Portrait Photography - Why I Shoot For The EYES!

In a great portrait, the eyes allow me to connect with the subject and establish a relationship and share it with others who view the finished photograph.

I love how the eyes overlap between the shots when you scroll through the portraits.
Thank you for sharing such inspirational work.

You have the coolest wardrobe hands down.

I've only just discovered your work Joe - can't explain why, as I've been into photography for years. All I can say is, great work. Very inspiring and I love the philosophy you project. Keep it up!

[FrankNazario]

definitively the team and network of stylists, make up artists and wardrobe  that Joe has is amazing ... would love it you could also share those... your photography is top notch. The team you have created around you is amazing!
Kudos Joe.

Videos are so well done, so professional that they make you feel like a professional after watching them. This is the magic of a true art.

[WilliamParmley]

Such incredibly, stunning, captivating beauty. I'm at a loss for words...

[BradStyron]

Such great work and I love the video editing! 

[treycolston]

Great Video. Especially the way it was edited. Zipping thru the numerous headshots. And I *LOVE* the Music. What sound track is that?

[TheUberSchattenjager]

Wow Joe! I too have just discovered your channel. After following a few of the usual YT suspects, I thought all the instructional bases were pretty much covered, but oh no! I really appreciate your thoughtful, friendly way of shedding light the technical sides of creativity. Bravo! Thank you for the energy you put into these videos - and for the inspiration!

[kirksturgulewski]

Love this video, very inspirational for photographers!

[joepulliam]

I wholly agree: the model is not just a "model", she or he is a person, a human being. I, too, shoot for the eyes. I know it drove a lot of my fellow Marines nuts when I always coaxed them into looking right into the camera lens (back in my film days of the late 80s & 90s), but they always liked the end result. Cheers Joe!

[InLoto]

Impressive and beautiful work, I love the inspirational feeling of your video, thanks!

[Bishnu_Deb]

Joe, dude, that was a bad ads video. That advice about the eyes is on point!!!

[sergecouvrette]

I have been pressing pausejust to see your pictures :-). Great video Joe and also very good and inspiring work :-)

[shadyninja]

The eye thing is another turning point for me. I will try to pay more attention to the eyes as from now on.
It's registers a connection/link.
Thanks

I am re-watching this just 3h before having my second headshots session with a young actress. As always your video are very inspiring and very well edited. In this video I do not know why, but your face reminds me a bit Ben Stiller even if the "mood" of this video is different from the "mood" of his movies.👍
Your shirts always rocks!

Hello joe, I recently come accross your content. Wow the best thing that happened to me. Especially with this video you seem to incorporate beautiful shots with beautiful music. One question I have is do you post process the eyes to be more sharp and also remove blemishes? For the second do you think is neccessary for beauty shots? Thanks. Giannis
