Portrait Backdrop Examples
Examples of corporate headshots and lifestyle portraits photographed in professional office environments.
Below are sample headshots photographed with a range of backdrop options to help you choose what works best for your corporate headshot or lifestyle portrait. There are hundreds of backdrop styles and colors available, and I’ll help guide the selection based on your brand, space, and goals. One manufacturer with extensive color options is Savage.
All corporate headshots shown here were photographed using professional strobes unless noted as ambient. Ambient refers to available light in the space, either indoors or outdoors, without added strobes.
