Corporate headshots for BAM in Kilsyth, near Glasgow
Recently I had the pleasure of photographing a corporate headshot session for BAM at their Kilsyth office in North Lanarkshire. BAM is a major construction and property services business, with a strong focus on sustainability and modern delivery. Their Kilsyth site has also been highlighted publicly as a key Scottish hub for work including energy network decarbonisation programmes.
For a large organisation, a consistent set of team headshots is not a vanity project. It is a practical asset that supports recruitment, client confidence, internal culture, and clear communication across websites, bids, presentations, and LinkedIn profiles.
Why team headshots matter for large companies
When a business grows, its online presence often becomes a patchwork of images from different years, phones, offices, and lighting. That creates an unintended message: inconsistent standards.
A well planned headshot day fixes that quickly:
Consistency: One look, one style, one standard across teams and locations.
Trust: Clients and partners see real people, clearly presented.
Efficiency: A professional setup can photograph a lot of staff in a short window.
Future proofing: A repeatable process makes it easy to update new starters and leadership changes.
How we approached the Kilsyth headshot session
The goal was simple: create modern, confident headshots that feel professional without being stiff.
For corporate sessions like this I build a streamlined on site setup that keeps everything moving:
A clean, consistent lighting approach designed to flatter a wide range of faces
Simple posing and expression direction so people relax quickly
A steady workflow so staff can step in, get guided, and return to work promptly
Attention to detail so the final set looks cohesive across departments
That combination matters even more in a busy office environment where people are giving you limited time and plenty of “I hate having my photo taken” energy. The photographer’s job is to make it feel easy.
What companies in Glasgow should know before booking team headshots
If you are planning corporate headshots in Glasgow (or nearby locations like Kilsyth, Bishopbriggs, Cumbernauld, or the city centre), here are the practical decisions that make the day run smoothly:
1) Decide where the images will be used
Website staff pages, Teams avatars, LinkedIn, bids, press releases, ID cards: each use case can influence framing and background choice.
2) Aim for “approachable professional”
Most modern brands want headshots that look confident and warm, not overly formal. The best sessions balance polish with personality.
3) Build a simple schedule
Group departments, set clear time slots, and communicate wardrobe guidance in advance. That alone saves a lot of time on the day.
4) Agree the final look
A consistent background, similar crop, and the same retouching standard across everyone is what makes the set feel premium.
Deliverables that make life easier after the shoot
For corporate clients, I always think beyond the photography itself. The images need to be easy for marketing and HR teams to deploy.
Typical deliverables can include:
Web ready and print ready files
Consistent crops for staff listings
Sensible file naming that helps your team find people quickly
A repeatable approach for future new starter sessions
