One of the jobs you will find yourself doing as a portrait photographer is Corporate Headshots. This isn’t usually glamorous work. You often only have a couple of minutes with each person and so speed and consistency are the name of the game. In this video I share a pretty comprehensive overview of the system I use when shooting Corporate Headshot Photography. I hope you pick up some useful tips.
Share it on if you found it helpful.

Fantastic video Sean. Thank you!
Just fantastic – very comprehensive
Great work Sean – you just made tomorrow's shoot a whole lot smarter! Cheers from Toronto
Fantastic video and explanation of your process. Thanks!!
This was excellent!! I learned a lot! Thank you!
Great video Sean, thanks
shukran very much
Best tutorial yet. Thank you
It's really amazing how he's encouraging you not to use a lightmeter. I love how it just kept tinkering until it looked right, when he could have had it done in 2 seconds if he just used a lightmeter… This video promotes alot of bad habits
16:14 What about Back Button Focus?
15:51 I wish more photo places/photographers did that. Customers of mine send me pics for the business cards and websites nicely cut right through the shoulder….total PIA.
I only watched this video out of personal interest, just to see what other photographers are doing. Having many years of experience with corporate head shots, I was not expecting to learn a lot of new information. All I can say is "thank you, thank you, thank you!" So many great tips! This was one of the most practical tutorials I have ever seen. I instantly hit the subscribe button after viewing it, and I have never done that before. Keep up the great work! I do have one question for Sean. If you were required to use a neutral gray (or darker) backdrop, would you keep the strip box in the same position? Thanks.
Thank you so much. Subscribed.
How did you select your ND stop point?
Great content, Sean. Thank you very much for sharing!
Great instructional video, but I can't believe you actually hand your camera over to butter-fingered people to potentially drop. I always attached my camera to a solid tripod for just such purpose. Keep up the great work!
Good tutorial! Thanks.
What is that roller case you have all your gear in? Very helpful video thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Following now 👍👍
Love the two-line trick for making it quick and easy to add or subtract mood! Thanks for this great video.
Finally someone talking technique and workflow, not equipment! Really nice and comprehensive video, Very helpful. Thank you!
You are incredible, Sean! So much learned in only 23min. Awesome.
sooo thorough, love it, thank you!
5d MK what??
Proof it is not the camera, but the technical know how.
Excellent content – so refreshing to see professionalism presented in such a practical and matter-of-fact way. The mark of a true professional; delightfully understated.
What is one does not have a type of key light like shown here with the umbrella but has two softboxes? would that do the same job?
Really well done man. Very usable info here and well demonstrated. Are you using the Bowens trigger for those strobes. To solve the HSS issue you'd need a different transmitter and transceiver for the strobes?
ND is unnecessary…..if you can't remotely set your lights just shot on iso 200 or a bit higher to have the headroom to go lower or higher as needed. Nowdays DSLRs/ Mirrorless camera can handle perfectly with some higher ISO than 100. Nice video
okay Mr sean you're officially my mentor
very helpful, thanks Sean!
Great video. Thabkd for sharing! Where do you buy the background paper roll?
this is awesome stuff! one thing I wish you could have explained a bit more was how you decide when to increase or decrease your ND filter and what stop do you have it set at default?
Incredible information, thank you Sean!
This vid makes me so exited , I’m getting my headshots at the end of next month
At 8:00, better use a leafshutter camera LOL 🙂
God your skin is awful. Great video though.
Sean Tucker what strobes do you use? The strobes I own I feel like are way over powered for indoor shoots (AD600) – What settings or specs do you recommend when picking a flash?
Really great !!!
This video is fantastic! Lot's of great info here…
I was intimidated at first by your lighting setup as I only have a single strobe and a softbox continuous light. But as I kept watching I found myself pausing, rewinding and taking a ton of notes.
I have a shoot on Friday and already feel better about it!
Love the tip of letting the client choose the photo, write their name and the photo # on a sheet of paper and take another shot! I was trying to figure out how best to approach photo selection and this seems to check all the boxes.
Cheers!
