How remote headshots work for Boston professionals
It's a real, directed photo session — just not in a studio. You pick the look and background, join a video session at your booked time, and a professional directs your session live: where to sit for the best light, camera height, posture, expression. You use the phone or laptop you already own and natural light — no app, no gear, no rental. Polished, web-ready finals arrive within two business days of your selection. It works for one person (individual remote headshots) or a whole distributed team (remote team headshots).

Sectors we photograph in Boston
Boston is the world's life-sciences capital — roughly a thousand biotech companies and 143,000 people in the sector, clustered from Kendall Square to the Seaport — layered over the country's most educated workforce (about 70% hold a bachelor's or higher), 160,000 students, and heavyweight finance like Fidelity. Lab schedules and studio hours rarely cooperate; a remote session happens between experiments, and the whole team — Cambridge, Longwood, or fully remote — comes out matching.
A real photo — not an AI headshot
A remote headshot is still a photograph of you — your real face and expression — captured by a person, not generated by a model. Recruiters and clients increasingly distrust AI headshots once they spot them. Here's why a real photo beats an AI headshot. Serving Boston remotely — and every city we serve.

How much do professional headshots cost in Boston?
Boston sessions run $200–$600 (studio $395–$490; on-location up to $1,290). Remote Headshots is $180 per person, directed live by a real photographer.
How does a remote headshot actually work?
You book a time, join a video session, and a photographer directs your lighting, camera height, posture, and expression live. Retouched, web-ready finals arrive within two business days of your selection — using your own phone or laptop and natural light.
Is a remote headshot as good as a Boston studio session?
Yes — a real photographer controls light, framing, and expression, just over video. A genuine photo of you, not a generated image, at a fraction of Boston studio pricing.
So I don't go to a Boston studio?
Correct — you shoot from your own office or home.
Our biotech has people at the bench in Kendall Square and remote staff nationwide. Will the headshots match?
Yes. Location and schedule stop mattering: each person takes a 25-to-45-minute directed session when it suits them, and one editing team delivers a single consistent set for your site and BD decks.
What if my camera or lighting isn't great?
A modern phone is enough; the photographer positions you toward natural light and directs in real time.
