On Saturday, 18th January 2025, we set up our headshot booth at the Accelerate Event in Bristol, hosted by the amazing Zoe Thompson. The goal of the event? To help professionals level up their careers with networking, workshops, and some serious personal growth vibes. Naturally, we thought, "What better way to help people accelerate than with brand-new, professional headshots?"
Spoiler alert: it was a hit.
From updating LinkedIn profiles to finally replacing that blurry conference selfie, attendees left with headshots that screamed, "Hire me, I’m amazing!" And while we can’t take credit for their sparkling smiles and sharp outfits, we did make sure they looked their absolute best.
Why a Headshot Booth is the MVP of Any Corporate Event
Let’s be honest: no one is turning down a professional headshot. Here’s why it was such a winner at the Accelerate Event:
- It’s Like a Mini Makeover for Your Personal Brand: In today’s world, your online presence is everything. A killer headshot is like your digital handshake—it needs to be strong, confident, and not from 2016.
- Convenience is Key: Busy professionals don’t have time to book headshots between meetings. Our booth brought the studio to them, minus the commute.
- Memorable and Useful: Most event souvenirs end up forgotten. A professional headshot? That’s a takeaway they’ll actually use.
How We Made It Work (Without Breaking a Sweat)
Running a headshot booth at a busy corporate event takes precision and planning. Luckily, we’ve mastered the art of looking calm under pressure. Here’s how we pulled it off:
- Prime Location: We set up shop in a high-traffic area, so attendees couldn’t miss us (and wouldn’t have to wander far in search of a photo op).
- Quick & Easy Sessions: Each attendee got 5–7 minutes in front of the camera, which is just enough time to get "natural-but-not-too-casual" nailed down.
- On-the-Spot Selection: We didn’t make anyone guess which photo they’d like. Attendees reviewed their shots right after their session and picked their favorite. No awkward surprises later.
- Fast Digital Delivery: Edited headshots hit inboxes within 72 hours, because no one wants to wait a week to update their profile picture.
What Attendees Had to Say
The booth quickly became a fan favorite at the Accelerate Event. Here’s what people kept telling us:
- "Wow, this was so easy!" Yes, because we know no one wants a 30-minute lecture on "finding your angles."
- "I haven’t looked this good on camera since… ever?" We’ll take that as a compliment.
- "I’m updating my LinkedIn right now." A professional headshot that inspires instant action? Mission accomplished.
