The ULTIMATE Guide to Corporate Headshots! - Gear, Setup, & Execution

[@carlcrutchfield5681]

10/10 on this video. Start to finish exactly what the budding photographer wants and needs to see, with zero fluff. This was excellently done ✅.

[@user-sk8sr6yg6f]

What a tutorial! You didn't have to go the extra mile with Photoshop actions, but you did. Very generous!

[@shadowthrown]

As someone who's just starting out in photography and looking to book my first gig; id like to say a big thank you for putting out this video. My biggest fear concerning headshot photography was not knowing how to go about it and this just took all of that away. Once again, thank you. Would love to see more videos like this and will definitely be following

[@scawhitwell]

Everything about this video is fantastic. Professional, clear, quick place, the totality from start to finish. Thanks, man.

[@sbrncommunication]

Thank you SO MUCH! It was my first time doing corporate headshot photography and the result came SO GOOD! It's feels like I have 10 years of experience! 🤭

[@helloworld7796]

Never seen a better fully shooting - editing video. And I watched a ton of them. The way you explain DB process, lord. Thank you!

[@jonathanfmarin]

As a pro photographer I can seriously say this is a great quick fire instructional… well done…thanks for doing this video so the rest of us don’t have to. Great Job!

[@bellabug2000]

I did a rewatch and by far this is the best informative video for headshots that I have ever seen. You are such an awesome teacher!

[@bofhberlin]

Great video! Glass before camerabody, wise words! Greetz from Germany

[@laurak.4918]

Thank you for describing your process so clearly and for not being condescending. Really appreciate this truly helpful tutorial.

[@MichaelRBlair]

Great tutorial! I used it, especially the editing section on my first paid shoot and the client loved the results. Thanks!

[@hewadsapand6376]

I have been following lots of photographers but this video was by far more clear, straight to the point, professional and more detailed. Great work and you earned another follower.

[@AaronBProductions]

I just want to say I ran into you outside a camera shop in Houston in 2015. You have always been a memorable face and seeing this video trending on my YT home page was very fulfilling for me to see you passionate and growing in your craft! Amazing work Jason!

[@mikegriffith1680]

Never commented on a YT video until now. What a great tutorial! Thank you! Subscribed.

[@driveonphotography2580]

Nice job on the edit. I have been doing this for a long time and still learned a few things with the LR Selections. Been away from Headshots for a while, so some of the new masks were a great update. Nice work.

[@Geroldsibanda]

One of the best headshot tutorials I have seen! Thanks for being straight forward.

[@JGpro_foto]

One of the best tutorials I have ever seen!! Thank you your the time put into this!!

[@MarcusHutsell]

[@dpfreedman]

Best soup-to-nuts headshot tutorial I've seen on YT and I've seen plenty. Brilliantly done, Jason. Thank you!

[@1killerminpin]

Great video. You not only covered everything but you did it at a pace that anyone can follow. Great work flow.

[@g_pressley]

Great tips and recommendations. Came back to watch this a second time.

[@DEANTRUESDALE]

I have never left a comment before but I had to. This was the most simple yet informative video I have ever seen. My confidence has been elevated. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!

[@Donny_B]

This was the most helpful video I've watched in a while. I genuinely took away new knowledge that I can immediately start using. Awesome video!

[@ofeliaguzman8640]

I’ve never seen such a simplified way to do headshots!! Thank you!!

[@artursandwich1974]

I'm 52 this year. On and off with photography as amateur through my high school and college, then a little client job in my late 30s and I've been getting into more and more serious amateur photography and getting better. Recently (8 months maybe) I started watching instructional videos on YT and learning even more seriously. And only then did I find out for the first time in my life there's a branch of photography called "corporate headshots", which I understand are different from portrait and slightly different from "glamour", as these are styles and that is a line of work. I'm still getting to terms with the market of this thing. I don't think we ever had it here in Poland, we don't have a tradition for it, only with the arrival of big American companies - I guess, I never worked - things have been changing. But I don't think enough to make a living for more than two or three photographers in my area and I reckon they're already working it.

[@matthewshaw9302]

This is a great tutorial. No waffle, nothing confusing, didn’t go over board on technical points and make this complicated at all. Great coaching and presented very well. I really need to learn more in photoshop though 😂🤦‍♂️

[@bartholomewkamuche1301]

Thanks Jason for going all out on this video

[@kennethjonesphotography]

I've seen several headshot photography KZbin videos. But I have to tell you that this one was one of the best I've seen. I really appreciate the very clear and detailed explanations, as well as the detailed edits. Thanks much. I look forward to seeing more from you.

[@JasonOsbornePhotography]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@antoniopadilla7622]

Hands down the best tutorial I’ve seen in the subject 🎉

[@LaShawnLatera]

Wow, you delivered!

[@alf.quijano7582]

[@ptmayas5]

This was such a big help watching you go step by step. Gave a great sense of the workflow of doing Corporate headshots! Amazing Work!

[@JasonOsbornePhotography]

[@Obzrve]

I’ve been doing photographer for over 10 years. For the last two years I stopped, and I was focusing on engineering. Recently started back, started to buy more gear to do more portraits photography.

[@Martin-N-Tracey]

Nice job Jason! You hit all the points I needed to see. Trying to get into headshots coming from weddings and this was a good breakdown. Also loved your post processing 👍🏾

[@GoGetItPeriod]

[@MikeVideos327]

I want to sincerely thank you for this resource. You have legitimately helped me make money.

[@ScammingSeason]

This was by far the best tutorial on photography on KZbin. Def gained a subscriber!

