    Thanks so much to @josephodea for showing me all the tips and tricks to corporate headshot photography, what an info packed video!

  2. App Dev says

    Question: How to avoid eye bag shadows please
    thanks👍👍

  3. Curtis Aho says

    5:25– its not the camera body that determines the max shutter speed, its the lights not having HSS.

  4. Tony Comerford says

    Great video, would love to know what Jo woukd recommend as a lighting setup to begin with

  5. William Fong says

    wrong infos, the body can shoot higher than 1/200 with flash, its call HSS, most flash or studio strobe these days has HSS.

  6. John Penrose says

    I would like to find more info on Joseph Odea and how he coaxes the poses. I cannot find any info on him and would like to know a lot more on how to pose my models and what to say to them….The reason behind the different positions are so import….Can you help!!!

  7. Davis T. says

    Nice tutorial

  8. Kit Moc says

    The part where he said "Shhhhtick" gave it away that he is a Peter Hurley fan.

  9. michael reynolds says

    have to disagree about the lens a prime 50mm would have been better

  10. Kevin Escobar says

    This was such a frigging great video!!! Ugh both of you were awesome!

  11. Jorda n says

    The kicker was way too hot

  12. Dave says

    Great video, thanks so much for this. Might have a corporate headshot shoot coming up soon so will be using the 'squinch!'

  13. Paul Bernardi says

    Great Video Javier.

  14. Dj Toman says

    When describing the lens he's using Joe says it's an F/4 "minimum aperture." I know what he means, in that "4" is the lowest aperture number, but this is incorrect and misleading when in fact f/4 is the lens's maximum or widest aperture. I would expect a professional to get that right.

  15. Martin Love says

    Clearly trained by Peter Hurley. Nice.

  16. Brian Goodman says

    this one of the best headshot demo videos on the Tube. so many garbage headshot videos out there, but this was well done.

  17. Jerian says

    This is so amazing!!!! …. I learn so much from this …. thanks so much

  18. Frank Woodbery says

    "Squinch" is a Hurleyism! Good video.

  19. Patrick Burns says

    First set of head shots were in the feminine tilt. Second set was better. Also should not be able to see the refraction between frame of glasses and your right eye. Your head should have been further around. The information was there but the results were not. But that is not to say that the client would not like the images. Just offering some additional critique. Continued good luck in the future.

  20. Christy T says

    Can I ask what lens he was shooting with?

  21. Chrome Zone Beats says

    Super happy to know you are still at it, you are amazing Javier!

  22. Nimrod Sarid says

    Learned so much! Great video!

  23. Raul J. Gomez says

    Very cool. So much info on lighting. Contrast vs clarity. 🤯. “The expression we’ll work on in a second.” 😆. That’s so cool to see the background how these head shots work. Awesome job you guys! 🙌🏽

  24. wow really incredible shots. so much to learn from you guys. big thumbs up!

  25. Lincoln Riddle says

    Great video dude! I have been wanting to do more photography recently. I've gone on trips and not taken any photos…that is such a waste lmao

  26. Randy Parsley says

    Man, that's a lot to digest. another good one!
