The press-release Portrait & Headshot Photography brief
A press release rewards headshots that shows the whole context, not just a hero angle. In-house comms teams and PR agencies need press-quality imagery that lands with a business editor — the shoot is scoped for The Business Desk, Insider and trade press, not social.
Context
Press-release imagery is a business-desk discipline.
In practice, that means 5–10 retouched headshots per sitter, delivered in colour and B&W. The pack ships with captions and consent notes — the PR team can send it straight out.
