Corporate Photography Services
Corporate Photography for Marketing Teams
Photography of the people, places and work behind your company: headshots and team photos, workplace and culture, leadership portraits, facilities, recruiting and events, with video when you need it. I'm based in St. Louis and work on site nationwide. I photograph every session myself, and on larger productions trusted professionals join under my direction.
What corporate photography covers for a marketing team
Planned around where the images will be used, so one visit can supply the website, careers page, sales decks and social.
People
Headshots and team photos
Matched headshots for every person in every office, five to ten minutes each with coaching and live review. For the team photo you choose: a group photo built from the individual headshots, which can be updated when someone joins, or a traditional group shot taken on the day.
Workplace and culture
Your people, working in your own space
Candid and directed frames of real teams in real rooms, for the website, the careers page, social and the annual report. For RubinBrown I photographed the culture imagery now on its website at the firm's St. Louis office in Clayton.
Leadership
Leadership portraits
More time and more than one look for the people who represent the company in bios, press releases and conference programs. Executive sessions run 30 to 60 minutes and can happen in the office, on location or in the studio.
Facilities and environments
Offices, labs and the spaces clients visit
Lobbies, boardrooms, labs and experience spaces, photographed as architecture and as places where work happens. At Belden's office in St. Louis that meant reception, boardrooms and a dark experience center lit by screens, photographed and filmed in one production day. The film is just below.
Recruiting
Images a candidate reads before applying
Careers pages and job posts work better with your actual team and office than with stock. I plan recruiting frames alongside headshots or a workplace day so the same visit fills the careers page, and add short recruiting video when the page needs motion.
Events
Conferences, annual meetings and celebrations
Coverage of keynotes, panels, networking and awards, with a headshot station on site if you want one. At the US India Business Council's conference in St. Louis I covered the event and ran on-site headshot booths for attendees.
Video
Add video to the same visit
Brand films, interviews and recruiting video, shot by the same person who takes the stills. Belden's film and photo library came out of one day in St. Louis, and the Washington University Neurosurgery research film further down was shot in Dr. Gregory Zipfel's lab at the School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Facilities, workplace and film
Belden in St. Louis, photographed and filmed in one day
Belden's Customer Innovation Gateway in St. Louis: the reception, the boardrooms, an experience center lit by screens, and the space in use. One production day produced the photo library and this forty-second film. The frames under it come straight from the footage.

For Annual Meetings, Summits, and Offsites
Photographing the whole team during an annual gathering
Many distributed companies plan their headshots around an annual meeting, leadership summit, or offsite when the full team is already in one city. We set up a portrait station at the venue and run every attendee through during natural breaks, so the whole company is photographed in one visit instead of a trip to every office.

The Henry David Standard
Brand-Matched Scalability
We build a visual style guide for your company. Three hundred people today or one new hire six months from now, the lighting, crop, and quality are identical.
Logistics-First Approach
From medical campuses to law firm headquarters, we bring the studio to you. We manage the scheduling, the flow, and the coaching so your team doesn't have to.
One Photographer, Everywhere
I photograph every session myself, in St. Louis, Chicago or New York, so the standard does not change between offices. On larger productions trusted professionals join under my direction, and the camera stays with me.
