Well I’m glad you asked. In Melbourne you’ve got 3 options.
Your photographer comes to your office for on location headshots.
Your photographer will bring their headshot lighting equipment to your office and photograph your team all on the same day. This makes it easy for you as your team don’t need to waste time out of their busy days travelling to and from a studio.

I’ve also noticed, people seem a little bit more comfortable and relaxed when I photograph them on their home turf at their location. If you’d like to take a deep dive into what’s required and how it works, I’ve got another blog post on office headshots in Melbourne. Quick tip though – a private room like a boardroom is best for on location headshots.
Headshots in a studio.
Many businesses don’t have a physical office anymore, or work from co-working spaces. Which can make life difficult when you need to get team headshots. But don’t panic. There’s a solution. Look for a photographer who has a studio in Melbourne’s CBD, or near your team.
Like um, me! Photoform* have a bright and airy studio a hop skip and a jump from Flinders St. Station on Swanston St in Melbourne’s CBD. And it looks a lot like this:

Headshots on location.
You might have a favourite park or a spot by a river where you’d like some headshots done. That’s completely do-able too. I often shoot headshots on location for business. Just be aware though, there’s additional logistics to consider.
You have the elements to work around – wind, rain, sun. Melbourne’s weather is unpredictable at the best of times. Logistically it’s also more challenging to photograph a large number of headshots in the park. Do-able, but will likely add time to the schedule.

Conclusion.
So there you have it. Now you know where to get headshots for work in Melbourne. You’ve got 3 choices – your office, a studio and on location!
