Detroit Headshots & Corporate Event Photography — Common Questions

What services do you offer?

Clear Signal Studio provides professional business headshots, executive portraits, team headshot days, brand and culture photography for websites and recruiting, and corporate event photography across Detroit and Southeast Michigan. We also produce short-form video content, speaker clips, testimonials, behind-the-scenes “at work” footage, and social-ready vertical video, so your company can market with real faces, not stock photos.

Where do you work?

We work on location throughout Metro Detroit and the surrounding areas. That includes Detroit, Ann Arbor, Troy, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Novi, Livonia, Dearborn, and most cities across Southeast Michigan. We can set up a mobile studio at your office, or cover your conference, meeting, or off-site event anywhere in the region. Travel beyond Michigan is available when needed. Have a location in mind?

How much does a headshot cost?
  • Express Session: Fast, focused, camera-ready headshot for LinkedIn, badges, and email signatures. Ideal if you just need one updated, professional image.
  • Standard Session: Longer shoot with outfit changes, multiple looks, guidance on pose and expression, proof gallery, and polished retouched finals suitable for websites, press kits, and speaking engagements.
  • Plus / Personal Branding Session: Extended time, professional makeup options, multiple backgrounds, and a full set of finished images you can use across social media, company bios, and PR.

Because every client’s usage is different — executive bio, LinkedIn refresh, marketing campaign, recruiting materials, etc. — we provide a clear written quote once we know what you need.

Do you offer team headshots?
  • On-site office setup (Metro Detroit): We bring a consistent lighting setup to your workspace and photograph employees one by one. Perfect for new hires or leadership updates.
  • Half Day Coverage: Best for small and mid-size teams (often under ~20 people). Everyone gets a consistent, on-brand professional headshot for the website and internal directory.
  • Full Day Coverage: Scales for larger teams, recruiting events, or company-wide “photo day.” High-volume, efficient, brand-consistent results.
  • Individuals who miss photo day can book an in-studio session so leadership pages stay uniform.

Send us your headcount and location and we’ll map out the most efficient option.

What is the Headshot Booth / Event Headshot Station?
  • A mobile “mini studio” we set up at conferences, sales meetings, hiring events, trade shows, or internal summits in Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan.
  • Clean, consistent lighting and professional direction so every attendee leaves with a polished, LinkedIn-ready image tied to your brand experience.
  • Includes organized delivery (files labeled by name), standard commercial usage rights, and an attendee list you can use for follow-up or marketing.
  • Add-ons: on-site retouch requests, instant digital delivery, professional makeup, and extended hours. Travel outside Metro Detroit can be arranged.
How much does corporate event photography cost?

Corporate event photography is quoted based on coverage time, schedule, and deliverables. We regularly cover executive retreats, leadership meetings, award ceremonies, panel discussions, product launches, trainings, and internal culture events. Tell us your run-of-show and marketing goals (press, recruiting, social content, investor updates, etc.) and we’ll send an itemized proposal.

What’s included in event photography packages?

You get professional coverage of the event, edited high-resolution images, and an online gallery for easy internal sharing. We also include standard usage rights so you can post to LinkedIn, update your website, send recap emails, pitch PR, and build recruiting assets. Popular add-ons include a roaming content creator for social clips, rush turnaround, and a second photographer if you have breakout rooms or simultaneous sessions.

Do you offer headshots at corporate events?

Yes. We can run an on-site headshot station during your conference, all-hands meeting, hiring fair, or leadership summit. Your team (or attendees) walks away with consistent, on-brand, professional headshots they can immediately use on LinkedIn, your website’s “About Us” page, internal staff directories, speaker bios, and investor decks. It’s a high-value perk for guests and an easy way to unify how your people appear online.

How fast will we receive the images?

Standard turnaround for most Detroit headshot sessions and corporate event coverage is about 3–5 business days. If you’re working against a launch, press deadline, or internal announcement, we offer rush delivery and even same-day highlight selects so leadership can post immediately.

I’m nervous in front of the camera — can you help?

Absolutely. We coach pose, posture, jawline, expression, and overall presence the entire time. You’ll see previews as we shoot so you can adjust in real time and pick images you actually like. The goal is not a stiff “school photo.” The goal is to make you look confident, approachable, and professional in a way that supports how you want to be seen online.
