( 02 ) Pricing logic
The right headshot budget depends on the number of people and how consistent the final team page needs to look.
Individual headshot pricing is simple. Company headshot pricing is different because the final asset is a consistent visual system: the same lighting, crop, retouching standard, backdrop, file naming, and delivery structure across a whole team.
The biggest variables are subject count, location, hair and makeup, retouching level, same-day proofing, number of final selects per person, and whether the company needs a repeatable new-hire setup. A team of 12 has a different cost structure from a 90-person office refresh.

( 03 ) Cost drivers
What affects the headshot quote.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. The list below ships with every project regardless of tier.
- 01 / 6
Subject count
The number of people photographed drives schedule length, assistant needs, proofing time, and retouching volume.
- 02 / 6
Setup type
Studio, office backdrop, environmental office portraits, and executive editorial portraits all require different lighting plans.
- 03 / 6
Retouching
Natural retouching is included, but heavier executive polish or multiple final selects per person increases post-production time.
- 04 / 6
Hair and makeup
HMU is optional but useful for leadership teams, press assets, and partner portraits where polish matters.
- 05 / 6
New-hire matching
A repeatable setup for future hires costs less over time than rebuilding the look from scratch every quarter.
- 06 / 6
Rush delivery
Same-day or next-day delivery can be scoped when the team page, press cycle, or announcement date cannot move.

Client note
“The pricing was easy to approve because it separated the team setup from the executive extras. We got one consistent team page instead of a collection of mismatched portraits.”

How much do corporate headshots cost in NYC?
Company headshot days in NYC commonly start around $3,500 to $4,500 and increase with team size, setup complexity, retouching, hair and makeup, and rush delivery. Larger company refreshes can reach $9,000 to $15,000+.
Is per-person pricing or day-rate pricing better?
For teams, day-rate pricing is usually more efficient. Per-person studio pricing can work for one or two people, but a company team page needs consistent lighting, crop, retouching, and delivery.
Can you match future new hires?
Yes. We document the lighting, backdrop, lens, crop, and retouching style so future new hires can be photographed in the same visual system.
Can headshots happen at our office?
Yes. Most team headshot days happen in-office. We bring lighting, backdrop options, tethered review, and a repeatable setup.
