Magna Seating brought its global leadership team together at Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth, Michigan, for the three-day 2026 Seating One Magna Conference. The event featured executive presentations, leadership discussions, networking, and team-building activities.

Hugh Anderson Photography was commissioned to document the conference and operate an on-site executive headshot clinic, delivering more than 110 professional headshots alongside comprehensive event photography coverage.

110 Executive Headshots in Three Days

Alongside the conference photography, I operated a mobile headshot studio at Saint John’s Resort, giving Magna Seating attendees the opportunity to update their professional portraits during the event.

Over the three-day conference, I photographed and delivered more than 110 professional headshots, providing attendees with fresh images for LinkedIn, company directories, and other professional uses.

Combining conference coverage with an on-site headshot clinic allowed Magna Seating to capture both the energy of the event and individual portraits of its team members.

 Client Review

“I wish I could give more than five stars for how incredible Hugh was at our event! I hired him to photograph a large global conference for my team last week, and he absolutely exceeded every expectation. From capturing key moments to delivering high-quality, dynamic shots, his work was nothing short of exceptional.

We also hosted an on-site headshot clinic, and the results were outstanding! Polished, professional, and truly elevated headshots for my guests. Hugh has an incredible eye for detail and a talent for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I genuinely can’t say enough great things about Hugh and his work. My takeaway is simple: HIRE HUGH! You will not be disappointed!”
