Thanks to Peter Hurley for teaching me many of these tips.
Is there a video of best practices for a headshot photo shoot for young musician artists? I need to get headshots done for several young musicians.
yep, Thank you Peter Hurley!! SHABANG!!!
Yes, definitely. Part 2, please.
Thank you!
I’ve seen some of these tips before, but never so clearly explained. Thanks!
Yes, we need part 2. Please...
Yep. Part 2 would be awesome.
I've spent my entire life as the Before pose. I'm horribly unphotogenic and have NO idea what my face is doing when someone is taking a photo of me. Family photos make me want to run and hide - and sometimes I do. So anyway, here I am, 75 years old and going to try your fabulous tips for a less weird looking me. THANK YOU!😄
You’re welcome!
John, you are helping a generation of men, who never knew they needed assistance or how to ask for it. So many men are having to reboot their lives. Thank you.
Much appreciated! You're welcome!
This info is gold!!! The squinting alone is worth the price of admission!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic. My wife and I took a few photos; what a difference this makes. A part 2 would definitely be appreciated
Thanks Chris!
@@40OverFashion What's up with a part 2? Totally looking forward to this if you do.
Yes !!!
Here’s one I missed. Thanks again John
LOVE THIS …please make a video that goes on for an hour! I could watch these tips all day long.
Thank you very much!
I am a fan, but must say this is one of your best videos.
Wow! I just tried it out. Went to the bathroom mirror, squint and smirk and I couldn‘t believe how good I was looking in that mirror! And I was thinking: I know something you don‘t know, baby! I never liked myself in pictures but now I can‘t wait somebody wants to take a picture of me :-D. Thanks a million!
Thanks!! This was great! Who knew! You are good John!!!
LOL! Thank you very much!
I’m turning 40 this year and realize that my face is changing. I no longer look good in pictures with the ease I had before. I know I need to tweak my smile and the way I pose. This is perfect. Thank you!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Excellent advice. Just in time for my cruise!
This is great. I worked professionally for many years taking these types of photos. I learned a lot from you. One of my tricks was 'the beauty angle is the camera is always above the nose,' which your chicken move also does. And you absolutely prove your point over and over again. Well done.
Thank you!
Awesome!!! I'm a wedding photographer and this is great stuff!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been doing exactly the opposite Ian every picture. That explains why I look like crap in photos.
Now you know! Thanks William!
Me too! Nice to be corrected
Holy smokes! One of the most useful videos I've seen on the Internet in a while. Good stuff.
Thank you!
A man of different talents, John you're a gentleman, and a scholar.
Thank you very much!
Dang, this is EXACTLY! What I was looking for, I knew there was a tried and true formula I was looking for!
Very interesting. Would love to see a part 2.
Thanks Eric!
Thank you SO much for sharing these tips!! ❤❤
Excellent tips! Thank you.
I did the squinting very briefly after watching this vid and it totally works. What a difference when i just took two selfies.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks John. 👍🏻
"She knows something you don't know." Yes, I've used that to convey confidence, not just in photos, but in person. I pretend I just got some amazing inside information or the job offer of a lifetime, but I'm keeping it to myself for the moment and savoring it. Can't help but squint and smirk.
Yes! Exactly!
Awesome trick! Your body knows what to do (most of the time)
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS!
Thank you for watching!
This is amazing advice! Just today I was on dating apps and I could not help but shake my head at the number of profile pics in which people looked so unapproachable. It amazes me how people just don't see it in their own pics. I will certainly be re-evaluating my own pics after this lesson, so thanks!
Thank you for commenting! I think I might do a follow up video for dating apps.
Great techniques that I’ll use! Thank you!
I've been asked to paint a portrait professionally but had no idea how to do a photoshoot for it. Clueless. This is brilliant as it opens options and you teach simply and practically. This is very generous, open sharing by a professional and appreciated. Yes, part two please. The photoshoot for a large portrait of my four kids took 250 shots, 90 minutes and Photoshop to piece together a "shared" moment. My kids are more patient than someone who is paying.
Most people have no idea how many shots it takes to get an acceptable image. I do landscapes, and might shoot about 100 images of anything, a rock, tree, some clouds, to get one I am pleased with. As for portraits, I don't do people. Except my grandchildren and was recently asked to do a head shot for Linked-In. I wish I had known this stuff when I did that, but fortunately he is so handsome and photogenic it is hard to take a bad photo of him. But I was sweating it.
You rock, simple twists big churn outs! Look forward to ▶️2
Really useful, some outdoor advice would be great, thanks.
Thank you!
Your best video for a while John
Perfect timing! I just lost my job and am going freelance at 62 years young. In this brave new world, I will need a "persona" on social media and my website. I have booked a photographer for my photoshoots, and this is a TOTALLY new experience for me! Thanks so much for the tips, especially as I am a little bigger than previously planned.
Wishing you good luck!
Yes, that "little bigger" part is a real challenge. Filed under: "Things we took for granted while young."
