Keep every subject tied to the right gallery
Use a consistent studio-side record for the subject, proof set, selection state, and client communication instead of relying on filenames alone.
Corporate headshot operations
A repeatable delivery workflow for corporate headshot studios.
Keep many subjects, selections, retouching instructions, file variants, and final handoffs moving through a process the studio can verify.
Where volume breaks the process
A folder structure cannot tell you which decision is still missing.
Corporate headshot work multiplies small operational questions: who has chosen, which frame is approved, what needs retouching, which file sizes were promised, and whether the final package reached the right person. A repeatable workflow makes those states visible.
Operating stages
Build the handoff before the shoot becomes a spreadsheet rescue.
Confirm selections before retouching starts
Separate favorites from final submissions and keep image-specific notes attached to the selected proof so production begins from an explicit brief.
Standardize the final package
Prepare predictable file variants, archive naming, delivery instructions, and a clear finals-ready state before the handoff goes out.
Record delivery instead of assuming it
Keep the sent message and client download moment connected to the gallery so the studio can see what was delivered and what still needs follow-up.
Final package
Make the last mile easy for both the studio and the corporate client.
• Full-size retouched finals
• Web- or profile-ready versions when the job requires them
• Predictable filenames that identify the subject
• A simple manifest or usage note for multi-file packages
• A branded delivery message with the exact download action
• A studio-side delivery and download record
Selection control
High-volume delivery starts with a selection record you can trust.
The Studio Ops guide explains how to curate proof sets, separate favorites from submitted choices, and keep retouching notes connected to the right image.

Corporate headshot workflow questions.
How do you organize delivery for a corporate headshot day?
Treat each subject as a tracked workflow: proof set, submitted selection, retouching notes, finals-ready package, delivery message, and confirmed download. Consistent states matter more as subject count grows.
Should proofing and final delivery use the same gallery?
They can belong to the same job, but they should remain distinct stages. Proofs support a choice; final delivery presents the completed files without leaving the earlier selection record ambiguous.
What belongs in a corporate headshot delivery package?
The exact contents depend on the client agreement, but a clear package commonly identifies full-size finals, any web-ready variants, predictable filenames, and simple usage or download guidance.
