Kinser Studios

Headshots for people who dislike cameras

Professional headshots, team portraits and event photography come from Kinser Studios in Salt Lake City, Utah. The studio says it works well with people who feel awkward in front of a camera, building confidence through friendly direction, positioning and posing.

Team and company portraits

Team headshots are sessions for groups and companies that need matching portraits. The studio also photographs local companies that want images to help them reach their target audiences and attract their ideal clients.

Event photography at conventions

Event photography covers corporate events and conventions, including sessions held in a trade show booth where visitors stop to have their picture taken. The studio describes this as a way to draw people to an exhibitor's booth.

How a session runs

Sessions begin with a consultation over video, where the photographer explains the process and answers questions before booking. On the day, the studio uses its equipment and training to capture warm, confident images, and it reviews the pictures with the client during the session so that changes can be made on the spot. The studio describes the experience as comfortable and fun, with images clients can use for years.

Who books

The studio's clients include professionals who dislike being photographed, people who want a professional image for their business profile, and teams and companies that need images for their own marketing. The studio says it is the right photographer for anyone who has never had a professional headshot before. Its published description of the process lists friendly communication and direction, equipment and training aimed at warm and confident images, and a workflow that lets clients review pictures in real time and ask for changes. The studio also says its sessions suit people who want to grow their network by showing their personality in their images.
