Teams

Everybody, in one frame, and nobody looking like a hostage.

19 frames·Austin and Central Texas — at your office, or a partner studio·Photos in three business days

The company photo is the hardest easy job there is. Forty people, one patch of usable light, somebody's lunch break ending, and a result that has to work as a website header, a wall print and a LinkedIn banner. We plan the position and the order before anyone comes outside, so the part where your team is standing around takes four minutes — and then we stay for the hour where they stop posing, which is usually where the picture you actually use comes from.

Line-up of about ten colleagues in business dress standing shoulder to shoulder outdoors

Four men in suits and blazers standing on a staircase in front of a planted green wall — Four people, one staircase, and a rule about who stands where.

The group photo is the hardest easy thing there is.

Everyone assumes it's the quick bit. It's the only frame all day where a single blink, a single closed eye in the third row, costs you the whole picture.

One

And the hour either side of it.

Once the line-up is done and the camera is apparently finished, people go back to being recognisable. That's the half of the shoot most companies actually run out of.

Three colleagues walking and talking on a street with the Texas Capitol in the distance — Walking shots are a cliché because they work.

Nobody can perform this on request. You get it by still being in the room twenty minutes after everyone assumes you've stopped.

Two

Small teams. Same problem.

Three founders is not an easier group photo than three hundred people. It's a harder one, because there is nowhere for anybody to hide.

Sometimes the team photograph is one person holding the thing they make. It counts, and it's often the only one anybody remembers.

A team photo has to survive somebody leaving. Shoot it so it's about the work, not the roster.
