How Matt Vas Photography Works With You On Your Corporate Headshots
Corporate headshots might look easy. Anyone with a smartphone could fancy themselves a professional corporate headshot photographer, but the true secret is not the device, but rather who’s in command of it. Corporate headshots are harder than they appear. Subjects need to be at ease. To take a good corporate portrait, you need to be aware of your surroundings to locate where your subject will look their best. You need to make them feel at ease so that you can capture their inner spark. That’s when you can achieve true authenticity and capture real people looking their finest in a work setting.
While each client has unique requirements, here’s a guide handy headshot photo guide on how we will work with you on your project:
The Best Corporate Headshots Tell a Story
Every portrait tells a story. From the boardroom to the construction site, in an industrial or rural setting or atop a steel and glass tower, everyone no matter their setting wears the road they travelled.
It’s those stories I love to tell. The hard-working building crew make for gritty headshots. The polished corporate types exude success. The techie, the tradies, the marketers, they all have stories waiting to be shared.
Great corporate headshots do require planning. You want your subjects to feel at ease, so you want to make sure you’re there early to scope out the location for the best photo opportunities and so that your audience isn’t waiting for you to turn up. Once you’re in the moment and capturing those stories, you want to keep things relaxed and with a decent to pace to keep things moving along. Afterall, sitting for portraits isn’t going to make anyone’s day, so it’s best to get the perfect shot and to get out!
Some of my Favourite Headshots
I’ve had the privilege of photographing some famous and many everyday persons. Australians of the Year, prime ministers, movie stars, athletes, even a reality show host who became the most powerful man in the world. The famous folk know the drill. You’re likely one of many photographers taking a picture of their mug and time is short, and they’re used to it; probably over it. Everyday people on the other hand won’t get their picture taken every day, it’s very important to them and they want to get it right.
I have always been able to make most everyone comfortable and relaxed being in front of the camera with me. It’s as much a conversation as it is capturing an image that represents them. Even with a few short moments, making a connection with someone is vital, no matter if I am at your office capturing 5 people or there to capture 500. Everyone gets the same love and attention, it’s all part of being a photographer and communicator.
If you want to read about my most famous faces, you can do that here (insert link to myself), however I am most proud of my everyday people from the likes of Sydney University, Genworth, Geodata, NGH Consulting, Keller, and many, many more.
It is working with these businesses to produce new corporate headshots on an ongoing basis that fit a brief and make it an enjoyable experience that keeps me looking to add new clients to capture corporate headshots here in Sydney and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions About Corporate Headshots
Do you have an Out of Hours (or After Hours) rate?
No, I don’t, my rates don’t change for out of hours. We shoot when it’s required, you will find in my rate sheet that I have extra hours. Meaning we can add an hour to a half day or full day shoot before we roll over into the next billing amount.
Where can I use the images?
Essentially most anywhere, I am always happy for a client to use them in their internal/external marketing, on websites, in social media and in brochures. If you are going to put them on a billboard or the side of a bus then maybe we need to talk further but that will have likely already happened.
Why should we use you?
When you are looking for the right person to deliver in these areas you’ve found me. Not all photographers are the same just like anything you get what you pay for so make sure you are paying for the right photographer who goes above and beyond to understand your story before we pick up a camera or choose a location.
