When an international team flies in for an in-person meeting, it’s more than just a calendar event — it’s a rare opportunity. And for this team of 12 professionals from Interface meeting in Atlanta, it was the perfect moment to refresh their corporate headshots and create a cohesive, polished look across all their platforms.

Interface is a world-leading modular flooring company known for its innovative carpet tiles and resilient flooring systems that help transform interior spaces. So it felt especially fitting that we photographed their team inside their beautiful Midtown Atlanta office — a space that truly reflects their design-forward brand.

Why This Was the Perfect Time for New Headshots

Many of the team members work remotely and live in different countries. Getting everyone together in one place is rare — and that’s exactly why this session mattered.

Updating headshots during an in-person meeting means:

• Consistent branding across LinkedIn, company bios, and speaking engagements
• A unified, professional look for a globally distributed team
• Fresh images that reflect where the company is now, not years ago

There’s also something powerful about capturing people while they’re already in collaboration mode. The energy is different — more connected, more natural, more human.

And when companies want to go beyond headshots, a brand session can provide images for websites, social media, newsletters, and marketing materials all at once.

A Studio Setup — Without the Backdrop

I came prepared with my full portable studio setup, as I always do for corporate headshot days. But when I walked into Interface’s Midtown space… I knew right away we weren’t hanging a backdrop.

Their interiors are stunning — modern, warm, and design-driven, with subtle textures and architectural lines that echo exactly what they do as a company. Using their own environment made the images feel more authentic and on-brand than a plain background ever could.

We selected a spot they never used before for photos, with clean lines to keep the focus on each person while still giving context to the space.

This environmental approach is something I also use in my brand photography sessions, where the workspace becomes part of the visual story.

Making First-Time Headshot Clients Feel Comfortable

Several team members shared that they had never had professional headshots taken before. That’s always something I take seriously, because being in front of the camera — especially in a corporate setting — can feel intimidating.

I guide everyone through natural posture adjustments, subtle angles, and expression changes so nothing feels stiff or forced. The goal is always the same: confident, approachable, and still very much them.

Most people walk away saying, “That was way easier than I expected.” That’s exactly how it should feel.

Variety = Options (But Tailored to Each Company)

The session took about 2 hours for 12 people, which allowed us to stay efficient while still giving everyone strong options.

For each team member, I typically capture:

• Standing and seated poses
• Both profile sides
• A range of expressions and smiles (approachable, confident, more serious)

That said, every company’s needs are different. Some teams only need one consistent image per person for their website. Others want multiple looks for press features, conferences, and social media. Before every corporate headshot day, we define how the photos will be used so we create the right amount of variety — not too little, not overwhelming.

Consistent headshots are often the first step, and many teams later expand into fuller visual storytelling with brand photography that shows their work, environment, and personality.

The Result: Cohesive, Modern, Human

By the end of the session, Interface’s team had a set of headshots that feel:

• Professional without being stiff
• Consistent while still showing personality
• Polished and aligned with their brand and environment

It’s always rewarding to help put real, relatable faces to a global company built on collaboration and thoughtful design.
