Corporate Portraits vs. Professional Portraits: What’s the Difference?

At CatMax Photography, we know what it’s like to pour your heart and soul into your work, for it to be an extension of yourself. That’s why we’re passionate about portraiture and making it easy for employers and working professionals to receive polished business portraits that also showcase personality and authenticity.

If you follow CatMax Photography on social media and subscribe to our newsletter, you’ve probably heard about the Professional Portrait Days we host throughout the year and have seen references to our Corporate Portrait services. Though the services have similar names and are similar offerings, they’re customized to meet the needs of two different groups of clients.

We’ll start with these since you’re likely most familiar with them. Professional Portrait Days are half-day or full-day photo shoots for businesspeople who want updated headshot, full-body, and/or ¾-length images of themselves.

A venue such as ADAC or AmericasMart Atlanta will host the event, but it’s open for anyone to attend. We divide the day into 40-minute time slots that are booked in advance and include access to a professional makeup artist 20 minutes before getting in front of the camera (a little powder goes a long way—even for the guys). Attendees can also take advantage of multiple backdrops, chairs, stools, and other props and select their top photos in real-time.

While the music is bumpin’ and people are preparing for their turn, they often have a chance to chit-chat and network with each other and enjoy a sweet treat provided by the CatMax team. The goal is always to provide a fun, convenient, and affordable way for everyone to receive high-quality business portraits so they can kiss those old LinkedIn photos goodbye!

You’ll find the same commitment to convenience and ease in our Corporate Portrait service, a private version of our Professional Portrait Days. This package is an excellent all-in-one for employers looking to have photos taken of their team as a group and individually for their website, ID badges, business cards, etc. In addition to coming to you and providing everything needed for the shoot, we’ll account for your branding, ensuring that the look and feel we create match it and that the photos have a sense of uniformity without sacrificing individualism.

We’re also experts in time management and photographing a high volume of people efficiently while guaranteeing that everyone’s enjoying themselves. Photo selection also happens on the spot.

Many corporate clients book with us multiple times throughout the year, so they immediately have photos of new staff that are cohesive with the rest of the company’s images.

So, whether you’re a team of 1 or 100, we have an option for you. To find out when the next Professional Portrait Day will be held, sign up for the CatMax Photography newsletter by clicking here. To book the Corporate Portrait package, click here.