[@boghosghshranian5119]

Thank you for your time, honesty and generosity

[@edshanahan]

Jason, this was excellent. You obviously are a master craftsman who keeps it both simple and elegant. I did have a few questions and things that you might consider emphasizing if you make a future and similar video. 1) Most HS tutorials with white backdrops emphasize the need to really hit the backdrop with a lot of light and to shield the subject from blowback by the use of V-flats, etc and distance from the subject to the background light. You do not use either shields or distance and it is clear later in the video. You are trying to make the background "whiteish" knowing that you can bring it up to pure white in LR. This makes it SO much less technical to shoot on white and is a point you may want to emphasize. 2) info on where you are positioning your Key Light (I think at 5 or 7 o'clock), and why you do not see a needs for a fill light. 3) Examples of shots both with and without the hair light to show how it separates the subject from the white background (it was not obvious to me). Please don't take these points as criticism. I never give constructive feedback but think your excellent video earned my time. Thank you.

[@ezekielgavieres6628]

This is hands down the best tutorial I’ve ever seen!

[@samkellman]

Solid video, thanks for this

[@iamstacyswift]

Wow that’s so sharp and beautiful when you zoom in on it ❤

[@alexeilers6536]

that color dodge and burn trick is sick. thank you!

[@GaryStockton]

What a great, detailed, easy to follow tutorial. I focus mostly on video but get the occasional call for headshots and this was extremely helpful, something I will be referring back to. Thank you Jason.

[@oadefisayo]

This is one of the best headshot videos I've seen on KZbin! Thank you so much

[@MrAlitas80]

Great tutorial! I watched so many tutorials and by far yours is one of, to the point and well explained videos. Great job

[@RebeccaKowalskyPhoto]

this was really wonderful, helpful, and perfect for me - and I have been doing headshots for a while. The editing was especially informative

[@jairsolano]

Thank you very much for such a amazing video. Many videos out there but just a few like this one, I appreciate it, and thanks for sharing your experience. If it is possible could you make a special retouching video, I will really appreciate that. Thanks again!!

[@markrigoglioso]

Thanks for going above board to give us some fresh insights and an excellent starter tutorial.

[@pixrguy]

It was so nice to see that I've been doing a lot of what you do, from lighting setup and techniques to Lightroom editing, nearly mirrors my process actually. The thing I've yet to do is All of the things you did in Photoshop. It is an extremely weak spot for me and something I need to remedy as I hardly ever open Photoshop. Nice video, thank you.

[@francisamarh8415]

Very comprehensive. Thanks for sharing with us

[@scottyboy1835]

Really great video. Just what i have been looking for. Simple breakdown of eveything.

Great job on helping others figure out how to best take headshots, great examples too! keep up the good work.

[@joeep46]

Thanks, Jason. I liked the photo shop portion of this video. Also, the portability of this type of shooting. I have learned my camera pretty well , and now it's time to make some money.

This is so informative. Ty. I am going into early retirement and pursuing headshot photography and your video has been the most helpful

[@daisyenoh3731]

Great tutorial

[@tomievi5612]

Amazing! Thank you for this informative video!

[@JorgePille]

Brilliant!! The only thing I’m not diggin’ is the reflector in the iris. I like just a dot on the pupil from the key light. At least it’s not a ring light though. lol

[@Gerald_G]

THANK YOU!! I completely followed this video to perform my very first headshot job - I watched, re-watched, rewound, all of it multiple, multiple times for the shoot and the editing processes. For editing, I used your Photoshop Actions, which were a huge help (big Thanks again). My client was extremely happy with the results and has booked me for family photos this Fall and a birthday party later this year. All of this, and my primary niche is Real Estate (HDR) Photography. I'm super excited to expand this portrait offering to my Realtor Agents and more. QUESTION: for color grading, do you use the same approach for darker skin? Thanks so much!

[@AngeloDiBen]

That lightroom AI facial features mask has just changed my whole workflow ahha thanks!

[@bradleyhill5088]

Great video, thank you so much. If you ever do a workshop or mentoring, please let me know.

[@ChuckJ7777]

Great walk-through of the lighting and setup.

[@meyliqg1774]

You also have a natural light source to the right. Beautiful walls. I would have used them as well

[@toyindawudu]

You smashed it bro!!!! Love your approach in sharing your end to end process ❤️

[@Marcocanadea]

Man just the video I needed. Thanks so much, really appreciate it!

[@hurrworld]

This was so so helpful! I'd love to see a video on how you rate things, I know some people charge extra for retouches. Also can you please Link the lighting if possible?

[@shanabaker768]

Thank you so much for your video! I have needed this so much for so long! I’m so glad I found you!

[@markcunzolo1659]

Great video Jason! I can't emphasize what he already emphasized enough...if you are a photographer you NEED to learn flash now. I was so scared to make the jump, but I forced myself to start buying Godox flash equipment and to start learning how to use it. It has opened so many doors for my business because there are so many more types of jobs I can take. This is not a joke, so many of my colleagues/competitors in my area do not use flash at all and tell me they are afraid to start using it. Because of that, there are tons of jobs they just can't do because they can't get enough natural light. I'm right there to scoop the jobs up. Plus, potential clients specifically mention to me that they decided to go with me over my competition because my images are so much more striking and bold. If you focus on headshots, start with a Godox ad200pro with your modifier of choice. If you focus on portraits outside, start with a Godox ad400 pro with your modifier of choice. If you focus on events, start with a Godox v860ii along with a Gary Fong light sphere.

[@mikedavis1110]

Great presentation on the info and I look forward to more videos like this.
