Welkin Health: Headshots

In 2019 Welkin rebranded itself, complete with a new logo, style guide, and website. To complete the fresh look, new headshots were required for every employee on the Careers page. Having just decided to convert my photography hobby into a full-fledged business, I volunteered to take on the task. With a vibrant red backdrop and new lighting equipment in hand I carved out a few hours twice a month to photograph new portraits for all 50+ employees. All I needed was 15 minutes per person to get the shot. Some needed a few minutes of chatting first to ease their camera nerves while others were ready to jump right in and finish as quickly as possible. At the end of each days session everyone would be sent their proofs and asked to pick their top 3 photos and of those, one was edited to be added to the website and given to the employee to do with as they please. From what I heard some of these doubled as some Tinder profile photos!
