Portrait & Headshot Photography for law firms and professional services
The reason headshots works on a professional firm is the mix of ground stills, wide context and a controlled aerial pass. Professional-services imagery is mostly a people problem: a consistent partner and associate set that still looks like the same firm when someone joins eighteen months later.
