GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich., March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Portraits By Rod, featuring the creative work of photographer Rod Arroyo, has launched an updated website and new corporate headshot service based in Grosse Pointe Farms and serving the metro Detroit area. Founded in 2000, Portraits by Rod provides business headshot photography, portraits of high school seniors, and fine art city photography. The website can be found at https://www.PortraitsByRod.com.
New Website. The updated website features headshot photography, high school seniors, city photography, and a special page of black and white images entitled Jazz in America. The website also has the Portraits by Rod blog, where recent photo shoots are highlighted as well as educational and informative posts such as Top Tips and Techniques for a Great Headshot. This is an important blog to follow if you want to see a variety of posts ranging from portraiture to live music and city photography.
Headshots – The Studio Comes to You. The Portraits by Rod corporate headshot service was created to respond to a demand for high-quality business portraits that tell a story and promote company branding, while also providing the benefit of creating minimal disruption to the company's core business day. To achieve these goals, Portraits by Rod brings the studio to the corporate office. The backdrop can be environmental, such as the view from a corporate office window downtown, or it can be a studio-style backdrop with a color that works with company branding. By coming to the office, employee downtime is minimized, and it makes the process convenient and seamless.
If a company is looking to update headshots, the process works as follows:
- Send Portraits By Rod a message using the form on the website or call to discuss the headshot session. This initial consultation will enable the photographer to understand anticipated outcomes, discuss corporate branding, and review the process. After that conversation, a time and date can be scheduled. Tips and helpful information will be provided to the key contact person so they can forward to everyone participating in the headshot session.
- Rod will arrive the day of the photo shoot about 30 minutes prior to the first session to set up. Each session is limited to a single outfit per person unless separate arrangements are made prior to the photo shoot.
- The photo session for each person typically lasts about 7-8 minutes, and Rod will photograph up to 7 people during a 1-hour session. If the client wants a wider variety of looks and more time is needed per person, then pricing and scheduling can be adjusted accordingly.
- Within approximately 7 days of the session, the company contact will receive an online proofing link to share. It will contain a curated selection of images for each person that was photographed. For the final selected image, Portraits By Rod takes care of everything: color correction, adjusting exposure, softening bumps and wrinkles, and making other adjustments so each person looks their best. This mastering of each image is included in the quoted price. After all the selections are made, the selected image of each person is typically uploaded to an online gallery in four different formats: color print resolution, color web (LinkedIn) resolution, and a black and white version at both resolutions. A quality black-and-white portrait is not a color version converted at the push of a button. It is carefully mastered to create a unique version of the image.
In addition to the headshot process described above, each client gets to work with an experienced photographer using the best camera gear. The experience is designed to help set aside fears that many people have about getting their picture taken, and the result will help improve the corporate online presence, and printed company materials will look amazing with these fresh portraits.
The headshot service is also designed to be part of an image branding service offered by Portraits By Rod. By working with clients on a monthly or quarterly basis, Rod can provide a variety of corporate images including social media posts, headshots of new employees, products, equipment, and more.
