I’m Alex Mills, a corporate photographer based in Cardiff, South Wales, with 20 years’ experience creating professional imagery for businesses and organisations. If you need photography that builds trust - for your website, recruitment, internal communications or stakeholder messaging - I’ll help you create a consistent, polished set of images that genuinely reflects your people and culture.
Corporate photography typically includes: headshots, leadership portraits, team and office photography, people-at-work imagery, company culture & lifestyle, environment and event coverage.
I keep the process straightforward: clear planning, calm direction for people who aren’t used to being photographed and final edits that look modern and credible without feeling overproduced. I work throughout the UK and beyond for the right projects.

Leadership headshots and executive portraits
Modern, confident portraits for partners, directors and senior leadership - ideal for website bios, PR, speaker profiles and LinkedIn. Sessions can be as simple as a clean backdrop setup in your office, or more environmental portraits that show the person in context. I’ll guide expression, posture and small details so the results feel natural and credible rather than stiff. You’ll receive consistent, well-lit images that match your brand, with retouching kept realistic and professional. Useful when you need a step up from standard headshots, or want a cohesive set across a leadership team.
Team headshots at your office
Efficient, repeatable headshot setups for teams of any size, shot at your workplace to minimise disruption. We’ll agree the look (background, lighting style, crop, expression) so everyone’s images feel consistent, even if people are photographed at different times. I’ll keep the process calm and supportive - particularly for staff who dislike being on camera - and work to a schedule to keep your day running smoothly. Ideal for ‘meet the team’ pages, staff directories, proposals, pitch decks, tenders and LinkedIn profiles.
People-at-work and workplace lifestyle
Authentic, well-composed imagery of your team doing real work - meetings, collaboration, client-facing moments, and day-to-day operations - without it looking staged. This style is perfect for service pages, recruitment and brand storytelling, because it shows how you work and what it feels like to engage with you. We’ll plan scenes that are believable and relevant to your audience, and I’ll direct lightly to keep things natural. A strong option for professional services, tech, education and public sector teams who need visuals that feel human, current and trustworthy.
Office, interiors and facilities photography
Clean, flattering photography of your workplace, interiors, meeting spaces and facilities to support your website, recruitment, brand perception and investor/stakeholder comms. Good interiors photography helps people feel confident about visiting you - and it’s often the missing piece on corporate sites that otherwise look ‘stock’. I’ll shoot with an eye for space, light and practical detail, capturing wide establishing shots as well as usable close-ups that add texture to your pages. Ideal for multi-location organisations that need a consistent look across offices, or businesses with a premium space they want to showcase.
Corporate event photography
Professional, discreet coverage for conferences, networking events, awards, launches and internal events. The goal is to capture the atmosphere, key moments and people interactions in a way that’s genuinely useful for marketing and comms afterwards - not just a gallery of ‘people holding drinks’. I’ll work around your schedule, capture the important speakers and moments, and provide a balanced set of wide, mid and close shots for social posts, PR, internal updates and future event promotion. Fast turnaround options are available.
Recruitment and employer brand photography
Imagery designed specifically to help you attract the right people: team culture, leadership, work environment, behind-the-scenes, and the ‘real’ day-to-day. This can include portraits, workplace scenes and details that show what it’s like to work at your organisation. We’ll plan it around the roles you’re hiring for and the values you want to communicate, making sure the photos feel authentic rather than like generic corporate stock. Ideal for careers pages, job ads, LinkedIn recruitment campaigns and internal comms.
On-brand image libraries for websites & marketing teams
A structured shoot that creates a versatile bank of images your team can use across your website, proposals, presentations, social content and PR. This is the “content library” approach: a mix of headshots, people-at-work, environment, details and hero images, all consistent in style and easy to deploy. Planning focuses on what you actually need for your key pages and campaigns, so you’re not left with a folder of nice shots that don’t fit anywhere. Particularly useful for marketing managers who need regular, reliable content without organising multiple separate shoots.
Multi-location corporate photography
Consistent photography across multiple offices or regions, designed so your brand looks cohesive no matter where the images are captured.
We’ll agree a repeatable style (lighting approach, background choices, composition, retouching level) and build a shot list that can be delivered in each location. This is ideal for organisations with distributed teams, franchises, or companies going through growth and rebrands. The key benefit is consistency: leadership portraits, workplace imagery and team photos that feel like one brand - not a patchwork of different eras and photographers.
