In this video I sit down with Phil Sharp to ask him about how he developed his headshot style, how he thinks about his lighting, and how he draws his subjects out to consistently create such evocative portraits.

I have been following Mr. Sharp's work for years. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to listen to him speak about his craft. That was very good!
I really like your interviews. Always interesting people, but there is something else too. You have a way of getting them talking from their heart. Looking forward to more of these interviews. Although I myself only do landscape, it gives me a lot looking and listening to these films. So thank you very much for doing this. 🙏😊
Thanks mate, that's great to hear.
Phil Sharp is one of my absolute favorites. His style is so appealing and distinctive.
I've liked several of these talks, but Phil Sharp's work and philosophy struck me in a way only a handful of photographers' have. Thank you for making this.
I've just discovered you.
What a breath of fresh air. Totally different from all of the shouting and bright lights of the other photographers trying desperately to keep their heads above water.
I look forward to digging into your archives.

I cannot bring myself to call them head shots. I always say portraits - even if they are unambiguously head shots. Not sure why. I love the painterly quality of these portraits. Outstanding interview Sean.
Just Came across this and I’m more than grateful and appreciative for all the Info and Insights.
Became a Fan and Follower. Amazing Work You’ve Got Mr.Phil Sharp👌🔥🔥
Thoroughly interesting especially the psychological approaches. Thank you Sean for illuminating Phil's beautiful work
The camera captures the thoughts of the subject. The photographer/director etc creates a space for those thoughts. Both go beyond technical ability or access to technology. Even if those things matter, it’s just as important to access the soul of the work as the clarity of its expression.
Wow. Phil's portraits sure have a lot of character. And they do so despite their often super-shallow depth of field, which I would otherwise often dismiss as fashionable or gimmicky - he truly nails them. Love that approach of utilizing the ambient, and yet remaining curious about modifying it with artificial light. But most of all this insistence on taking your time, of letting your sitter get used to the camera, and of letting them use whatever they bring to the studio or location with minimal posing or direction. Thank you so much, Sean, for making this available to a wider public. It is truly inspirational.
Great insight and interview with Phil Sharp, all I can add are three quotes "Be influenced by everything, including the work of other photographers and artists, absorb it, pick the bones, steal what is good and make it your own. For it is your uniqueness that ultimately define your work. Anything less is nothing." - Bob Carlos Clark- "Most of my photos are grounded in people, I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person's face." -Steve McCurry- and "If you wait, people will forget your camera and the soul will drift up into view." -Steve McCurry-
I didn't know his photography before, omg, what a brilliant pictures! I'm watching it third time and my mouth is just as open!
Great interview. Phil Sharp’s portraits are some of the best out there in my opinion. I took his course on Domestika and would recommend it to anyone interested in improving their portraiture.
Thanks for making this, Sean. Phil has been one of my favourite photographers for a while now, and I'm consistently impressed with and inspired by his work. It was great getting a more in depth and candid view of his process. Also, I'll add that your work too, not only your photography, but your way of viewing the world, forming thoughts and sharing them in an articulate way, has also been an inspiration to me. Thank you for always bringing more than simple photographs to your videos, but creating something truly human. It's beautiful.
He's really, really good. His portraits look so clean, uncomplicated (not simple) you just want to stop that uncontrollable scrolling and stop there for longer. Is one of my favourites on my feed
Been finding youtube a bit bland and repetitive lately but this was a really enjoyable video. Great stuff.
Wonderful video - thanks for making it! I especially like the non-technical advice about giving space to the sitter to express what their feeling, without trying to impose false emotions and poses. And being patient - so important.
Absolutely:)
I am not a photographer, but I love photography and I play with it a lot. When I need an inspiration I know I can come to your channel and I'll find a meaningful and delicate point of view, both from you and from the photographers you interview. I love this respectful way to get to know the subject and to see through the lens. Thank you!
Those portraits are amazing! The people look like they are moving!
Thank you for a wonderful educational video and for introducing Phil Sharp. Phil's portraits are really unique and the subjects' expressions show his artistic prowess.
Thank you for this interview. Turning fear of the camera into emotional expression is an art form. Wonderful to see someone doing it right before our eyes.
Been following Phil for a long time. This was an amazing insight into his practice. Thank you Sean!
Can I like this any more times? Ive been admiring Phil's work for years. Your interview captured more insight than anything else I have seen on him and his work. slowing down and getting a "portrait" vs a "headshot"... Really great!
Thanks mate:)
It's always a pleasure watching your clips...
Appreciate all the work you put into these thoughtful, beautiful and helpful videos. Well done Sean!
This is a brilliant body of work. It is refreshing to see these authentic portraits. Thank you, Sean, for making this video.
Brilliant! Such stunning images.
Really enjoyed this video. There is so much content on the technical aspects of photography but very little on the interaction between the photographer and subject. It's fascinating. More like this please!
The level of mastery it takes to make portraits look deceptively natural and simple....
I was lucky to take one of his courses on Domestika which I really enjoyed. Very 'real', warm, and authentic.
thank you for the effort and sharing. inspiring. thank you sean, phil and grace. thumbs up.
One of my favourite photographer. Thank you for bringing in a glimpse of the person behind those images.
Phil Sharp!! Amazing you’ve got him on. Thank you!
I'm a big fan of his work. So glad to see him showcased on your channel. Kudos sir.
loved this !! beautiful work
Brilliant video Sean, so much soul in his photos! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for doing this. Loved it. Love Phil. I had the pleasure of talking with him a couple of years ago and he is an amazing photographer. I love his process.
