If you have a large team, or even just a small team but are pressed for time, it’s sometimes ideal to have a mobile photographer come to your Los Angeles area office. Getting headshot photography done at a studio can cut down on costs but it takes more of a person’s time. But if a mobile photographer comes to you to do team headshots, each person can pop in for a 5-10 minute and go back to their normal day of work. Fast, efficient, real-time satisfaction, white-glove project management, and highly professional results. See many example headshots on this page.

NOTES: on-site mobile headshot services must be completed same-day, some time between 8 AM and 6 PM. Travel to your office beyond 20 miles from the studio address is an extra fee dependent on distance. Payment by credit card or PayPal may incur an additional three percent fee.
There are a lot of reasons to avoid the headache. Here are but a few:
The mobile quality matches any of the solid-colored background shots done at the physical studio location of The Light Committee. Select the button above to see more examples.
Each individual session includes:
You likely have an idea as to how many people you will need headshots for. Pricing for teams of around 20 people is listed on the main page for corporate headshots – just jump down to the “mobile” section. Next, you’ll want to verify schedules with everyone and that includes with The Light Committee.
Once pricing and a date and time are verified, it is ideal to create a schedule for the day. This way, each person has a dedicated slot they can plan for – say, Jennifer at 10 to 10:10 AM, Jim at 10:10 to 10:20 AM, and so on. Providing an end-time makes people aware they are only needed for a few minutes.
There is no standard for how photographers conduct mobile sessions. So, the following is applicable only to The Light Committee.
If sessions are to start at, say 10 AM, The Light Committee will likely arrive around 9 AM. This allows time to scout the location and make sure it is ideal and allows time to setup all the gear too. An ideal spot to conduct sessions will consist of the following, though sessions can be accommodated without meeting all these requirements:
For Los Angeles-area businesses, The Light Committee brings a studio light setup to mimic what an in-studio session would be like. A gray background is common to use, which can be made lighter or darker. Other backgrounds are possible, and requests can be made for such. The farther the travel request, the less that can be packed, and so light setups may become minimal, particularly if a flight via an airport is required.
Once all the gear is setup and sessions begin, in most cases each person will have the opportunity to review the photos as we go, to ensure there are some looks that they like. Sessions are designed for one look and around a dozen shots per person to minimize a person’s required time while ensuring enough shots to find one photo that is likeable. But custom sessions are possible, such as to accommodate more looks (outfit changes), to have hair and makeup styling in place, etc.
After the sessions are completed, The Light Committee will pack up and will attempt to restore the room to how it was found, as much as possible. Communication with the company’s project manager will then continue by phone or email as to getting the online proof galleries sent out and completing the delivery of photos.
Proof galleries can take a few days to around a week to setup, depending on the size of your team. They can be created per person – if it is preferred each person selects one – or a single gallery for all people – if it is preferred one person is selecting for everyone. Typically, retouched photos are then delivered approximately 2-3 business days after an individual’s selection is made. If a group gallery is submitted all at once for many people, it will take longer. It can take 7-14 days for teams of 20, for example.
Photos are sized at the most common headshot crop, a 4:5 ratio which translates to 8×10”. The Light Committee provides a print-quality version and web-optimized version of each retouch. The extra photos not selected for retouching are commonly also provided in smaller resolution, typically around 2,000 DPI long edge (uncropped).
The Light Committee provides an FAQ page for full details. Generally, less is more. Simple solid colors are ideal. Consider wearing what you might wear to meet an important client / customer. What is also important is what NOT to wear.
There are some clothing items that can create unnatural artifacts in the digital world. For example, blazers or shirts with intricate patterns can cause undesirable moire effects. They can often be removed in post-production but not always restored to the original look of the fabric. There is also a popular blue suit that can appear yellowish when studio light reflects on it. For these reasons, it is a good idea to consider bringing a second option of clothing or to avoid wearing such clothing items on the headshots day.
