Corporate photography for Creative Runners by Michiel Heijmans

Most company photos are forgotten by your potential clients within seconds

A row of employees against a white wall, a director with folded arms. Functional perhaps, but it does not stay with anyone. And you use it once.

I work differently. I come by and capture what actually happens. The craftsman absorbed in the work. The meeting where it gets decided. The moment a project takes shape. Those are the images that ring true, and that you can use anywhere.

That is the sum that makes corporate photography worth it. One good reportage gives you images for your website, your socials, your newsletter, an article in the trade press and your annual report. Instead of separate jobs that do not reinforce each other, you build a consistent picture of who you are.

I photograph company reportage, projects under way, portraits of staff and directors, events, and editorial work for articles. Often those run into one another. A project reportage gives you good portraits straight away; an event gives you atmosphere that lasts a year.

I came to photography through street photography, and it shows. I do not stand out, I direct as little as possible, and I wait for the moment it becomes real. People are quickly at ease, including the ones who say they do not like being photographed. Those are often the best photos.

Beforehand we briefly agree what you need and what you are going to use the images for. After that I need little steering. I move with the day and make sure I am there at the moments that matter.

What it costs

Half a day € 900 excl. VAT, a full day € 1,800 excl. VAT. Travel costs € 0.50 per kilometre. No hourly rates, because good images do not happen on the clock. So you know where you stand beforehand.
