Step Into the Booth: Shining the Spotlight on Radio DJs
Conference Room Headshots
The session kicked off in the station’s conference room, an ideal setting for capturing clean, professional headshots of the DJs. These polished images are perfect for website bios, social media, and marketing materials. Each DJ brought their unique personality to the photo, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and approachability.
DJ Booth Action Shots
After finishing the headshots, we stepped into the DJ booth—the vibrant core of the station. This is where the real magic unfolds, and I wanted to shoot each DJ in their element. They took turns interacting with the microphone, headphones, soundboard, and computer, creating dynamic, authentic moments that perfectly captured the energy and excitement of live radio.
Bringing Personality into Branding Photos
One of my favorite moments was incorporating playful, storytelling shots, like a classic “feet kicked up” pose, giving off an old-school radio vibe. These lifestyle photos go beyond standard portraits—they tell a story and create a connection with their audience.

FAQs About Branding & Headshot Sessions

Where can branding sessions take place?
Sessions can be held in your office, workspace, a studio, outdoors, or anywhere that best represents your brand. The goal is to shoot you in an authentic and engaging setting.
How often should I update my professional pictures?
It’s a good idea to update your headshots every 1-2 years or anytime there’s a significant change in your business, branding, or personal appearance.
Can branding sessions work for teams?
Absolutely! Whether you need individual headshots, a group team photo, or behind-the-scenes branding images, as a photographer I promise to create a session tailored to your business needs.
