01 / THE BUSINESS CONTEXT

A Coworking Space That Wanted to Give Members More

Industrious Tower 49 is a coworking location in Midtown Manhattan. Its members are founders, executives, consultants, and creatives who come in every day to do serious work.

Justice Hatterson, the location’s General Manager, wanted a member benefit that matched that. A professional headshot fit the brief:

  • High value to every member
  • Useful right away on LinkedIn, websites, email signatures, and proposals
  • No ongoing cost after the day

Demand showed up early. Eighty members signed up before the session, counting the waitlist.

When you give professionals something useful, they show up. And they tell people.

02 / THE CHALLENGE

Volume Without the Assembly Line

The question was execution. One session in a working coworking space had to photograph enough members to justify the production. Every person still needed to feel cared for.

THE CHALLENGE IN BRIEF

  • 80 sign-ups for one session in a live workspace.
  • A personal experience for every member, at volume.
  • A fixed close at 2:00 p.m.
  • Handle volume: 80 sign-ups for a single day.
  • Work in a live office: the set ran inside a working coworking floor.
  • Keep it personal: each member needed direction and a say in their final images.
  • Finish on time: the session had a fixed close at 2:00 p.m.

03 / THE CREATIVE RESPONSE

How We Ran a Full Headshot Day On-Site

JFP Studios ran the full production. Justice Hatterson handled member communication and scheduling on the Industrious side.

WHAT WE DID / KEY DECISIONS

  • Split the work: JFP Studios ran production, and Industrious ran sign-ups.
  • Select on set: each member picked two favorites on screen.
  • Keep it moving: members came in by work block, with room for walk-ins.

01. Splitting the Work With the Client

Each side owned what it knew best:

  • JFP Studios: camera setup, professional lighting, posing direction, participant flow, on-the-spot image selection in Lightroom, and behind-the-scenes documentation
  • Industrious: member invitations, sign-ups, and scheduling

The crew had three people:

  • Jordi-Lakeem Foster: producer
  • Jerome Eunis: lead photographer
  • Jose Sosa: production assistant

One setup, one look: every member was photographed in the same window light.

02. Building a Set for Volume and Quality

The setup was built to move people through quickly without rushing anyone. Every member went through the same three steps:

  • Jerome directed the poses.
  • Member and photographer reviewed the shots on screen together.
  • The member picked two favorite images before the next person stepped in.

Justice scheduled members in groups by work block, so the flow stayed steady all day. Jose managed the door and documented the day. That footage gives both Industrious and JFP Studios content for future marketing.

03. Making Room for Walk-Ins

Word spread inside the building while the session ran. Ten members who had not signed up came by and were photographed. The session still closed on schedule at 2:00 p.m., and teardown finished promptly.

What this project demonstrates

Eighty sign-ups showed the demand before the day began, and ten walk-ins showed it grew during the event. When you give professionals something useful, they show up and tell their colleagues.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can you photograph in one headshot day?

At Industrious Tower 49, we photographed 75 members and 6 staff in 3 hours and 40 minutes.

Do participants choose their own photos?

Yes. Each member reviewed shots on screen with the photographer and picked two favorites before leaving the set.

What does the host need to handle?

Invitations, sign-ups, and scheduling. JFP Studios handles setup, lighting, direction, image selection, and teardown.

How do you keep a headshot day moving?

Schedule people in groups. At Tower 49, members came in by work block, which kept the flow steady from the first photo to the last.

Can walk-ins join a headshot day?

Yes, if the schedule has room. Ten unregistered members joined the Tower 49 session, and the day still ended on time.

Counts come from the JFP Studios session record for June 4, 2026.
