Business Professional and Executive Portrait Photography in Istanbul

Professional headshot photography for CEOs, founders, executives, and corporate teams, suitable for use on LinkedIn, company websites, press releases, investor presentations, and board of directors profiles.

With production experience dating back to 2005, LUX Production works with executives, founders, and company teams. Filming is scheduled to take place at the Kağıthane studio in Istanbul under the direction of photographer Burak Bulut Yıldırım, or at the company’s office using a mobile studio setup.

The goal is not simply to produce a single profile photo, but to create a set of portraits that can effectively represent the manager and the company professionally. Lighting, posture, expression, attire, background, and delivery format are planned with LinkedIn, the web, the press, speaker profiles, and corporate documents in mind. Retouching is kept natural; skin texture and a genuine, professional expression are preserved.

06 · Applications

Where are corporate portraits and LinkedIn photos used?

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.

ProfileLinkedIn and the company website

Professional LinkedIn photo, team page, "About Us" section, and company profile sections.

PRPress and speaker profiles

Press releases, PR kits, conference announcements, and media interviews.

CorporatePresentations and Reports

Investor presentations, annual reports, proposal documents, and corporate publications.

Internal CommunicationInternal company materials

Email signatures, intranet, recruitment pages, and internal promotional materials.

07 · Distinction

The difference between a professional headshot and an ID photo

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 both the company and the individual. Burak Bulut Yıldırım’s expertise in portraiture, advertising, and lighting is utilized to create reliable, controlled, publishable, and corporate-ready portraits for executives, founders, and teams.

08 · Location

Studio shoot or in-office mobile studio?

Shootings can be scheduled at our studio in Kağıthane, Istanbul, at the company’s office, or at a location suitable for professional use, depending on your needs. For corporate team shoots, we can set up a controlled, mobile studio area within the office using portable lighting and backdrops.

Studio and location Gravity Field Options

In Istanbul's Kağıthane district, locations such as studios, company offices, executive offices, meeting spaces, select indoor venues, or outdoor settings suitable for professional portraits can be considered.

Crew shots From 4 people to 20+ people

Board of directors, department profiles, and corporate teams can be planned using the same standards for lighting, background, and framing.

Operation Flow and Delivery Discipline

Employees receive a brief on-camera briefing. The file naming, selection, and submission process is planned from the outset.

10 · LinkedIn and corporate profile

Technical Notes for LinkedIn Photo Shoots and Corporate Profiles

A professional headshot is often first seen on LinkedIn and a company’s website, framed in a small, circular crop. For this reason, the professional LinkedIn photo, the company website photo, and photos for press use are all planned as part of the same photo shoot.

Profile Readability

A square frame is preferred for readability at small sizes. The face is positioned so that it comfortably fills the frame.

Background and Expression

A simple, uncluttered background, a natural, confident expression, and clear eye contact are evaluated together.

Web and print versions

During the same session, horizontal, vertical, and square aspect ratio variations can be prepared for use on the company website, in press materials, and in presentations.

11 · Individual or group shoot?

Executive portraits and company team photoshoots are not scheduled at the same time

A single CEO portrait and a group photo of a 20-person team can share the same aesthetic style; however, they require different operational preparations. In an individual portrait, the person’s role, industry-specific language, and public representation are emphasized. In a team shoot, however, the main focus is on consistency, time management, and ensuring the same visual standards are applied to everyone.

IndividualProfile of an Individual Manager

A more personalized approach to guidance and representation is established for CEOs, founders, partners, attorneys, consultants, and other senior professionals. LinkedIn, press, and speaker profiles are considered together.

TeamCompany team photo shoot

The department or management team must be photographed using the same lighting, the same background, similar framing, and consistent retouching standards. Workflow and file management are planned from the outset.

SystemCorporate Portrait Standard

A setup that can be replicated whenever new employees are added helps the company maintain its visual identity over time. This is not just an aesthetic decision, but an operational one as well.

12 · Delivery and Touch-ups

How is the delivery standard maintained for corporate use?

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.

01

Web and LinkedIn

  • Safe area for square and vertical cropping
  • Small, legible eye contact
  • File versions optimized for the web
  • Frames suitable for use on LinkedIn profiles and company pages
02

Press and Documents

  • High-resolution portraits for PR and press releases
  • Versions with a plain background for presentations, activity reports, and proposal documents
  • Determining the need for horizontal and vertical variation in advance
03

Retouching standard

  • Skin tissue is preserved
  • The shape of the face cannot be changed
  • Color and contrast are kept consistent throughout the team
  • Final files are delivered as high-resolution, web-optimized JPEGs
13 · Approach and Team

A group photo of Burak Bulut Yıldırım with the management and team

The photo shoot is planned under the direction of photographer Burak Bulut Yıldırım. As a Sony Alpha Europe Imaging Ambassador, Burak Bulut Yıldırım applies his technical expertise in lighting, camera, and lens use to meet the core requirement of corporate portraiture: to illuminate the executive’s professional standing and sense of confidence in a publishable manner, without distorting skin texture or natural expression.

The process is not just about pressing the shutter button; guidance is provided throughout the shoot regarding posture, gaze, shoulder angle, and expression. Since the team is based in Berlin for most of the year, business and corporate portrait shoots in Istanbul are scheduled on specific dates. The LUX team handles everything from scheduling appointments and communication to managing the workflow on the day of the shoot, as well as the online selection gallery and delivery process.
