Noise.
It’s the first thing that hits you as you step into the office. Phones ring. Managers rush to and from meetings. Writers hastily punch away at keyboards in a desperate attempt to finish their latest project. A clock ticks from a distant wall, slowly pulling time away from the employees below.
Somehow, amid this hustle and bustle, you’re supposed to take a corporate shot.
But time is precious here. They can’t wait for you to set up your lighting, snap shot after shot in order to get it right.
All you’ve got is ten minutes.
Deep breaths.
You don’t need to panic. Join internationally sought after photographer Joey Quintero as he shows you, step by step, how to nail any corporate portrait in just ten minutes.

Brilliant, thank you for this video.
What I do not get is, I see a reflector to his right but a shadow on the final photo. Then you look at the subject at 3:55 the light in the screen and the light on the subject photo on the screen is different. I see no shadow on the subject when he posing for the shot but there is not on the screen next to him. Also, there is a lot of shadows right behind the subject. Can I assume that the flash takes care of that?
Thanks a lot for sharing, this has been very helpful. I was wondering ho the background is lit. Is it only the kicker light?
That took way too long
Fantastic informative video. You make it look so easy which is an art!
Love this. Thanks for the techniques. Your lighting is very straight forward and gives very nice results.
Picture at 7.59 shows an authority figure and I love it 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Best head shot tutorial yet. Anyone can set up lights, not anyone can direct and encourage a non-professional subject. Thank you.
This is one of the best videos that I have ever seen. Straight to the point, excellent demonstration and easy to follow.
Nice video. Thanks! I've seen a couple of other videos where photographers have subject lean into the shot. What's the purpose behind this?
Excellent job, Joey. Beautiful high-quality shots and exceptional professionalism.
Excelent! Congratulations on your work.
fantastic
Nice and easy explanation, great shots, simple setup! What lens?
These turned out so great! My Dad has been shooting corporate portraits since the 60's and I've been fortunate to see how he interacts with his clients besides just the technical side of portrait photography. Subscribed! Love this photographer's professionalism and great work!
Interesting to watch someone else do something I done many times. Nice to see a different take. Appreciate the share. But one puzzling question… Why do you shoot FIVE frames that are all nearly identical. Why don't you verbally engage with him more to get less posed expressions?
Great video… very informative…! Thank you 👍🏼
Two thumbs up! Very professional and very helpful,thank you for sharing!
Excellent video. To make a long story short, as Joey Quintero always says, this video is very educative.
Best corporate "to do" video that I have seen yet. You did probably 20 poses and in 10 minutes and gave the client a variety of image that use. I do have a question to ask . . . the kicker or hair light you had; I was watching it and it look like there might been a honeycomb grid on you. Was that the case or just the angle in which the video was shot?
Do you have impact battery operated studio strobe with elinchrom mount?
very useful to see this. Good work with the model
Never touch your subject!
I do tethering in this studio photo shoot using a 4k graphics card on my PC into a Samsung 4k monitor using Capture One. This greatly helps on the person who decides either they like it or not the photo of themselves and its been a great help and I've been using this method ever since. Using capture One you can do ahead of time, white balance and color correction with Passport Color Checker using a subject as a temporary model before doing the actual photo shoot of the clients themselves & thats is when your ten minutes starts. But then again it is never 10 minutes.
Besides the high-quality shots, I like the relationships between photographer and the client. The communication skills are very important and you Sir, showed how to do it. Thank you for this tutorial.
Beautiful !! . Do you mind sharing the power setting on the strobes and the aperture used? Also at what distance was the subject from the backdrop .Thanks much!
I hope you are not using films, I think you did too much work
Thank you very much – very helpful! I was surprised that the beauty dish is so far away.
