What should I wear for my Aberdeen headshot?

Avoid busy patterns or large logos that distract from your face. Solid, neutral colours work best. If you are in a corporate role in the Aberdeen energy or legal sectors, traditional business attire is recommended. For a modern look, consider layers like a blazer over a simple top. Ensure clothes are well-pressed; my retouching handles skin, but it cannot fix wrinkled fabric effectively.

How long does a headshot session take?

Individual sessions usually take 30 to 45 minutes, allowing for different poses and looks. For corporate team bookings in Aberdeen, I can work quickly, often taking only 10 to 15 minutes per person to ensure minimal disruption to the working day. This speed does not compromise quality, as I set the lighting and technical parameters before the first subject arrives.

Do you travel to offices across Aberdeenshire?

Yes, I regularly travel throughout Aberdeen and the wider Aberdeenshire area. Whether your office is in the city centre, Kingswells, or Inverurie, I bring all necessary equipment to you. This is the most efficient way to photograph a full team. Travel costs are clearly outlined in the initial quote so there are no surprises when the final invoice arrives.

Can I choose the background for my photos?

Absolutely. I can provide a portable backdrop in white, grey, or black for a clean studio look. Alternatively, we can use your office as an environmental background, which often looks more modern and provides context to your profession. We will discuss these options during the booking process to ensure the final images align with your brand's visual identity.

What is the turnaround time for the final images?

You will receive a link to your selection gallery within 48 hours of the shoot. Once you have selected your favourite images for retouching, the final high-resolution files are delivered within five to seven working days. If you have an urgent deadline for a press release or a new site launch, let me know in advance and I will try to accommodate.

What's included

Each headshot session in Aberdeen is designed to be efficient and high-yield. For individual bookings, you receive a dedicated time slot that allows for outfit changes and varied backgrounds. For corporate teams, I work to a schedule that minimises downtime. The service includes professional retouching as standard. This does not mean heavy filters; it involves correcting temporary skin blemishes, adjusting colour balance, and retouching stray hairs to ensure the final result is polished. Files are delivered via a secure, private digital gallery in both high-resolution for print and web-optimised formats for immediate use on social media and internal systems. You receive full commercial usage rights, meaning there are no ongoing licensing fees for using your images on your website or in marketing materials. I provide a portable studio setup including backdrops if required, or we can use your office environment as a natural, environmental background. This flexibility ensures the aesthetic matches your existing brand guidelines or sets a new standard for your company image.

How it works

The process is straightforward. We start with a brief discussion regarding the look you want to achieve—whether that is formal, business-casual, or something more creative. Following this, we set a date and location in Aberdeen. On the day, I arrive early to set up and test lighting. Each subject is guided through posing to ensure they look comfortable and professional. After the session, you receive a proofing gallery within 48 hours to select your final images. Once choices are made, the professional retouching takes approximately five to seven working days. The final images are then uploaded for you to download directly. For large corporate groups, I can provide a systematic workflow that ensures every staff member is captured consistently, maintaining a uniform look across your entire 'About Us' or 'Team' page. Payments are handled via digital invoice with clear terms and no hidden costs.

Local detail

Operating across the Granite City involves understanding the specific needs of its diverse industries. From the corporate offices at Marischal Square to the engineering firms and energy headquarters in Altens and the Dyce business parks, I am familiar with the logistics of working in Aberdeen’s key commercial zones. If you prefer environmental portraits rather than a plain backdrop, the city offers distinct architectural textures, from the historic grey stone of Old Aberdeen to the modern glass fronts of the Union Terrace Gardens development. Weather in the North East is often a factor for outdoor shoots; therefore, I always have a backup plan involving indoor spaces or portable lighting for consistent results regardless of the North Sea mist. I serve clients across the city centre, the West End, and surrounding areas like Westhill and Bridge of Don. My mobile setup allows me to transform any boardroom or lobby into a professional studio space, saving your staff the time of travelling into the city centre for a photographer.
