Thank you sir for these tips! Question, where else can we find standard pricing for portrait work? Loved this video, if possible, please make more videos where you mention pricing. Thanks 🙂
What kind of tripod were you using?
thanks for posting the pricing break down!
amazingly helpful!
I don't believe company are paying that high price
Thank you !!
Very useful and insightful thank you!
Wow, that is much money for few work. I made 5eur per photo and result was great. 100-200eur for couple hours of shooting is good ,but 3000 is overprice imho
a great clip and I took alot of good tips from it, thanks!
Can you explain the difference in price you charge for the headshots $2500-$3000 and the full day rate of $2000-$2500
Definitely learned a lot from this video. Straight forward and great information
Thank you that was really helpful um i have a question how much do photographers normally charge for normal portraits with edits? I'm asking because i dont live in the USA
Great video! I really like how you talked technical about the shoot and also covered what to charge. Most photographers don’t talk about what they charged for the shoot! Keep up the great work JP!
Double Windsor. I never knew the term! Nice job! Appreciated the whole thought.
Would to learn more about corporate headshots and pricing.
Excellent tips 'n' techniques.
Great video, lots of good tips. I noticed was that the camera was above the subject's eye level, and I usually try not to shoot "down" at the subject. Also – did you raise or lower the camera to correspond with the subject? Thanks!
I really appreciate no BS pricing guide, great video as always J.P.
What SPECIFIC rights does the client get and for how long?
Very useful info
Lot's of useful info here sir. I shoot a LOT of medical, lawyer, "professional genre" headshots. This video is literally my life, LOL. CANT underestimate the need for this segment of photography given the explosion of the work-from-home types as well. Keep on clickin'!
Nice and informative! 🙂
Have a good week!
I am God!!!
helpful, appreciated.
How many photos would you submit per person generally? Just the one? I have not gotten to the point of full scale paid gigs yet.
Super helpful and the simple setup helps with efficiency. I hope there's a part 2 on editing headshots like that. Is it really any different than normal?
Is it a bad idea to be charging a fixed price per headshot taken?
Another great video. Love the simplicity and how effective a simple setup can be. Thanks
Thank you for this video. A lot of questions answered.
You do need to bring in MUA
Jay, so helpful.
What do you ask to determine whether you will shoot vertical or landscape frames? I noticed your examples are all vertical. Thanks for sharing this, love the foldable wagon and foldable stepstool tips!
southamerica 500$ tops 🙁
great stuff – i bounce between heaadshots/portraits/creative/concept shoots for models, actors, musicians, performers and have only done a very few corporate or business shots – would like to get more of that business but cold calling is not my thing so I will give advertising a try see if can get something!
Excellent! I learn so much from your channel! I'm beginning to network for corporate headshot work in the new area I moved to. Is your Quick Shoot pricing per person for a certain number (~5) and without Assistant/Makeup? Thank you!
Thanks. Can't say enough about the importance of that small step stool you mentioned. It's very, very valuable to stand just a bit higher than your subject, and shoot ever so slightly down, so the under-chin area is minimized. Without it, clients will very frequently express mild to stronger concern about how their under-chin area looks. People with a few too many pounds, people with skin that doesn't look college-age anymore 😉 and just about everyone will benefit from this tiny little angle increase.
Love this! I have to take corporate headshots all the time for my work so it's nice to see I'm getting similar results! Could you do a video about corporate portraits with environmental backgrounds? Maybe outside and inside? I might just be limited by my glass, but I can never get a nice "creamy" depth of field unless I luck up on a super long hallway or real open work space.
Great advice as usual!
Great video!
