Headshot photographer in San Sebastián

A team headshot day lives or dies on consistency, and here the weather helps. From October to May, cloud is the default, so the daylight from the office windows barely changes between the person at nine and the person at four, which is the thing forty portraits need if they are going to look like one company. The same sky is soft and slightly cool, easy on faces and forgiving of the tired ones. The one thing to plan for is the wet: it rains roughly one day in three, and a set that depends on the weather is a set that gets rescheduled, so it goes indoors, beside the window.

When to book in San Sebastián

Pick a day when most of the team is in. Monday mornings and Friday afternoons are thin in any office, and in San Sebastián late July and August thin them further, with people on holiday and the city given over to Semana Grande in the middle of the month. September, and the months from October to June, suit a team day best. The hour makes little difference to the result here: under the cloud that covers the city on most days from autumn to spring, window light changes slowly, and the set’s own light keeps everyone matched if it does. A schedule of one person every few minutes, with a buffer in mid-morning for latecomers, keeps the day moving. If a few people also want an outdoor portrait, place those at the start, before any rain the forecast is holding back for the afternoon.
