BusinessPortraits.ca is configured for auto and manufacturing teams: an on-site headshot day that takes each person a few minutes, not an afternoon, photographing shop-floor and office staff to one company standard, scheduled around your shifts.

Can shop-floor and office staff hold to one set of headshots?

Yes, and that consistency is the point. BusinessPortraits.ca photographs a line operator, a sales manager, and a vice-president in the same on-site setup, to the same framing, lighting, crop, and background, so your people read as one team across the whole company.

The standard is yours, not ours. Your company sets the look once, and BusinessPortraits.ca holds it across every site and over time, so a new hire photographed next year matches the team page they join.

An environmental portrait is a headshot photographed in a real workplace setting rather than against a plain backdrop. For a directory-clean look, a session can use a backdrop in white or a colour; for context, an environmental portrait shows the real workplace behind the person. Both run to your one standard, so the library stays cohesive.

Who do you photograph across the auto and manufacturing sector?

BusinessPortraits.ca photographs the full range of auto and manufacturing employers across the GTA: automakers and vehicle manufacturers, parts and advanced-manufacturing suppliers, dealership and showroom networks, and auto services and auction operations. Each commissions portraits for leadership pages, staff directories, sales sites, and recruiting materials.

01

Automakers and vehicle manufacturers

BusinessPortraits.ca has photographed teams at Ford Motor Company, Honda Canada, Hyundai Canada, and Yamaha, covering leadership, head office, and plant staff to one standard.

02

Parts and advanced manufacturers

Magna International, Collins Aerospace, and Kruger Inc are among the manufacturers photographed, from engineering and leadership to plant and operations teams across EV, battery, and aerospace work.

03

Dealership and showroom networks

Sales advisors, service teams, and managers are photographed across multiple locations, so a dealer group's website reads consistently from one rooftop to the next.

04

Auto services and auction operations

Cox Automotive Canada and Manheim Canada are among the services and auction clients photographed, across operations and leadership teams.

How does an on-site headshot day fit around your production?

BusinessPortraits.ca brings the full setup to a boardroom or office at your facility and photographs staff in a steady rotation, a few minutes each, so people leave their station briefly and return to work. Scheduling is staggered around your shifts, so day and night staff are covered on the same standard.

The whole rig travels in one trip and needs only a boardroom-sized footprint of 8.5 by 5 feet, so no one leaves the facility for an offsite studio. The camera connects to a live preview monitor on set, so each person sees their shot and confirms they are happy with it before heading back; final selections come later, when your team reviews the proofs.

Shop-floor staff are pulled in small groups between tasks and photographed to the same look as the office, so the finished library reads as one company. The same setup serves the auto side: BusinessPortraits.ca photographs automaker leadership at head office and sales and service teams across dealerships, on-site and to one standard.

Coverage of people at work

BusinessPortraits.ca photographs people at work, your operations and facility, for recruiting, reports, and your website. Coverage is captured on-site, in full safety gear where a site requires it, and runs as its own session.

Which session fits your team?

Which session fits depends on where your people are. Most auto and manufacturing teams run an on-site day at the facility for the bulk of staff, send individuals to the studio, and use a multi-site program to standardize every plant and dealership.

Can we keep our roster current across every plant and dealership?

Yes. An annual subscription keeps your portraits current as people are hired, promoted, and moved between sites, all to one standard in one library. Plans start at $5,000 a year for Essential, $15,000 for Growth, and $30,000 for Enterprise.

10% account credit

Multi-plant automakers and dealer networks, highest cadence.

90-Day Pilot. Convert to an annual subscription within 90 days and 100% of the pilot fee transfers as account credit.

Account credit is a bonus percentage added on top of a subscription deposit, expanding the spendable credit balance across the 12-month term. The credit is 10% on Essential, 15% on Growth or 7.5% on quarterly payment, and 20% on Enterprise or 10% on quarterly payment. Your deposit covers sessions, prints, and executive portraits as they're booked, and the account credit widens what that budget covers.

A single plant or dealership usually enters at Essential or Growth; multi-plant automakers and dealer networks enter at Growth or Enterprise, where the cadence and the number of sites are highest. To test the fit first, run a single team day under pilot terms: convert to an annual subscription within 90 days and 100% of the pilot fee transfers as account credit.

How do manufacturing and auto teams get headshots on-site?

  • BusinessPortraits.ca brings the full setup to a boardroom or office at your facility and photographs staff in a steady rotation, a few minutes each, so people return to their station quickly. Scheduling is staggered around your shifts, so day and night staff are covered on the same standard, on a day that suits your schedule.

  • No. Each person is photographed in a few minutes and goes straight back to work. BusinessPortraits.ca runs a steady rotation and pulls shop-floor staff in small groups between tasks, so the session moves through your team without holding up the line.

  • BusinessPortraits.ca comes to your facility. The full setup travels in one trip and fits a boardroom-sized space, so no one leaves the facility for an offsite studio. A private-studio session is also available for individuals and small groups who prefer to book at the studio.

  • Everyone is photographed in the same on-site setup, to one standard your company sets. BusinessPortraits.ca holds that standard across departments and over time, and keeps your setup on file, so a line operator and a vice-president match, and new hires next year match the team they join.

  • Yes. BusinessPortraits.ca staggers the rotation across shifts so day, afternoon, and night staff are all photographed to the same look. A multi-day plan covers large plants and several locations on one shared standard.

  • Yes. Sales advisors, service teams, and managers are photographed across your dealer group's locations, on-site at the dealership or showroom or at the studio. The same standard runs across every rooftop, so your website and listings stay consistent as staff change.

  • Headshots start at the same $226.98 per-person rate as the rest of the site, with a group discount from 20% at two or more people to 65% on the largest team days. Larger multi-site programs are quoted per project. Full pricing and worked examples are on the pricing page.

  • Delivery runs in two stages. Colour corrected proofs are ready in 2 business days for selection, then high-resolution retouched images follow in 8 business days. Subscribers receive faster delivery, at 5 business days, and 3 business days on the Enterprise tier.

  • Yes. BusinessPortraits.ca offers process and facility photography: documentary coverage of your operations and people at work, for recruiting, reports, and your website. It is its own session, distinct from a headshot day.

  • Most run an annual subscription, which keeps portraits current as people are hired and promoted across sites. Tiers start at $5,000 for Essential, $15,000 for Growth, and $30,000 for Enterprise, each adding account credit, and a 90-Day Pilot lets your company test the fit before committing.
