How to Take Better Business Portraits (for happy customers & more profit)

You are a great Teacher and Photographer!!!

How do you deliver them?

I am doing my 1st internship and my task is to do a company excecatives photoshoot this is helpful.

Thank you for usefull information

What about a 135mm with a full frame? A lot of the greatest portrait lenses are in that range. Would you recommand it?

Any tips on how to get an evenly lit grey background? A gradient grey is fairly easy but I'm having trouble getting it evenly lit. Especially in a smaller space. Thanks!

Sehr cool, danke!

Just today during a shot a women aproche me ans says: "I rather go to dentist then to photographer" :D

Thx. Very useful 👍

Great stuff as always. I've done high-volume headshots for a number of years and am working to seriously up my game on environmental images. Thanks Karl - keep up the great work.

I enjoy how gangster you are about the technical and social problems that face the environment of biz headshots...

The taking command and using humor

The posture to fix clothing

The reduction of ambient light


Are my top 3...

I'm going to use my 50mm and led lights to see what I come up with....

Hey Karl, thank you so much for an amazing educational videos. Question; what If a client asks me to give them all the images I shot and they will choose the image they want in their confined space and I don't know when will they get back to me.

So much good information in this video alone. I can only imagine how good your classes are. In fact, I'm going to check them out. Thank you for posting this.

great content! pro!

I have my first corporate shoot coming up - this video helped me tremendously. Thank you. Clear and concise wording, no fuss, straight to the point.
I subscribed and saved your webpage so I can learn more in the future.

absolutely amezing

THANK YOU

The most shocking eye opener to me was offering only one (!) image per subject based on their selection! Indeed that would reduce retouching and selection time a lot and harddisk space as well. Never thought of this, shooting hundreds of frames with different outfits, resulting it many keepers. And the subjects want them all... 🙂

Excellent class

Hi Karl! This is a bit unusual but I need to take 1 headshot of myself with no makeup and ensure the photo reflects as accurately as possible my skin tone for an analysis. what class would you recommend so I can figure out what settings I need etc to achieve this?

Great tips!

I worked as a commercial photographer myself, back in the film area. You really know your s..t, a real pleasure to watch your content.

Hey Karl how do u get business clients?

Great job, Karl, very useful, very clear. Thanks a lot!

He is very clear with his ideas..

Very very useful. Thank you Karl!

Really informative! Thank you

thanks for valued tips and notes

This is right on time for me: I've been commissioned to take portraits of a real estate staff for their website and you have helped me a lot!

This video is packed with great information! Thanks for all the great insight. You nailed everything!

Thanks Karl!

Hi, Karl. Do you think posing table is essential investment for business portrait, I am working in studio. Thanks a lot!

Top tips! Thanks Karl!

Thank you for the video!
I already had a few business shoot but my last one was really bad. I failed at so many things. I appreciate for the info I forgot thinking about.

This video is pure gold!! Thankss!!!!!!

I can tell you really did this with corporate people. Right on the money.

Thanks for the effort and sharing. I am an appreciative subscriber. Stay well. Thumbs up.

These are great tips....If you have the money for an assistant, 20 different light modifiers, etc.
If I can afford all of those, then this video is moot because you make enough money doing your work to afford them.

These videos should be "how to take better business photos if you're flying solo, and have only umbrellas and a few soft boxes." Those people are likely the key demographic that will be watching this video. Not someone with $300+ worth of light modifiers alone.

Excellent point about shooting for the company and not what the individual likes. This also applies to design in that design represents the company (and the brand) not the individual. Not many photographers understand that the brand includes the style of photography used.

Excellent video! Cheers mate 😁

Very informative and confidently delivered video. Thank you Karl! I'm wondering what backgrounds and light modifiers did you use when you first started doing on location business headshots at the beginning of your career? Was it a slow or quick progession to what you use presently? Thank you for your feedback! 🙂

Gracias por tener la opción de traducción al español 🙌🏻

So hard to place your accent, it sounds like New Zealand mixed with Norfolk.

The main and the plain ! Very clear, thanks. You should add a pricing section, it’s very important to cover the whole topic.

your amazing mr karl

There should be more practical lessons.

A master teacher.
