Biotech Headshots South San Francisco
South San Francisco is the birthplace of modern biotechnology. From the founding of Genentech in 1976 to the over 250 biotech and life sciences companies that operate here today across more than 12 million square feet of research and office space, SSF is one of the most concentrated and consequential life sciences corridors in the world.
Genentech, Gilead Sciences, Amgen, Cytokinetics, Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Veracyte, Theravance Biopharma, and hundreds of clinical-stage and growth-stage biotech companies all call South San Francisco home. These are organizations where the leadership team, the scientific advisory board, and the clinical development group all appear on company websites, investor materials, conference presentations, press releases, and LinkedIn profiles — and where a professional, consistent headshot is part of the credibility stack that matters to investors, partners, and prospective talent evaluating whether to join.

A headshot that works for a press release needs to hold up when reproduced at small size in a trade publication. One that works on LinkedIn needs warmth and approachability at thumbnail scale. One that works in an S-1 needs to communicate the kind of leadership credibility that institutional investors are specifically evaluating. We understand all three contexts and deliver images that work across all of them.

A leadership team of 10 people typically wraps in 2 hours including setup.
