Istanbul Studio · Executive Profile · Corporate Representation
For company founders, CEOs, senior executives, and boards of directors, we create professional portraits that convey credibility—from company websites to investor presentations, and from annual reports to press releases.
You will be photographed by award-winning photographer Burak Bulut Yıldırım, who has photographed CEOs of global companies and international brand executives and has held fine art exhibitions in various countries. Burak Bulut Yıldırım, who served as a Sony Alpha Europe Imaging Ambassador from 2018 to 2026 and lives in Berlin for most of the year, personally conducts his Istanbul photo shoots on select dates. Sessions take place in a studio located about a 5-minute walk from the Levent Metro station or at your office, using a professional lighting setup installed on-site.
Our goal is not simply to produce a single ID photo, but to create a reliable portrait archive that reflects your company’s corporate stature. Body language, lighting, clothing, and background choices are determined entirely by your brand’s identity. We focus on capturing the right pose in-camera; we follow a natural retouching approach that preserves the subject’s genuine expression and skin texture without relying on AI filters.
Experience in Executive and Leadership Profiling
When creating portraits of the CEO, founder, board of directors, and senior management, the individual’s role, the company’s visual identity, the publications to be used, and the need for public representation are all taken into consideration.

“The entire process went smoothly, from the initial stage all the way through to receiving the photos. It’s really hard not to feel at ease when working with Burak Hoca. Besides, it wouldn’t be right for me to comment on Burak Hoca’s experience and talent. I’m very pleased with all of my personal branding and corporate portrait photos, and I love using them across all platforms. I’d also like to thank the entire team once again for their support throughout the process!”

Images are not organized according to a single platform, but rather according to the company’s and the executive’s corporate visibility ecosystem. Since the framing and resolution vary depending on the intended use, the shoot is planned from the outset with these uses in mind.

ID photos are taken for identification and official documents. A professional portrait, on the other hand, is designed to highlight the individual’s professional standing, sense of trust, decision-making role, and how they are represented within the company. For this reason, lighting, background, attire, expression, framing, and intended use are all evaluated together before the shoot.
LUX Production’s professional corporate portrait approach is based not merely on quickly producing profile photos, but on accurately understanding the representation needs of the company and its decision-makers. Burak Bulut Yıldırım’s expertise in portraiture, advertising, and lighting is utilized to produce reliable, controlled, publishable, and corporate-ready portraits for CEOs, founders, board members, and senior executives.
Shootings can be scheduled at our Istanbul studio—located about a 5-minute walk from the Levent Metro station—at the company’s office, or at another professional-grade shooting location, depending on your needs. For board of directors and leadership team shoots, a controlled studio area can be set up within the office using portable lighting and backdrops.
Locations near Levent in Istanbul—such as a studio, company office, executive office, meeting space, a selected indoor setting, or an outdoor location suitable for a professional portrait—can be considered.
The board of directors, senior management, and department heads can be photographed using the same lighting, background, and framing standards.
Managers are given brief on-camera instructions. The file-naming, selection, and submission process is planned from the outset.
Executive portraits are used in various crops on the company website, in executive biographies, in the annual report, in investor presentations, and in the press kit. For this reason, the need for square, vertical, and horizontal formats is planned together before the shoot.
Square and vertical frames are designed with consideration for legible eye contact at small sizes and a safe cropping area within the design.
A simple, uncluttered background, a natural, confident expression, and clear eye contact are evaluated together.
During the same session, horizontal, vertical, and square-format variations can be prepared for the press kit, annual report, and investor presentation.
A single CEO portrait and a group photo of a 20-person leadership team can share the same aesthetic style; however, they require different operational preparations. In an individual portrait, the subject’s role, industry-specific language, and public representation are emphasized. In a leadership team shoot, however, consistency, time management, and the application of the same visual standard to all decision-makers are essential.
A more personalized communication style is established based on the individual’s role, the company’s industry, its public profile, and the media channels to be used.
Executives must be photographed using the same standards for lighting, background, eye level, framing, and retouching. The shooting workflow and file management are planned from the outset.
A setup that can be recreated whenever a new manager is added helps the company maintain its visual identity over time. This is as much an aesthetic decision as it is an operational one.
In corporate portrait photography, the delivery process is just as important as the shoot itself. The file to be uploaded to a website does not necessarily have to have the same technical specifications as the file to be sent to the press. Therefore, when the intended uses are known from the start, the correct formats can be prepared more efficiently.
The photo shoot is planned under the direction of photographer Burak Bulut Yıldırım. Having served as a Sony Alpha Europe Imaging Ambassador from 2018 to 2026, Burak Bulut Yıldırım applies his technical expertise in lighting, camera, and lens use to the core requirement of corporate portraiture: to present the executive’s professional standing and sense of confidence in a publishable manner, without distorting skin texture or natural expression.
The process involves more than just taking photos; guidance is provided throughout the shoot regarding posture, gaze, shoulder angle, and expression. Since we are based in Berlin for most of the year, executive and corporate portrait shoots in Istanbul are scheduled on specific dates. The LUX team handles everything from scheduling appointments to managing the workflow on the day of the shoot, as well as the online selection gallery and the delivery process.
