By Yana Skakun·22 March 2026·7 min read
Corporate headshots in London cost between £150 and £500 for an individual session and £800–£3,500+ for a team or company-wide booking. Prices vary significantly by photographer experience, session location, and what retouching and delivery is included. Here's a clear breakdown.
Corporate headshot prices in London: 2026 guide
| Session type | Typical London price | What's typically included |
|---|---|---|
| Individual headshot (studio) | £150–£350 | 30–60 min session; 3–8 fully retouched images; online gallery download |
| Individual headshot (on-location) | £200–£450 | 60 min at your office or preferred location; 5–10 retouched images |
| Small team (4–8 people) | £600–£1,400 | Half-day at your office; consistent background; 3–5 images per person |
| Medium team (9–20 people) | £1,200–£2,500 | Full day; portable studio setup at your office; 3–5 images per person |
| Large team / company (20+ people) | £2,500–£5,000+ | Multi-day or full-day event; standardised corporate look; bulk image delivery |
| Executive portrait session | £350–£600+ | Extended session for C-suite; location flexibility; 10–20 retouched images |
London prices are typically 20–35% higher than equivalent sessions in other UK cities. Prices vary considerably by photographer.
What's included vs what costs extra
Corporate headshot pricing can be deceptively simple or meaningfully complex. Before confirming a booking, clarify:
- ◆Number of final retouched images: Most individual sessions include 3–8 fully retouched images. For team sessions, 3–5 per person is standard. Additional images beyond the included set are charged per image — typically £25–£60 each.
- ◆Retouching standard: Good corporate headshots include: colour and exposure correction, some light skin smoothing, clothing tidying, and background cleanup. Extensive retouching (significant skin work, body modification) is usually charged separately and should be discussed upfront.
- ◆Travel and setup: For on-location team sessions at your London office, most photographers include London travel within the M25. Outside this, travel is additional. A portable studio setup (lighting, backdrop) may be included or charged separately depending on the photographer.
- ◆Image format and licence: Final images should be delivered as high-resolution JPEGs suitable for all professional applications. Confirm image size specifications — a good commercial headshot should be at least 3,000 pixels on the longest side. Usage licences for company website, press, and LinkedIn should be explicit.
- ◆Turnaround time: For team sessions, 5–10 business days is typical; individual sessions 3–7 days. Rush delivery (24–48hrs) is available from some photographers at an additional charge.
Why in-office team sessions are efficient
Bringing a photographer to your London office — with a portable studio setup — eliminates travel time for your entire team. At 6–8 people per hour, a 15-person team can typically be photographed in under three hours. The result is a consistent corporate look across every team member, from the same session, with matching backgrounds and lighting. This consistency is difficult to achieve through individual bookings over time.
Why invest in professional corporate headshots?
The case for professional headshots is commercial, not vanity:
- LinkedIn profiles with professional headshots receive up to 21x more profile views according to LinkedIn's own data
- A consistent, professional team page communicates credibility and stability to clients researching your company
- Individual reputation matters in professional services — a polished, approachable headshot on a personal director bio or speaking profile supports business development
- PR and press coverage uses headshots regularly — a high-quality image ready to deploy saves time and controls how you appear in third-party publications
Frequently asked questions
How much do corporate headshots cost in London?
Individual sessions with an experienced London photographer cost £150–£350 for a studio session or £200–£450 for on-location. Team bookings at your office range from £600 for a small team to £2,500+ for a company of 20+. Always confirm what retouching and delivery is included before comparing prices.
How should I prepare my team for headshot day?
Send a pre-session brief covering: dress code guidance, grooming preparation, what to bring (a change of top if they'd like variety), and what will happen on the day. Well-prepared subjects photograph more confidently and give your photographer more to work with. The brief is typically provided by your photographer — ask for it.
What's the best background for corporate headshots?
This depends on your brand. A clean white or light grey background is universally professional. Branded colours work well if your company uses bold colour consistently. Blurred office or environmental backgrounds add context but require more post-processing to look consistent. Discuss your brand guidelines with your photographer before the session.
Can we use the images for press and marketing campaigns?
Check your licence. Standard personal/professional use licences cover company website, LinkedIn, press bio, and internal use. Advertising campaigns, paid media placements, and licensed print publication may require a commercial licence at additional cost. Clarify this if your use case extends beyond the standard.
