
Ensure no part of the event is missed.
You may be thinking, “why can’t I just send out one of my team members with a smartphone to get photos from the event?” Well, first of all, a professional will have the resources to guarantee no moment or person at your event is missed. One employee or friend probably won’t be able to cover everything that happens over the course of the day or night. A professional photographer will have a team for larger events that works to catch everything worth remembering, as well as the time and focus to dedicate solely to event photography.
Another reason a professional is the best choice for your corporate event photography is because they have the training and experience to know what is worth photographing and the best way to capture it.
In North Carolina, Neil Boyd Photography is one of the leading event photographers in the area. We can provide you with professional event photography services for your store opening, product launch, fundraiser, corporate party, or any other noteworthy event.

How to Prepare for Your Professional Corporate Headshots
Getting professional headshots for you and your employees is a great way for businesses to make a good first impression on potential customers. Investing in corporate headshots will also show your staff that you see them as serious and valuable working professionals.
Having a headshot taken may sound simple enough, but there are a few things you and your employees should know in order to get the best results. Keep these tips in mind—and pass them on to your team members—ahead of your corporate headshot session!
Dress to impress.
Most people’s first concern for any photoshoot is usually what to wear. It’s a good idea to choose an outfit ahead of time for your headshots, so you feel confident and prepared the day of. Select something that fits your company’s image but still feels like you. You might even bring more than one outfit to try. Avoid busy patterns and bulky accessories that will distract and overwhelm. Solid colors with high contrast to one another usually end up looking best.
Keep hair and makeup simple.
The goal of any headshot is to capture a photo that’s timeless—something you should keep in mind when styling your hair and makeup. Clean, natural-looking makeup is the way to go. Take special care not to use products that shimmer, sparkle, or even face lotion, as these will reflect on camera and make you look shiny. Choose a simple, polished hairstyle that you like and that frames your features well. For men, any facial hair should be trimmed and cleanly-shaped as well.
Try to stay relaxed and communicate with your photographer during your shoot.
You want your headshots to convey confidence and friendliness, especially if they’re being used for a company website or other marketing materials designed to attract customers. If you’re tense and anxious during your shoot, that’s what is going to read on camera. Communicating with your photographer will help you feel more at ease and make your photos turn out better. Share with them the look and feel you’re going for in your shots, so they can direct you and make you feel comfortable.
