The same standard, in your other offices

A firm with offices in several cities usually has several photographers' worth of headshots. Worldwide Days take the Standard written in London to each office, so the team page reads as one firm wherever a person sits.

How it is delivered

Every Worldwide Day runs to the firm's Standard: the same lighting diagram, backdrop code, crop and finishing profile as the London days. The photographer is the Managing Director or an associate photographer engaged in that city, briefed to the Standard and working under her direction; where the local rules on paid work by a visitor require the associate to perform the day, that is how it is structured, and the Standard does not change. Every image, wherever it was taken, is finished by the same team to the same specification, so a Geneva file and a London file look like they came from the same hand.

Six questions every buyer asks

What does it cost?

GBP 2,950 plus VAT for a Standard Day of up to 40 people. Everything is priced by the day and sold to the firm; nothing is sold per person.

See all prices

How long is each person away from their desk?

Ten minutes. Five or six of them are in front of the camera; the rest is walking there, approving the frames on screen and walking back.

A day at your office

What does the room need?

A meeting room of about four by three metres with two sockets, and battery lighting if there are none. The studio is up in 30 minutes and down in 20, and nothing is left behind at lunchtime.

The room specification

How quickly do the images come back?

Proofs of the approved frames on the day. The full finished set, in every placement format, through the sitter portal within ten working days.

What finishing involves

What happens when someone joins next month?

Their session is matched to your written Standard, at the next programme day or at a catch-up session, so the new image sits in the set without looking new.

How the programme works

Who else has used you?

Corporate headshot work to date includes a global employment platform, a software company and a multi-family office; a firm is named only once it has agreed in writing. The Managing Director's portrait work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery and her commercial clients include Formula E, Porsche and Aston Martin.

Different rooms, the same eye line.The line is the Standard.

What the firm sees

One portal for the whole roster, with each office's days and each person's status. One agreement and one invoice. The Standard document shared with every office's floor contact so the room is prepared the same way. Local-time booking links and reminders, and the running order in the local office's hands the evening before.

Planning a worldwide programme

Most firms start with London, write the Standard, and add two or three offices in the first year on a two-day visit each. Cities marked "taking proposals" above can be scheduled now; planned cities are opened as the associate network is briefed. Dates are never published: a firm's overseas days are set with the firm, not sold as public sessions.

Questions people ask

Who takes the photographs abroad?

The Managing Director where the calendar and the local rules allow it, and otherwise an associate photographer engaged locally, briefed to the Standard and working under her direction. The Standard document, the lighting diagram and the finishing specification are the same either way, and every image is finished by the same team in London.

Why a two-day minimum outside the UK?

Travel, setup and the Standard are the same whether we photograph twenty people or eighty. Two days make the trip worth the firm's money; a single office of fewer than forty people is usually photographed on one day and the second is given to a neighbouring office or to executives.

How is travel charged?

At cost, itemised on the proposal: flights, accommodation and ground transport, with no mark-up.

Can our local office organise the windows?

Yes. The booking link works the same way in every office, in the local time zone, and the local floor contact receives the running order.
