Why You Should Book a Headshot Station at Your Next Event
Professionals should aim to update their headshots every two to three years, but most people use headshots closer to five to six years out of date. A headshot station is a great addition to your upcoming corporate gathering, event, or conference, to provide attendees with fresh, updated, high-quality portraits.
A complimentary or sponsored headshot station typically offers one to two photo options per person at your event, providing professional photographs that reflect the current phase of attendees’ active careers. This can also be an opportunity for your company to obtain headshots of team members of matching quality and style for staff directories or websites.
What is a “Headshot Station”?
A headshot station delivers professional, premium portraits captured on-site at your conference or corporate event. Generally, professional headshots can be taken anywhere, but booking a full luxury headshot booth brings the studio experience to your event. Headshot stations deliver quality portrait photography while maintaining the volume large events require.
Abigail Egan Photography’s headshot station brings on-site lighting, backdrop, and individualized posing directions for each attendee and their unique needs and preferences. It’s not about the equipment used, but the quality, attitude, and human touch provided. My approach delivers an efficient experience to keep the line moving while simultaneously providing an authentic, high-end final product.
How Does a Headshot Station Differ From a Typical Event Photo Booth?
Many typical photo booths are set-it-and-forget-it, with no adjustments for individual preferences or unique differences. Where those booths are flash-edited by AI and delivered within minutes of being taken without any human oversight, a headshot station is a more personalized experience.
A headshot station is not your average cookie cutter event headshot booth. The best portraits have a human touch, emphasize connection, and provide an immersive experience. I deliver polished, luxury portraits with the same quality of a personalized photoshoot, individually edited and retouched by my own hand.
What Does a Headshot Station Add to My Conference or Event?
Premium headshots are the event or conference swag your attendees will actually use. A headshot station is also a great sponsorship opportunity for your event partners to display signage and network face-to-face with attendees while they’re waiting in line.
Post-event branding can keep attendees connected and reminiscing on the event after they’ve left. Depending on your package, attendees receive one to two final headshots of their choosing (with the option to purchase more) within one to two weeks of the event, in the order their photos are taken.
For an additional fee, Abigail Egan Photography offers sponsorship advertising (text-only) that can also be included in the email attendees receive with the link to their headshot gallery.
