A real studio, built inside your booth. Real photographer, real lighting, real backdrop. Up to 2,000 headshots in a single day, every attendee captured as a lead, and every image delivered under your name. Based in Washington, DC and on the road to shows across the country. You get the line at your booth. We do everything behind it.
Nobody queues for a tote bag. People will stand in line for twenty minutes, inside your footprint, for a headshot they would otherwise pay for.
Attendees never see a vendor name. As far as anyone at the show is concerned, you gave them the headshot.
We can add your logo or a clean border to the delivered files, or leave them completely plain. Nothing is ever stamped across a face and there is no watermark. You pick the treatment before the show and it holds for the whole set.
The delivery email carries your branding and comes from you, not from us. Nothing in it mentions HeadshotDC unless you want it to.
Everyone who steps in front of the light gives their details to get their photo. You receive the whole list, cleaned, after the show.
Traffic, data, your own team and your brand, out of one footprint on one day.
Swag gets taken and forgotten. A headshot is worth real money and everybody needs a current one, so attendees look you up on the map and walk over on purpose. The queue does the rest: visible down the aisle all day, dwell time in minutes rather than seconds, and a reason for your team to open every conversation.
The headshot is the offer. Their details are the price of admission, and they hand them over gladly, because that is how the photo reaches them. No badge scan, no guessing whether the interest was real. One clean list after the show, and your delivery email lands in their inbox days later.
Your people are already in the same building, which happens once a year. Shoot them at the same station, on the same light, on the same backdrop, and the mismatched website grid fixes itself. Leadership, sales and regional staff in one sitting, booth staff in the quiet hour before doors open. No second booking and no chasing anyone for a photo.
Photographers, lighting, backdrops and crew on site. Shooting, check-in, lead capture, culling, retouching and delivery are ours, done off the floor. Nobody on your team touches a card reader, a spreadsheet or a Dropbox link. You take the traffic, the data and the credit.
Both put a camera in your booth. Only one gives your attendees a picture they are still using next year.
Some event photo vendors now sell AI retouching and AI styling as paid add-ons. That means every face from your show gets uploaded to a third-party model. We do not do that, at any price. Your attendees are photographed by a person, edited by a person, and their faces stay with us.
Every frame is selected and finished by our own retouchers in our own studio. No generative fill, no synthetic faces, no "AI headshot" pass. What we hand back is a photograph of the person who sat down.
Images and attendee data stay inside our pipeline. They are not fed to a model, sold to a data broker, or run through a third-party face service. Keeping post-production in-house is what makes that promise possible.
A face is biometric data, which is exactly why we treat it as the most sensitive thing on the drive. More on how we think about this in privacy in the AI era and what AI headshot apps do not tell you.
The rate covers crew, lighting, backdrops, equipment, retouching and delivery. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately. Your estimate updates as you build it.
Stations, days, and anything you want on the floor.
Up to 10 hours on the floor. Half days are half the rate, on top of one full day minimum.
Updates as you build. This is what gets sent.
An estimate, not a contract. Anywhere in the US. Travel and accommodation are not included and are quoted with the booking.
Straight to the owner. Not a shared inbox, never sold on.
Your request is with Moshe, and a confirmation with a copy of everything you sent, estimate included, is on its way to your inbox. If the show is close, call the studio at 202.506.7218 and we will move faster.
This page is for large-scale events: expos, trade shows, conferences and anything where hundreds to thousands of people go through in a day. It is not in-office corporate headshots. If you want your own staff photographed at your office or in our studio, that is priced per person and you can work it out yourself on the calculator.
Up to 2,000 in a single day. One station handles roughly 50 people an hour, about 500 across a ten-hour floor, so volume comes from running stations in parallel rather than from a faster photographer. Four stations is 2,000. Need more? Ask and we will size it.
People search for all three, and a headshot booth or headshot kiosk usually means an automated unit: a camera in a box, a fixed light, a screen telling you where to stand. What we bring is a staffed headshot station. A photographer directs every person, the lighting is set for the room, and the files are retouched by hand afterwards. Same job on the floor plan, a very different result on your team's LinkedIn page.
If you want them to. We can add your logo or a clean border to the delivered files, and we can just as easily leave them completely plain. Nothing is ever stamped across someone's face and there is no watermark. You choose the treatment before the show.
Attendees receive their headshot from you, not from us. The delivery email carries your branding and your name, and nothing in it mentions HeadshotDC unless you ask us to include it. That is about the delivery, not the picture: whether the image itself carries any branding is a separate choice and the default is a clean file.
$12,000 per station per day. Stations three and four are half price, so a big day costs less per head than a small one. Half days are half the rate, on top of one full day minimum. The rate covers crew, lighting, backdrops, equipment, retouching and delivery; travel and accommodation are quoted separately. Price it yourself on the calculator.
Yes. Several backgrounds can run at once, chosen before load-in, including a colour matched to your brand.
You do. Everyone photographed gives their details at the station in order to get their image, and the cleaned list goes to you after the show. Nobody is captured without knowing it.
Retouched. Selection, colour correction and retouching happen off the floor after the show, to the same standard as our studio work, and the finished files go out automatically.
Yes. The studio is in Washington, DC and we work shows all over the country. There is no travel charge inside 25 miles of the DC metro. Anywhere else, travel and accommodation are not included in the day rate and are quoted with the booking as their own line, never as a surprise. Tell us the city and the dates and it is in the quote.
That is one of the best reasons to book it. Your regional and remote people are in the same building for the only time all year. Booth staff usually get shot in the quiet hour before doors open, and the whole team ends up on one consistent look.
No. This page is for expos, trade shows and large events. For your own staff at your office or in our DC studio, that is priced per person and you can price it yourself on the corporate calculator.