Video testimonials, interviews, events & lifestyle
Video is often the fastest way to build trust with people who don’t know you yet - especially when your services are complex or your audience needs reassurance. I create corporate video content for businesses and organisations in Cardiff, South Wales and across the UK, with a straightforward process that keeps filming calm and efficient.
Projects can include leadership and CEO messages, recruitment and employer brand films, ‘about us’ videos, client testimonials and case studies, event highlight films, and short edits designed for LinkedIn and social channels.

Corporate photography FAQs
-
A corporate photography shoot usually includes planning, the shoot itself, and edited final images ready for web and marketing use.
Typically includes:
A short briefing call and shot list
On-site setup (lighting/backdrop if needed)
Posing/direction for individuals and teams
A proofing gallery to choose favourites
Final retouching to an agreed level
If you’re updating a website, I’ll help you prioritise the exact images you need (headshots, workplace, leadership, interiors) so the shoot produces usable content, not just a nice gallery.
-
Corporate photography pricing depends on time on-site, the number of people, locations, and the edit level.
Cost is mainly affected by:
Half-day vs full-day coverage
How many headshots you need
Whether you need a specific backdrop setup
Retouching requirement
Usage scope (website, PR, campaigns)
Preparation
I’m based in Cardiff, South Wales and quote clearly based on your brief, so you can compare like-for-like and choose the most efficient option.
Half day shooting starts are £390 (3.5 hours) and full day shoots from £690 (7 hours).
Basic editing is included for all provided shots (levelling, colours, exposure etc)
-
Yes - on-site team headshots are one of the most efficient ways to get consistent staff photos.
How it works:
A simple set (office background or portable backdrop)
A schedule so people rotate quickly
Calm, clear direction out of the way in a dedicated space (helpful for camera-shy staff)
Consistent framing and lighting across the team
It’s ideal for ‘Meet the Team’ pages, staff directories, proposals and LinkedIn profiles, with options for new starters to be shot at my studio at a later date (or back on location) so your photography stays consistent over time.
-
Yes, most certainly - I completely understand how daunting it is to be in front of the camera.
What helps:
Clear, simple direction (no awkward posing)
A private shooting space (eg. meeting room, unused office)
Quick feedback and reassurance
A relaxed pace and environment so nobody feels rushed
I provide a chance for you to review your images as we shoot - ensuring you leave happy!
Practical fixes (posture, hands, expression)
The goal is natural, confident images that still look like the person. Most shoots take only a few minutes per individual once the setup is in place.
-
For corporate headshots, it’s usually quick once the lighting is set.
Typical timing:
30 minutes - lighting setup and light tests
5-8 minutes per person for a standard headshot look
Longer for executive portraits or multiple setups
If you have a large team, I’ll help create a schedule that keeps the day running smoothly. You’ll still get variety (a few different expressions/angles) without slowing the process down.
-
Choose clothing that looks professional, fits well, and aligns with your brand.
Simple guidelines:
Solid colours or subtle patterns (avoid busy prints)
Avoid loud logos unless they’re intentional
Mid-tones usually photograph well (not all-black or all-white)
Bring a spare layer (jacket/blazer) for variety
If you’re unsure, I can share quick wardrobe guidance based on your brand style and whether you want formal, approachable, or modern/casual. Find out more about how to prepare you and your team.
-
Turnaround depends on the number of images and the retouching level, but it’s always agreed upfront.
Typical delivery:
Proofing gallery first (for selection)
Final edited images delivered shortly after selection
If you have a launch, recruitment deadline or event follow-up, tell me and we’ll plan the schedule around it. Fast turnaround can be arranged when needed.
-
Yes - all my corporate photography comes with clear usage rights.
Most clients need:
Website and internal comms
LinkedIn and organic social
Recruitment and job ads
PR and press releases
I’ll confirm how you’ll use the images and include the usage terms in plain English, so marketing teams and agencies can publish with confidence and stay compliant.
-
Yes - workplace and interiors photography is often the missing ingredient on corporate websites.
Useful for:
“About” and service pages
Recruitment and culture content
Stakeholder communications
Multi-location consistency
I can capture a mix of wide shots (spaces) and details (brand, environment, people in context) so your imagery feels real and supports trust.
-
Yes. I’m based in Cardiff, South Wales, and work throughout the UK and beyond.
For multi-location organisations, we can plan a repeatable approach so each office has consistent lighting, framing and editing style. This is especially helpful for growing teams, rebrands, and organisations that need a unified look across regions.
Fun fact - the furthest I’ve been is Atlanta in Georgia, USA.
