Preparation
Send the headcount, the minutes you expect for each person, the background you want, and whether the file is for a company site, a professional profile, or a performance submission.
Headshots
Professional Headshots
A clear portrait for work or performance, with enough minutes for each person.
Professional headshots at Pinakx Photography are planned portraits for a workplace, a biography, or a performance submission. Corporate headshots and business headshots use the same kind of sitting: a consistent background, a flattering but honest light, and a crop that still looks like the person. The room is a rental or a prepared corner named in the estimate. No walk-in headshot studio is published.
Headshots for companies and for one person.
A company books a block. An individual books a shorter sitting. A headshot photographer needs a realistic number of minutes per person, including a moment to adjust a collar or try a second expression. Modern corporate headshots can be simple and still be carefully lit. They are not a brand film. If the day also needs environmental pictures of the office, add corporate photography only if the estimate gives that work its own time.
LinkedIn, actors, and dancers.
A LinkedIn headshot is usually a friendly, straightforward frame the sitter can publish on a professional profile. Actor headshots and dancer headshots follow the brief you bring: wardrobe changes, a tighter crop, or a second look. The studio does not claim relationships with casting directors. The licence for a performance submission is written in the estimate so you know where the file may go.
How the sitting runs.
The background is a rented studio wall or a prepared corner in an office you can use. Each person is photographed in the clothing they brought, with notes if a company wants matching tones. Business portrait photography that drifts into full-length environmental work is a portrait session, not a headshot block. Use portrait photography when that is the real request.
Preparation, the headshot sitting, and the files.
Session
Each person is photographed in the clothing they bring, inside the block the accepted estimate allows. A team schedule that is too short is not stretched on the day.
Delivery
You receive the number of final portraits and the crop written in the estimate, under the licence written there.
Questions about headshots.
What is included in professional headshots?
The estimate sets the time per person or per group, the background, the number of final portraits, and whether the licence covers a company website, LinkedIn, or a performance submission.
Are corporate headshots and business headshots the same booking?
They use the same kind of sitting. A company books a block for a team. An individual books a shorter sitting. The page treats both as headshots, not as a general brand campaign.
Do you photograph actors and dancers?
Yes, when the brief is a performance headshot. The estimate should say if a specific crop, expression, or wardrobe change is required. The studio does not claim casting-director partnerships.
Can a whole team be photographed in one visit?
Yes, if the schedule gives each person enough minutes. A block that is too short produces rushed portraits. The estimate states the headcount it can actually finish.
Where do headshots happen?
In a rented room or a prepared room the client can use, in the city named on the accepted estimate. No walk-in headshot shop is published.