Very similar. I was really surprised how effective it is. All the best with your next journey and freelance work.
Good luck!!
what a guy! always sharing, thanks buddy.
Brilliant as usual, definitely do a Part II please!
Part two coming soon! Thank you very much!
Thank you! YAAS, PART TWO!!!😉
This was terrific! Your videos are always good, but this was especially so. No doubt, because you were talking about your expertise in a career you had a real passion for. The last move is one I'm going to check out right away. But my favorite moment was your pointing out the dog who owned the photo shoot!
I really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing your photography skills.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes. We’d love you to go on more about this topic. Please do.
My best picture was taken one day when i took off my glasses to pose with my grandson. I think now that u mention, the fact i couldnt see the camera, I was SQUINTING! I think it was one of my best pics and done so by mistake. I was also sitting down on some steps , so my arms looked natural with my arms on my knees. Another good pics was years ago when had my head slightly turned with a slight smile but looking at the camera. These were just natural spur of the moment pics. I also think i look best with just a slight smile instead of a big smile. Your tricks are spot on.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing.
Mate, you’re a genius! I’ve followed your channel for a while now, bought a bunch of stuff on your recommendation, but as I’ve just picked up photography again, this was 11 minutes of amazing tips and content. A follow up would be stellar! Cheers,
Thank you! I will definitely work on a part two.
Great tips. I might start talking pics again.👍
Awesome!
Can't wait for part 2! Thanks for sharing the magic
Thank you! I will get to work on part two.
Omg he's so encouraging! And knows how!!❤❤❤
Mr. Hurley: You are a fine, masterful, instructor. You impart more important information in 10 minutes than most professors do in an entire class hour. Thank you for aiding me to have a better perspective on the importance of sound and proper appearance.
i wish every video had such practical advice.
I learned these tricks when I was trying to learn the basics of portrait photography, but this is the most concise summary of the information that I've seen.
I would love to see the Part 2 that you suggested.
Thank you! Part two coming soon
@@40OverFashionThanks!
When is the part 2 !! 😊
fabulous, getting married next year so will save this video. thanks as always. Ordered the neck Collar
Thanks for watching Dermot!
This had me laughing, as I’ve been doing all these tricks in casual pictures since I did modelling in my 20’s for a few years (I’m 45 now) and I still get old aquaintances commenting on social media how do I still look so good after all these years. It’s just the right angles! Lmao The other old trick I still use is if I’m not open mouth smiling, I clench my teeth to sharpen my jawline, though my mouth still looks completely natural. This was all practiced during my modelling days so it’s second nature to me now! I’d forgotten I’m even doin it all til I watched this. Well done for sharing the knowledge.
This has to be the greatest info yet, Thanks Jon !
My pleasure!
Please go on for another hour! Probably one of the best videos you've ever produced. I'm a 58 year old insurance producer and need new headshots for advertising. Hopefully your tips will make me appear more confident and approachable. Until today I could never put my finger on Bruce Willis's image until today, he's carried that confident badass smile thru his entire career going all the way back to Moonlighting with Cybill Shepherd!
Awesome! Thank you very much!
Dude! Awesome. You are full of surprises!
Thanks Stuart! Much appreciated!
Nice one Johnners. As a 'Support artiste' ( or 'Extra' ) I'm always asked for 'selfies' by the casting companies. Engaging a professional photographer each time would be too expensive. These relatively simple techniques help enormously. Thank you, and looking forward to part two.
Thank you!
Brilliant information. Thanks.
You explained perfectly!…I worked for one of the most renowned photographers in Latin America and I know this video is 100% right!
Thank you!
My favorite video of yours! Great advice.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Ive used the last technique and have seen a professional or two but have still taken awful pictures all my adult life, no more my Guy! Probably the most impactful vid I’ve seen since joining, thank you! Please a Part Deux my Friend!
What excellent advice. Very smooth delivery.
I’ve lost 65lbs since March of this year and am really wanting to take some new headshots and casual shots (walking, sitting with a glass of bourbon in hand, a cigar, reading, etc)…would love to see a part 2 of this!
Thank you! Working on it!
Interesting. Makes sense good photos of people involves a lot of tricks and technique, I simply never thought about it and was clueless. Great video topic.
Thank you!
Amazing tips . Thanks So much ..I have always hated photos of myself . I'll try these tips to see if they come out better . That last move you did . For the turkey neck was spot on ! I could see the difference in your face immediately.
Perfect! Thank you for watching!
Wow., what a masterpiece !!
So here’s my trick to get a real smile instead of a plastered-on hostage photo. A true smile shows up in your eyes as well, which is why fake ones jump out at us. So when I need to smile for a shot I think of something that reliably makes me laugh. Just the funniest thing I can think of, no matter how goofy. That’s usually enough to at least make me smile such that it actually happens up and down my entire face instead of just at the lips.
No nonsense and very helpful! Thanks a bunch!
You're welcome!
