On Demand Livestream: Shooting a Corporate Portrait in 10 Minutes

Published 2017-07-06
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.

    Such a delight - besides the great content - that you spared us annoying background-music. Just simple, pure, beautiful teaching! Thank you, Sir! 🙏
  • Best head shot tutorial yet. Anyone can set up lights, not anyone can direct and encourage a non-professional subject. Thank you.
  • @DenisStosic
    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.

  • Probably the best tutorial I’ve seen on here - and I’ve seen a lot. So professional and efficient!
  • @APisceanSlant
    Simple, straightforward and effective. I also enjoyed your banter, with the subject. It's one of the most effective 'tools' a photographer uses, for portrait work.

    Love this. Thanks for the techniques. Your lighting is very straight forward and gives very nice results.
  • 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!

  • @artnomalie
    thank you for sharing a glimpse of your studio work. would you give me a rough idea on how you toned the images - i guess some kind of split toning but it also could be a clever white balance. have a great day!
