Staff Headshots for a North Adelaide Medical Practice

Clean, consistent photography — scheduled around surgeons, clinics, and chaos.

This North Adelaide medical team had a problem: their website looked like a time capsule. Several new hires weren’t featured. One retired staff member was still front and centre. And the group photo? Let’s just say it had seen better days.

The solution? A full refresh of their staff headshots — done entirely on-site, with a portable studio setup and just enough flexibility to herd a team of busy doctors and nurses without disrupting the clinic.

Visit the clinic’s website here to see the updated team in action.

Why the clinic needed new headshots in the first place

When the practice manager first got in touch, the brief was clear. They needed updated headshots and team photos for their North Adelaide specialist clinic, which had recently welcomed multiple new doctors and nurses — while also farewelling a few long-timers.

The team included:

  • Seven doctors across various surgical specialties

  • Multiple clinical and administrative staff

  • A web developer working behind the scenes to relaunch the practice’s site before an international trip

The catch? Schedules were all over the place. Between surgery lists, patient consults, and annual leave, getting everyone together at the same time wasn’t going to happen.

Bringing the studio to them: portable headshot setup on-site

To avoid pulling staff away from clinical duties, I brought a full mobile studio setup directly to their consulting rooms at Lister House. This included:

  • Compact lighting and modifiers tailored for small office spaces

  • A neutral backdrop to suit their updated brand colours

  • Soft lighting to flatter all skin tones without harsh shadows

Sessions were split across two dates: a weekday afternoon and a Saturday morning — with a third mini session added later to catch up with two team members who were unavailable due to illness and leave.

How to keep things consistent across different shoot days

One of the biggest challenges in multi-day headshot jobs is keeping the lighting, framing, and editing uniform — especially when photos are destined for a clean and clinical website like this one.

Here’s what helped keep it all locked in:

  • Precise lighting measurements were saved between sessions

  • Camera height, distance, and lens selection were logged and replicated

  • Neutral editing settings applied across the board, with light retouching (stray hair removal, skin tone balancing, and background cleanup)

Result? Whether the staff member was photographed in May or July, the final headshots look like they were all taken on the same day.

Alongside the individual headshots, we captured multiple group shots:

  • Doctors only

  • Nurses and admin staff

  • Full team banner image for the new homepage

Like most medical teams, this one wasn’t immune to last-minute reshuffles. A couple of people fell sick. One staff member had to step out for an emergency consult. And one of the surgeons (who shall remain nameless, but knows who they are) just didn’t read the group chat.

We adjusted as needed — including pushing a final group photo to a twilight weekday slot with pizza and a follow-up team dinner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get consistent staff headshots for a medical practice?

Use a mobile photographer who brings the same lighting and setup to your clinic across sessions. It keeps everything uniform even when team members are photographed on different days.

Can you take staff headshots at our clinic?

Yes — everything is done on-site using a portable studio setup. That means no travel, no downtime, and less disruption to your day.

What if some staff are away or sick on shoot day?

No problem. Sessions can be split across multiple days, or a short follow-up can be booked later. The setup stays consistent each time.

How much time should I allow per person?

About 10–15 minutes each. That gives enough time to chat, adjust lighting, and make sure everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera.

Do you include retouching with the headshots?

Yes — one fully retouched image per person is included, covering skin tone balance, stray hair removal, and background cleanup.

What should staff wear for their photos?

Smart casual or whatever they’d normally wear when seeing patients. Solid colours work best. Check the headshot wardrobe guide here.

Can we use the images on our website and social media?

Absolutely. You’ll get high-resolution files and web-sized versions, ready to use across your site, LinkedIn, and internal documents.

Can you match the style of our existing branding?

Yes. Just send through your current marketing materials or a link to your site. The lighting and editing will be adjusted to match your visual style.

Do you travel outside of Adelaide?

Yes — mobile headshot sessions are available across all of South Australia. Travel costs may apply for locations further out.
