Efficient and Professional On-Location Headshot Photography / by Les Dishman

When it comes to capturing the perfect headshot in today’s hyper-competitive marketplace, the nexus of quality, efficiency, and convenience are critical. Since it’s often the first impression potential clients, partners, or employers have of you, a high-quality headshot can set you apart from your competition. At Les Dishman Photography, we specialize in providing top-notch headshot photography services that are of the highest quality, while also being efficient, convenient, and respectful of your time and energy.

On-Site Convenience and Comfort

Our on-location service means that we come directly to your place of business for your headshots. We set up a professional studio environment right on your premises and can be fully operational usually within 30-45 minutes after arrival. This eliminates the need for your staff to travel, saves valuable staff time, and minimizes the disruption to your your daily operations. Our portable setup includes all the necessary lighting and backdrops to ensure that each headshot is of the highest quality, matching the standards of a professional studio. We understand that your time is valuable, and understand that coordinating an offsite photo session for an entire staff can not only be challenging – it is often impossible!

In addition, experience tells us that some people can be intimidated by a formal portrait studio lighting setup. When that formal setup is in a familiar location however, most people are generally more comfortable and are able to collaborate better with the photographer in order to get the needed shots quickly and efficiently. Comfortable subjects are often more confident, the photos that result are more natural and authentic, and that authenticity speaks volumes in today’s fast-paced business environment.

Immediate Photo Selection with Tethered Shooting

One of the defining features of onsite our onsite service is tethered shooting. This process allows each employee to see their photos in real-time as they are being taken. Once the session is complete, they can immediately review and choose their 3-5 favorite shots. This instant feedback ensures that everyone is satisfied with their headshot before we leave, streamlining the process and eliminating the need for additional reshoots. The selected images are then professionally edited and delivered – usually within 14 calendar days - guaranteeing a polished and professional result. My licensing approach is simple and customer-focused. It grants you unlimited usage of the photos I deliver – no questions asked, no strings attached. Use the photos however you like – for as long as you like!

Competitive Pricing Based on the Lehman Scale

At Les Dishman Photography, we use a pricing structure modeled on the Lehman Scale, a well-respected pricing system originally developed for investment banking. The Lehman Scale offers a tiered pricing model that becomes more cost-effective as the number of employees being photographed increases (up to the 12th person). This structure benefits our clients by providing transparent and scalable pricing, ensuring you receive the best value for your investment. You’re never left guessing whether you’ve paid more or less than a competitor or colleague. Simplicity and efficiency are our goals, so our fees are the same for everyone. And … unlike many of my competitors, I don’t charge a sitting fee and I don’t slap on additional charges to edit each image I deliver.

My specific rates are as follows:

  • First person: $250

  • Next Four People: $200 per person

  • Next Three People: $150 per person

  • Next Four People: $100 per person

  • Each Additional Person Above 12: $75 per person

So … as an example, my fee for a:

  • three person headshot session would be $650.

  • six person headshot session would be $1,200.

  • twelve person headshot session would be $1,900.

Whether you have a small team or a large organization, our pricing adapts to meet your needs while maintaining affordability. (Note: this pricing scale is offered for a minimum of five people please.)
