Corporate photography falls within the larger domain of commercial photography. However, corporate photography in itself is an extensive field, which requires many different skills.

There are many aspects that differentiate other forms of professional photography from corporate photography. For example, in other forms of photography, the photographer gets the opportunity to re-shoot the photographs by asking for retakes or by making use of different angles, but in corporate photography there is no such luxury. Hence it is essential to hire the services of a competent corporate photographer.

The photographer, who you are intending to engage, must also have the ability to think on his feet as at corporate events everything happens quickly and without prior notice. Corporate photography demands attentiveness, quick performance and a high level of awareness on part of the photographer.

A critical activity included in a corporate photographer's job profile is clicking headshots of the high-ranking business executives at an event. These headshots might be required for the organisation's archives or for circulation in the media. The photographer must therefore be proficient in this job.

The mere reputation of a photographer does not assure his competence in corporate photography. Clicking a corporate event requires an entirely different kind of expertise that a qualified wedding photographer, for instance, is not expected to have. Weddings generally have a well defined series of events, so a photographer can relax and keep a tab on the proceedings by following the series of events. On the other hand, in corporate photography, situations arise when one least anticipates them, and the photographer should stay prepared for them. That is why a photographer with previous experience in handling corporate events should always be preferred

Corporate photography serves many important corporate purposes and by keeping these tips in mind you would be able to hire someone who can exactly fulfil your requirements. However, to cross-check all the photographer's claims, you must always look at samples of his past work.
