Corporate Headshots Hanoi Packages: Compare Styles & Pricing

Corporate headshots at Hanoi Photoshoot by Cáo Studio come in three main formats: solo studio sessions (30–60 minutes, plain or branded backdrop, 5–10 retouched finals), on-location team shoots (2–4 hours, multiple Hanoi backgrounds, 1–2 edits per person), and styled corporate portraits combining our in-house makeup and hair with ao dai or business attire. Pricing depends on group size, shoot duration, and how many edited images you need; ask us for a quote on WhatsApp. Avoid booking without clarifying final image count and turnaround time—many teams expect 20 polished shots but receive 15, or wait weeks for edits. Best for: expat companies, nonprofit boards, LinkedIn profiles, and internal team directories needing consistent, professional framing in Hanoi's working light (October–April gives softer morning and late-afternoon tones).

What's included in a typical corporate headshot session?

Most corporate packages include a preset time slot (usually 30–90 minutes), a choice of backdrop (studio white/gray, or Hanoi street/garden location), professional lighting, a makeup and hair touch-up pre-shoot, and a set number of retouched digital files delivered within 7–14 days. We do not include printed proofs, rushed delivery, or unlimited outfit changes—discuss exact needs when you book. Solo sessions let you do one or two outfit swaps; group shoots lock in one backdrop per 4–6 people to keep the timeline tight and consistent.

How do I choose between studio and location shoots?

Studio headshots take 30–45 minutes per person and work well for team consistency: same light, same backdrop, easier scheduling. Location shoots in Hanoi (Old Quarter, lake-side gardens, Hanoi's French Quarter architecture) take 45–75 minutes and add visual interest for LinkedIn or website galleries—useful if your brand needs variety or storytelling. Location shoots cost more due to travel time and longer editing; they also depend on weather and crowd avoidance (morning shoots, October–March, beat tourist crowds). Choose studio if you need 10+ people in one day; choose location if you have 2–5 people and want a distinctive Hanoi backdrop.

What's the real difference between 5-image and 10-image packages?

A 5-image package gives you one final retouched shot per person (or outfit); a 10-image package offers 2–3 retouched options per person, letting you pick different expressions or poses. Both include basic skin smoothing, color grading, and neutral background cleanup. The 10-image option suits teams wanting more variety for internal use (email signatures, website rotation) or people unsure which pose works best. If you need extensive retouching (tattoo removal, major wardrobe edits), that's separate—ask before booking.

Here's a decision framework:

Package Type	Best For	Shoot Duration	Typical Final Count	Why It Works
Studio solo, 5 images	Single professional, consistency priority	30 min	5 retouched	Fast, affordable, one look
Studio small group (2–4), 5 per person	Department teams, matching branding	60 min	20 total	Same light, quick turnaround
Location solo/pair, 10 images	LinkedIn personal brand, website feature	45 min	10 retouched	Hanoi backdrop adds context
Styled corporate, 5 images	Ao dai + business blend, cultural angle	60 min	5 retouched	Hair, makeup, outfit all curated
Full team day (8+ people), location	Board portraits, company directory	3–4 hours, 2 locations	5–8 per person	Variety, professional narrative

Can I combine headshots with other Hanoi photo sessions?

Yes—many expat teams book headshots for individual portraits, then schedule a separate company group or team photoshoot at a garden or rooftop venue. This keeps the formal headshot session focused (faster, cheaper, cleaner edits) and adds a casual team-building moment elsewhere. Some teams shoot headshots in the morning (studio, controlled), then do a "company culture" session at a café or Old Quarter corner in the afternoon. This doubles your shoot day but keeps deliverables organized: 5 polished headshots per person, plus 3–5 casual group culture shots.

What outfits and styling work best for corporate headshots?

Solid colors (navy, black, white, jewel tones) photograph cleaner than patterns; avoid logos larger than a fist. Women often choose blazers, collared shirts, or structured dresses; men usually wear dress shirts with or without jackets. In Hanoi's humidity (May–September: 70–90%), clothing wrinkles fast—bring a steamer or let our makeup and styling team smooth you before we shoot. If you're doing 5+ people, confirm everyone wears similar tones (e.g., all navy or all earth tones) for directory consistency. Jewelry should be minimal; glasses (if worn daily) are fine—avoid tinted frames that reflect studio lights.

How long does editing take, and what does "retouched" actually mean?

Retouching at Hanoi Photoshoot by Cáo Studio includes: color grading to Hanoi's warm light, skin softening (not airbrushing), sharpening eyes and teeth, removing temporary blemishes or stray hairs, and neutral background touch-ups. It does not include body reshaping, major feature changes, or artistic filters. Turnaround is usually 7–10 business days for standard packages; ask for rush timelines (5 days, 3 days) when you book—rush fees apply, ask for a quote. Large group shoots (15+ people) take 12–14 days because we edit each person individually.

What to check before you book

1. Final image count: Confirm you're getting 5, 10, or 20 retouched files—not a contact sheet of 50 unedited shots.
2. File format: Ask if you receive JPEGs, PNGs, or high-res TIFFs; TIFFs are larger but suit printing.
3. Usage rights: Clarify if images are for internal use, LinkedIn, or commercial resale—our licensing is included in the package quote.
4. Turnaround: Book 2+ weeks ahead in October–March (high season); May–September is faster but hotter, more crowded, and needs earlier morning slots.
5. Group logistics: If booking 4+ people, confirm everyone's availability—rescheduling mid-team shoots costs extra.
6. Styling: Let us know if you need makeup, hair, or ao dai rental so we reserve time (add 20–30 minutes to the shoot).

FAQ

Can we do corporate headshots outdoors in Hanoi year-round?

October–April is ideal (soft light, lower humidity, fewer crowds). May–September works but requires early-morning slots (6–8 a.m.) to avoid harsh noon sun and heat-haze. Rain is common June–August; always have a backup date.

Do you offer group discounts for 10+ team members?

Yes—ask us for a quote on WhatsApp with your headcount, and we'll provide scaled pricing. Typical packages include studio or on-location, and we can split shoots across two days to keep quality high.

What if someone doesn't like their retouched headshot?

We do one free re-edit per person (expression, minor crop, color tone). Major changes (e.g., different outfit photo, complete makeup redo) require a reshoot; ask for details before booking.

How do I use these headshots for LinkedIn, email signatures, and print?

All retouched files are yours to use. For LinkedIn, a 400×400 px square crop works best; we can provide crops. For print (posters, directories), ask for high-res files; JPEG 300 dpi is standard. Email signatures usually need 100–150 px width.

Can we mix headshots with other sessions, like a company team shoot or pre-wedding photos?

Absolutely. Many teams book headshots for individual portraits, then add a separate group session or pre-wedding shoots for other team members. This keeps deliverables organized and lets you choose different backdrops for variety.

Do you do headshots outside Hanoi?

We shoot in Hanoi and day-trip spots (nearby temples, gardens, rural areas). For other cities, see vietnamphotoshoot.com—our sister site covers Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh, and beyond.
