When a landlord needs fast, clean property photos with a floor plan and bonus object removal — it’s game on. Here’s how this Lightsview shoot was handled without breaking a sweat.
The Institute of Public Administration Australia (SA Division) recently updated its team and needed a full refresh of their staff headshots. With a growing organisation, rotating team members, and a revamped website, consistency was key — both in style and delivery.
This job was all about clean, professional results with minimal workplace disruption. One backdrop, one boardroom, one morning.
IPAA South Australia represents public sector professionals across the state. Their website is a front-facing hub for membership, training programs, and executive leadership initiatives. Having outdated or inconsistent staff photos wasn’t just a visual issue — it affected trust and credibility.
What they needed:
Uniform staff portraits across their whole team
On-site photography at their Pirie Street office
Flexible scheduling that didn’t require rescheduling meetings
Photos ready for web, LinkedIn, and internal use
This wasn’t just about updating photos. It was about presenting a team that looks as sharp and coordinated as the work they do.

The shoot took place at IPAA’s city office, using their boardroom as the temporary studio. A neutral backdrop, two-point lighting, and a simple reflector setup kept everything controlled, flattering, and consistent — no matter who stepped in front of the camera.
Each team member had enough time to settle in, try a few angles, and capture both professional and slightly more relaxed expressions. The goal wasn’t stiff, corporate awkwardness — just natural, polished portraits that fit with IPAA’s tone.

📍 Servicing all of South Australia
All headshots were edited for:
Skin smoothing and colour balance
Background cleanup and even lighting
Removal of stray hairs and distracting elements
Each file was exported in full-resolution and web-ready versions. This meant the team could upload directly to their website and still have high-quality versions ready for future press releases, LinkedIn updates, and email signatures.

This wasn’t just a one-off. With new team members expected in the coming months, IPAA wanted a style that could be replicated.
The lighting setup, camera settings, backdrop choice, and editing style were all documented. That way, future headshots for new hires can match seamlessly.
