Studio shoot vs. on-location: Which option suits your company?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Should the photo shoot take place in the studio or at your location? Both options have advantages and disadvantages. Here you can find out when which setup is worthwhile - and why we at Schepers Photography usually recommend \u201eon location\u201c.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of a studio shoot?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the studio you have Full control over light and background<\/strong>. This is ideal for classic application or headshot shots, uniform employee galleries or product photography with high demands on repeatability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disadvantage: The atmosphere is neutral and \u201eclosed\u201c. Employees often seem more rigid because they are taken out of their usual environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of on-location photography?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On-location means: We come to your office, workshop, production facility or customer site. The pictures show real work, real spaces, real people<\/strong> - This looks authentic and sells much better on the careers page, in the press kit and in the annual report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical advantage: employees don't have to come to a studio. This saves travel time and makes the day of the shoot more relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is which variant worthwhile?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Studio recommended:<\/strong> You need uniform headshots for an application database, photograph products without surroundings, or want an extremely clean look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On-location recommended:<\/strong> You want to make your brand, values or working methods visible. Suitable for Business photography<\/a>, Business portraits<\/a>, Team photos<\/a>, Industrial photography<\/a>, Advertising photography<\/a> or Photo reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid approach: the best of both worlds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We bring a mobile studio set-up with us - and can also take classic headshots on location against a neutral background. So in one appointment you get both the uniform portraits<\/strong> as well as the authentic reportage pictures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation for studio appointments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you decide on a studio shoot, please plan the journey for your employees. My studio is located in R\u00f6merberg, a 5-10 minute drive from Speyer and Schifferstadt and a 25-30 minute drive from Mannheim and Heidelberg. I recommend scheduling appointments in 15-minute blocks so that no one is waiting and nothing runs into each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

In the studio we have Air-conditioned rooms<\/strong>, A waiting area with coffee\/water and a small mirror for freshening up. Outfit ironing is also possible if someone comes out of the car with a shirt on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: Bring a second outfit<\/strong> with. If the first one in the pictures doesn't look as planned, we have a plan B - without a new date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation for on-location shootings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On-location shoots require more preparation within the company. Especially in industry: Safety shoes, helmet, goggles, hearing protection<\/strong> should be available, also in my size. I bring my own PPE, but an additional set for helmet and goggles with your company's logo makes a good impression in the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tidy up rooms<\/strong>At least the area shown in the picture. Tools tidy, cables tucked away, personal items (lunch box, coffee cup, ashtray) removed. That's 5 minutes work per area, but it makes the difference between \u201emessy\u201c and \u201eprofessional\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check lighting<\/strong>Factory halls often have difficult mixed light. I bring mobile LED setups, but if you know it's going to be darker (winter month, north side of the building), mention that beforehand. This way I plan more equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid setup: Studio comes to you<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want uniform headshots but want to save the effort of traveling to the studio, you can use a mobile studio setup<\/strong> order. I'll bring the background system, lighting setup and everything else that's in the studio to your location. We'll set it up in a meeting room or a quiet corner of the hall - and you'll have a complete headshot set for your team within 2-3 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantage: Employees do not have to travel. Disadvantage: Set-up and dismantling take an extra 30-45 minutes. This is almost always worthwhile for teams of 8 people or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc My standard for image rights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At Schepers Photography you get the following as standard full rights of use<\/strong> to all images supplied - unlimited in time, unlimited geographically, for all your own media (website, social media, print, press relations, career, annual report). No extra charge, no small print. An exception only applies if, before the shoot otherwise agreed in writing<\/em> This happens very rarely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also a Copyright attribution is not mandatory<\/strong>. So you don't have to name me as the photographer if it doesn't fit the layout. My experience: If a picture is good, people will ask who took it. You can find more details about my license philosophy at Image rights & rights of use<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
