✓ Free Online Intro Included
On-Location Corporate Headshots & Team Consistency
Build a measured, repeatable mobile headshot station inside any law firm, clinic, or corporate office with clean eyeglass geometry and tethered selection.
Corporate clients rehire the photographer who can walk into a conference room six months later and match their exact backdrop tone, head scale, catchlight shape, and skin rendering for five new hires. In this practical course, you build a documented mobile clamshell setup, solve progressive eyeglass reflections, and streamline live tethered selection and batch retouching.

Course Learning Pillars
Core Capabilities Developed in This Course
Every learner starts from a different background. These are the core capabilities this course develops, paced to your goals across the sessions we plan together.
Glare-Free Eyeglass Lighting Geometry
Combine higher modifier placement, off-axis feathering, and a subtle temple-arm tilt so thick or anti-reflective lenses stay crystal clear.
Flattering Clamshell & Rim Separation
Pair an overhead feathered softbox with an angled under-chin reflector and subtle hair/shoulder separation for clean, rested executive skin.
Live Tethered Selection & Grid Alignment
Let busy partners pick their preferred frame at the tether station on set, then export eye-aligned team grids with natural corporate retouching.

- Auto-naming tethered captures by employee name in Capture One or Lightroom

Program FAQ
Common Questions
How much office floor space do I actually need to run this corporate headshot setup?
We practice a compact conference-room layout that operates comfortably inside a 2.5m × 3.5m room using a collapsible backdrop and an 85mm lens. In your Free Online Intro Session, we review your lenses, lights, and target corporate clients.
How does the Free Online Intro Session work, and how many sessions will I need?
Every course begins with a Free Online Introductory Session where we review the core syllabus together, evaluate your current background and goals, and map out how many sessions you actually need and whether continuing Online ($69 CAD/hr) or In-Person ($99 CAD/hr) suits you best. Session count is never a rigid one-size-fits-all number; it adapts to your own level and pace.
Do I have to commit to a multi-session package upfront?
Never. There is zero upfront package commitment: once your free online intro session maps out your path, any coaching sessions you choose ($69 CAD/hr online or $99 CAD/hr in-person) are scheduled flexibly session-by-session at your own pace.
Are courses taught in English, Persian (Farsi), or bilingual?
Your choice: every session with Iman Adlkhah can be conducted 100% in English, 100% in Persian (Farsi), or naturally bilingual with industry terminology.
