Team headshot day · San Diego
In short
Team headshot day in San Diego starts at $1,400: 5 hours on location with a photographer who works in San Diego, and 40 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.
Why choose Team headshot day in San Diego?
Corporate headshots in San Diego are a five-hour on-site studio day for up to 40 people, with one background, one lighting plan and one crop across the whole team, priced from $1,400. The employers who book them are spread out: life-science campuses on Torrey Pines Mesa and in Sorrento Valley, offices downtown and in UTC, and tech and medical-device firms in Carlsbad. That spread is why the studio travels to the team rather than 40 people driving to a studio on the I-5. Teams with a courtyard often ask to shoot outside, and in this city that request changes the paperwork more than the lighting.
Worth knowing about San Diego
Under the City of San Diego Filming Production Guide, a shoot held entirely on private property with no traffic control, equipment in the public right-of-way or other safety triggers needs no City filming registration. A San Diego corporate headshot day that moves its backdrop onto a public plaza or sidewalk must be registered three business days ahead with insurance naming the City, at $1 million per occurrence.

FAQ — Team headshot day in San Diego
Do corporate headshots in a San Diego office need a City filming permit?
No. The City of San Diego Filming Production Guide exempts productions held exclusively on private property that involve none of its public-safety triggers, such as street closures, generators in the right-of-way or special effects. A corporate headshot day inside your San Diego office or private courtyard therefore needs only the building manager’s agreement.
Can a San Diego team be photographed outside on a public plaza instead?
Yes, with notice. Using a City of San Diego street, sidewalk or plaza makes the corporate headshot day a registered production: the Filming Registration Form goes in at least three business days ahead, and the City asks for a certificate of insurance naming it as additional insured, with $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate.