Excellent, thank you. One of the most valuable photography interviews I have seen.
This was inspiring. Thank you for introducing Phil, he now has a new follower.
Wonderful!! Thank you, very insightful and inspiring. Love the philosophical undertones 🙏
Great to hear about and see Phil’s processes, such an authentic and organic artistic approach. Great stuff!
Another great video and an inspiring photographer. The last bit at the end, where you tell what happened in the studio, was so beautiful as well.
Thank you Sean for featuring Phil Sharp. I love his work so much. And love your channel -- it stands out for the quality and range of subjects. Always look forward to a new video from you.
Sean, just brilliant, thank you!❤
Informative and inspiring. Thank you both very much.
Thank you, Sean, for not only an inspirational interview, but the way you edit. It truly captivates your audience's attention, well at least mine, who seems to have a bit of an attention disorder.
wow, love this guys work.
Mr. Sharp's work is amazing and I've enjoyed it for a while now. If you're interested in seeing more he has a course that is often on sale for a very reasonable amount.
Wow, this is the second interview of Phil in the last month. Great interview, thank you! 🍀
This aspect of portrait photography that make people accept and even like features of themselves they’d usually try not to show.. I find this incredibly powerful and Mr. Sharp made this aspect very compelling! It’s a truly wonderful and rich genre.
Your interview style and editing here is spot on! I can’t thank you enough for these inspiring videos, Sean. You and the people you’re speaking with are a force that keeps me interested in photography, even if I don’t have a lot of time.
absolutely great video.
absolutely great channel. Love your work out here. Keep ripping. Cheers from Portugal
I really appreciate it when you make this type of video. Thanks
Interesting film with insightful vision and thoughts of Phil Sharp. And with beautiful photographs ! Thanks for posting this !
Soo good!!!
Loved this one Sean... thank you for this video.
One of the best I’ve seen on portraiture. Thank you!
Amazing video Sean like always and what an inspiration Phil is to us all. Two amazing photographers in one place. 🤲
Oh wow seeing this the night before a head shots shoot! Amazing advice, thank you so much.
Great video Sean, thanks for making it.
An excellent video. Deeply moving.
Thank you for making this video Sean, it was both impactful and enlightening on what Phil Sharp said about the headshot photos. I for one will take this to my next photoshoot, and just let the model be her
Sean, I always like your videos and the thought that goes into them, this one has been really inspiring. Phil's thing about taking his time and letting the person be who they are i.e. don't direct them is exactly how I like to take portrait photgraphs. Music is an extra element that I will try out.
Wonderful … thank you so much
These are so valuable! thanks!
I admire his work, so inspiring.
Thank you, Sean!
Wow, brilliant... Phil does incredible work and you have shared a wonderful interview.
Grateful for this. Phil is special, man.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for this. It’s so good x
Inspiring. It’s interesting how as we age as photographers we let go of control. And he’s a shining example of letting go and getting out of the way of the camera… am wondering what the little piece of glass that is attached to the lens… is it one of those filters that softens and blurs in specific parts of the frame? For a non technical video I am strangely curious…
Wow, that was awesome!
That was the video I needed to see. Inspiring stuff.
Love this and his work. Did a workshop from him, every portrait photographer should watch this. Good that you witness this ❤
Awesome. Thank you so much for this inspiration.
Sean, this was an exceptional video. Thank you.
This was avery interesting conversation as well as enlightening
Your final narrative of the occurring in the studio made cry when I saw the last portrait. Thanks for bringing this episode up.
Thanks, Sean. Lovely story.
Thank you so much for introducing his work and philosophy to us. Love these interviews.
I certainly would not Phil Sharp's work as headshot photography mainly because headshots are primarily directed by an industries requirements. His work though is phenomenal portraiture. You absolutely connect with each subject and become intrigued by their stories. His portraiture style is unique and refreshing. Thanks Sean for bringing us closer to his work.
Amazing stuff. Thanks, mate
Yeah Sean. Nicely done. You made it easy to appreciate Phil's work. The animated portrait that you created from your interview and careful editing is lovely too.
amazing. really inspired.
Thanks Sean for creating this video. I've been a huge fan of Phil's work for a very long time. I've even reached out to him a few times but never got a reply. This video was a great insight to the mind of a great photographer.
Allowing it to be it. Allowing one to be one’s self. That’s Phil’s thing.
Thanks Sean for chearing this and all the rest for our inspiration. Sorry for my french from Québec 😉
such a great artist.
Of Great Value. Thanks
What a great inspiration to portraiture. It really resonated with me.
Great interview!
Really inspirational video, will definitely go back to this. Thank you for uploading.
Wow, Sean, this video really reonates with me. I'm not at Phil's level as a portrait photographer, but I approach my shoots quite similarly. And I am also looking for the same thing in my portraits. It occurred to me I often don't take enough time to allow for the magical portrait moment to occur. In my dance shoots I do, so really quite silly of me. I'm inspired to take my portraiture to the next level: thank you so much!
I had the same take-away from the day:)
Wow such an inspirational man with an incredible talent
Love this interview. Both inspirations for me.
One of your best videos, keep creating such stuff mate.
Fantastic Sean…. Nothing else to say 🙌 🙌
Great insights about a very interesting practitioner , thanks
Enjoyed this a lot.
Great insight into Phil's artisitic processes and general thoughts about portraiture...
I thank you with all my heart
