IWD Event Headshot Booth in London

Corporate Event Headshot Booth London: IWD Case Study with Paragon

When Paragon UK approached us to support their International Women’s Day event in Canary Wharf, they wanted a high-value experience that would truly ‘Give to Gain’ for their attendees.

The theme of the event, “Give to Gain,” was all about providing attendees with tools to elevate their professional presence. These days, a high-quality headshot is the ultimate professional asset. Paragon wanted a solution that wasn’t just a “photo booth,” but a mobile headshot studio capable of delivering executive-level portraits instantly in a live event environment.

The Setup

For this event, which was being held in the lovely Oasis venue in the heart of Canary Wharf, we deployed our most sophisticated mobile setup. This wasn’t your average pop-up studio:

• Profoto Lighting: To ensure every attendee was bathed in soft, flattering, magazine-quality light.

• Backlit Backdrop & Reception Desk: Our world-first backlit setup creates a modern, glowing aesthetic that looks fantastic and sets the tone for an inviting, professional experience that draws attendees in and makes them feel like the star of a high-end editorial shoot.

• Seamless Workflow: While James focused on the photography and putting guests at ease, Donna managed the logistics and assisted attendees with signing up for their headshots, ensuring the experience was smooth from the moment someone stepped up to the desk.

The Results: Exceptional Quality & Raving Feedback

The energy throughout the day was fantastic. We captured a diverse range of professionals, providing them with headshots that were ready for LinkedIn, corporate bios, and press releases. The feedback from the Paragon team and their guests speaks for itself:

“We partnered with Headshot Company for our International Women’s Day event, themed Give to Gain, where we offered professional headshots to help elevate our attendees’ social media and professional presence. From the very first email exchange to the event itself, the experience was seamless.

James was a brilliant photographer who instantly put people at ease, while Donna ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. The quality of the headshots was exceptional and the feedback from attendees has been fantastic, many were absolutely delighted with their photos.

We couldn’t have chosen a better team and would highly recommend Headshot Company for any organisation looking to add something truly valuable to their event.”
