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.

Loved the video
Great Video. Especially the way it was edited. Zipping thru the numerous headshots. And I LOVE the Music. What sound track is that?
This is such a stunning video!
Joe, dude, that was a bad ads video. That advice about the eyes is on point!!!
So cool video.
Your videos are awesome, Joe. I am highly inspired by watching your videos. Heartfelt thanks ๐ for sharing your ideas with us. Love ๐ from ๐ฎ๐ณ India.
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
I love your art! It inspires me.
This is truly next level stuff. Wow.
I have been pressing pausejust to see your pictures :-). Great video Joe and also very good and inspiring work ๐
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
really like your channel and tips `n tricks, you got yourself a new subscriber Joe..
Absolutely amazing video
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.
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.๐
Your shirts always rocks!

That's portait as it was intended to be.๐๐พ
Love this video, very inspirational for photographers!
Fire Video! Joe always has the juice!
Impressive and beautiful work, I love the inspirational feeling of your video, thanks!
Awesome shots and I can see from the catch lights you used different lighting and all to great effect. Without taking any merit from you, the beautiful models helped a lot in the making of these amazing images.
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!
Such incredibly, stunning, captivating beauty. I'm at a loss for words…
It's all in the eyes.
Real great ๐๐๐
Excellent