That was fun. I’d love to see some different posing ideas.
Thanks Keith!
Priceless! Thank you.
Thanks for the photo tips! I pass a photo of my wife and me daily of us on our honeymoon, and I’ve always wondered how I looked so cool that day. I was squinting and smirking 😂
Just at a right time. I need new profile photos and I have a double chin. Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching!
Well it doesn’t hurt when you are naturally handsome with a good personality that comes through your smile. I have watched most of your videos in a few weeks… be healthy and happy 😎 Bmore Mike
Thank you Mike!
Splendid video with valuable advice. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Really good John, cheers.
Thank you!
man of many talents
Ha! Thank you!
"... the baby is killing it ..." YESSS
Great tip with the collar gadget, I was disliked sagging collars
I just posted a picture on my FB page explaining something similar to this, just last week. A friend was teaching me how to pose.
Perfect Greg! Thanks for watching!
This advice is useful whether you're the one in the photo, or the one taking them
So true!
This is amazing--thank you for sharing! I love your before and afters! My last headshot person basically just pointed a camera at me and said very little as I got increasingly uncomfortable, and you can absolutely see that in the pictures. These are tips that photographers and clients alike can benefit from! :)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Awesome Awesome tips John. Thanks so much.
Thank you!
Yes, I'll take another hour of your selfie lesson. After nearly 60 years of photography, I realise the camera actually always lies. We have to work it to our advantage. Including colour grading etc in post production. One tip I would've mentioned, is don't take a wide angled selfie. Instead put your camera/smartphone on a tripod, place it about 3-5 metres away, and zoom in. Less big noses and chins, and less high foreheads. That's why we look good in the mirror, but awful in our phone selfies. 😉
Excellent tips. You're quite talented.
Thank you very much Robert
You need to make this one into a series!!!! Great tips
I didn't know this subject would be as popular as it is. I'll work on making more! Thanks Jeff!
Great stuff my friend 👏. Thank you
Your videos are so amazing! And this one is no exception. Your channel has got to be one of the best on YT! You make it look so easy, but I'm sure it's time consuming to get everything to sound and look so polished, and of course, to present such interesting content.
Thank you very much!
very, very helpful, john. thanks so much.
i have to be the most unphotogenic individual on the planet. i went to an event where my picture was taken and i did as you suggested. it really made a difference as it did convey a mood.
thanks so much again.
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful!
I apologize for my comment. This is the best video I have ever seen, and I worked for Canon Cameras
Totally awesome insight. I'm always one to take pics and I always try to make them look as awesome as I possibly can but with these tips and tricks I can't wait to get out there and make the people I capture looks more distinguished. More elegant. More sleek. Thank u so much and I cannot wait for part 2 😁😁
Thank you!
Received after my recent purchase of an Anson Belt set...
Hi Julian,
That is great to hear, I am so glad that you found us from watching Fashion After 40! He is a great guy and we couldn't be happier for his support. I really appreciate the kind words.
WOW! Fantastic, an advanced photography course in 10 minutes which explains why my Hollywood good looks always come out on my driver's license like a mug shot out of San Quentin! Like Goose said in TopGun 'I should have been a photographer' ! LOL.
Haha!
Thank you for the great tips! And I have never seen a product like Slick collar - I'm going to take a look at it.
Fascinating. You know what you are talking about. My Wife, Son and I just watched this together. Having taken a few photos before after (so to speak), but without the coaching we were in hysterics, and we all agreed that we hadnt even thought about this, or recognized it in professional portrait photography. Thank you.
Sub'd. we will check out more of your videos. Slick Collar is a great idea.
Thank you very much!
AND I bought a Slick Collar set! Let your sponsor know. (Apologies for buying it from Amazon instead of through your link but I am in Australia)
BANG! THE SQUINT WORKS! Was testing my new phone with selfies just before watching this. I have large eyes, and am also slightly cross-eyed, but that isn't apparent as I always wear glasses. Just took a quick snap with a squint and a knowing smirk. Still an ugly mug, but exponentially hotter!
Awesome! Thanks for commenting and watching!
Great video, and I've been shooting for 39 years! Very helpful!
Right on target! I've been doing it myself and coaching my girlfriends to doing this squinch and "do-like-the-turtle" hack and everytime there has been the "awwwww-I-didn't-know-I-was-so-photogenic" feedback ))
Nice going!
Thank you for the video.
Please do a part two and part three.
Keep up the good work.
Terrific video! And yes, a Part 2 is definitely required!
Thank you! Will do!
Great video and picture tips. They work!
Great to hear!
Hi John!!!! The best photo poses i've ever seen on TH-cam or Instagram, how a simple face look changes everything... i always look awkward on photos, i'll try my best next time!!!! You should do part 2 ... full body outside or indoor! Congratulations from a subscriber from Brazil!!!!👊🏽🙏🏽
Thank you!
Fascinating. Great stuff. Really enjoyed it and learnt a ton.
Glad you enjoyed it!
