Headshot Options
We do have our own standard House Style for professional headshots.
There are however a number of different style options to choose from. These include options for lighting, background, cropping pose and expression.
We can easily match your existing brand guidelines or work with you to come up with a style that suits your team.
The most important part of any shoot however, is the engagement process used to get people to relax in front of the camera. Something all our photographers excel at.
See more headshot examples on our Portfolio and Out-Takes pages.

Cropping Options
![Crop Examples Crop Examples](https://www.theheadshotguy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Crop-Examples-1.jpg)
We tend to shoot wide with both shoulder in the frame. This way we can crop to wide, square, upright, tight or letterbox shape afterwards
Group Shots
These can be taken "as is" or taken individually and merged post shoot.
