While indoor portraits can offer a higher level of control and polish, outdoor headshots are a strong option for people wanting a more relaxed professional image through professional headshot photography. Within a few steps of the Lizzy C studio we have a park, tree lined streets, Industrial brick walls, and a beautiful view of the Melbourne skyline, giving clients a choice of location and helping keep corporate headshots on brand.
Not to mention the fact that a cloudy Melbourne day gives beautiful natural light, and that kind of lighting helps capture a warm, approachable look. All of these elements combine to create images with depth, texture, and colours that are hard to achieve indoors or in the studio. Showing a little of the environment in the frame can create a relevant natural setting without distracting from the subject.
These locations can also help your profile stand out by helping the setting reflect your industry, brand identity and professional image.

If a potential employer or audience is checking through a lot of LinkedIn profiles, the right background can make your picture feel more relevant and memorable, and encourage them to read more of your profile.
The kind of outdoor photo you require is worth planning before your shoot, so it helps to gather a few ideas in advance.
A photo in a park with greenery looks relaxed and natural, whereas a photo in front of a textured wall creates a more urban, modern style.
The final choice should reflect the person, their company and personal brand.
Have a look at the examples we’ve included in this post and consider what suits you best. Wardrobe and posing matter too, and even a simple jacket can add structure in outdoor corporate headshots.
