What Is the Difference Between On-Site and Studio Headshots?
On-Site Headshots
The photographer brings everything to you — portable studio lighting, backdrops, and equipment.
Best for: Teams of any size, sessions where minimizing team disruption matters. Advantages: No travel for team, fits into workday, scales efficiently, same quality as studio.
Studio Headshots
Session happens at a dedicated photography studio.
Best for: Individual executive sessions requiring multiple looks. Advantages: Completely controlled environment, greater backdrop and lighting options.
CSS's Recommendation
For most corporate teams: on-site. For individual executive sessions: a hybrid approach often produces the most versatile set of final selects.
