What a tutorial! You didn't have to go the extra mile with Photoshop actions, but you did. Very generous!

[sbrncommunication]

Thank you SO MUCH! It was my first time doing corporate headshot photography and the result came SO GOOD! It's feels like I have 10 years of experience! 🤭

[bellabug]

I did a rewatch and by far this is the best informative video for headshots that I have ever seen. You are such an awesome teacher!

[scawhitwell]

Everything about this video is fantastic. Professional, clear, quick place, the totality from start to finish. Thanks, man.

As someone who's just starting out in photography and looking to book my first gig; id like to say a big thank you for putting out this video. My biggest fear concerning headshot photography was not knowing how to go about it and this just took all of that away. Once again, thank you. Would love to see more videos like this and will definitely be following

[carlcrutchfield]

10/10 on this video. Start to finish exactly what the budding photographer wants and needs to see, with zero fluff. This was excellently done ✅.

Jason, this was excellent. You obviously are a master craftsman who keeps it both simple and elegant. I did have a few questions and things that you might consider emphasizing if you make a future and similar video. 1) Most HS tutorials with white backdrops emphasize the need to really hit the backdrop with a lot of light and to shield the subject from blowback by the use of V-flats, etc and distance from the subject to the background light. You do not use either shields or distance and it is clear later in the video. You are trying to make the background "whiteish" knowing that you can bring it up to pure white in LR. This makes it SO much less technical to shoot on white and is a point you may want to emphasize. 2) info on where you are positioning your Key Light (I think at 5 or 7 o'clock), and why you do not see a needs for a fill light. 3) Examples of shots both with and without the hair light to show how it separates the subject from the white background (it was not obvious to me). Please don't take these points as criticism. I never give constructive feedback but think your excellent video earned my time. Thank you.

[oadefisayo]

This is one of the best headshot videos I've seen on YouTube! Thank you so much

Never seen a better fully shooting - editing video. And I watched a ton of them. The way you explain DB process, lord. Thank you!

[DEANTRUESDALE]

I have never left a comment before but I had to. This was the most simple yet informative video I have ever seen. My confidence has been elevated. Thank you, Thank you, Thank

[naviahjohnson]

Love the video. Keep in mind that the shutter speed is in charge of the ambient light not the aperture!

[mikegriffith]

Never commented on a YT video until now. What a great tutorial! Thank you! Subscribed.

[AaronBProductions]

I just want to say I ran into you outside a camera shop in Houston in 2015. You have always been a memorable face and seeing this video trending on my YT home page was very fulfilling for me to see you passionate and growing in your craft! Amazing work Jason!
