One of the jobs you will find yourself doing as a portrait photographer is Corporate Headshots. In this video I will show you my system for quickly processing large batches of images in Adobe Lightroom, as well as how to give each image a sub-10min retouch in Photoshop to remove distractions, tighten colour and contrast, as well as making sure you have a clean, white background all the way around your subject.
Share it on if you found it helpful.

It's so refreshing to see an actual professional tutorial and not hearing all the "and ummm and like ummmm"
Thank you Sean
OH MY goodness those were my first thoughts exactly.
This is just fabulous. Thank you. I’ve paid for tutorials that gave me far less information. Your teaching style is so down to earth, it’s like sharing with a best friend. Don’t change!
This is the type of instruction that I enjoy... its fast paced and no nonsense. Lots of good techniques covered. I’ve subscribed.
Thanks Joe. Welcome.
Your whitening background technique is going to save me hours. Much appreciated!
You're so good at explaining what you're doing.
You are literally the “Boss Ross” of photography on TH-cam. Your voice is so soothing 😂 Love your videos 👌🏾
Awesome information but it was alot more than i expected for a simple retouch.
.....That...is...a simple retouch, lol.
The trick with clients holding up a card with shot number is pure genius. Goint to try that on my next shoot, tnx for another brilliant vid.
Awesome series! I really like your subtle editing style and how clear your instructions are. Thanks for that Sean!
Good timing cause I did a DIY white background shoot for my brothers Prom pictures and Now I will look into these tips. Thanks so much sean!
You're a genius! Thanks for sharing your process.. these are very expensive skills
I learn more watching your videos than I did in class. I should ask them for a refund.. Great video, keep it up!
One of the best tutorials I’ve seen in a long time 👍
Amazing tutorial! thank you so much, love to see great photographer's workflows!
Sean, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge. I really appreciate your direct approach and simplistic explanations for what and why you do certain things. Your videos are extremely easy to follow. Many blessings to you.
Just watched this one a second time through. Would definitely love to see more editing videos, even going over the same type of photo with different models etc. So helpful. Thank you for this!
Thanks Sean! I keep coming to this video to edit my amateur portraits and it's amazing to see someone share his knowledge so openly!
I think it's great how you approach all your topics from a deep meaningful perspective.-
After watch both episode, I would say the post production work is HUGE!!
I can't thank you enough for this video and the accompanying first half. It has really simplified things for me and helped achieve the results I was after.
One of the most practical exercises i have seen, thanks Sean!!
this is a masterpiece tutorial Sean. I need to go back a watch it a few more times to soak it in.
OMG you're just straight to the point and clear and practical. So refreshing and so useful.
Concise and packed with useful information. Many ideas that I never thought of. Thanks Sean!
You are great! Thanks Sean. All the information straight to the point, no useless mambo jambo advices from a chit-chat talker photographer. Keep up this great tutorials !
I love your teaching style. So much information packed in so little time yet nothing lacking. Thank you for all your great videos.
Thank you. Great content without fillers. Love your method and much appreciated learning new techniques.
Thank you so much Sean, I watched your video on lighting set up for corporate portraits, which was very helpful on my first job to shoot portraits, and now I am back to your video to see your editing.
I almost didn't bother watching this part 2 video thinking I already have a post process that I like, but I'm so glad I did. Great content. A few things I already know, or at least do something similar, but some things I'd not done or thought of before that I will have a play with. I love the results, too. Thank you.
You nailed it once again. That "bg whitening trick" is new and a real time saver. Thanks for another great tut.
Very minimal, effective and less time consuming style of editing headshots. Loved it!
Wonderful! This is again a great tutorial/introduction to see how an actual professional photographer work. Kudos!
Your channel is an inspiration, Sean. I admire your personality and knowledge. You're a huge reason behind me starting my own channel. Thank you.
Jesus, that tutorial had me on the edge of my seat! Nice job Sean!
Wonderful tutorial - love the pace and straightforward info. Thanks so much Sean.
Excellent tutorial here. Your retouching technique blew me away.
Really enjoyed watching you work, very educational and it flowed well .. thanks!
Superb tutorial - fast but nothing that can't be unpicked in playback. Many thanks, Sean.
This information is just what I was looking for! Thank You so much, Sean! Your work is absolutely adored
Awesome videos Sean! Binging them for days now. Really appreciate your effort! Take care, good bless!
omg, so glad I've found you! Brilliantly clear tutorials! Thank you so much!
Fantastic series, thank you very much for this valuable information!
Sean your videos are amazing. Thank you very much!
I've been doing this for years, I'm a dab hand at PS, but you've shown me a few tricks that have improved my work flow in the time it took to watch your video...twice..
thanks
Thanks Sean! This is gold dust. I've watched umpteen tutorials on YT - but this stands out as it deals with a practical real world example of a body of work. I watched part 1 as well - both parts excellent.
Fantastic tips Sean thank you. PS intimidates me at times but I’m very comfortable with LR. This tutorial helped me have a better understanding of a PS workflow. Very useful thank you
EXCELLENCE! Thank you kindly... Especially for the workflow pointers and time management emphasis...
My personal method for remembering the subject's selection is to show them the set, and when they have their pick, i just click the lock button for that image.
After taking out the photos from the card, I enable the Attributes column in Windows Explorer.
Then you will see two values, "A" and "RA". The locked photos (which are the selected photos) have the "RA" value. All I do after that is to separate those RA photos in a different folder then import to software.
You are such a rockstar. Some of these techniques I have used in my workflow, but others I was using incorrectly. Thank you for everything you do.
Sean, just come across this video. Brilliant 19 minutes of editing technique. Saved for future reference. Many thanks
Sean, you are a huge catalyst toward my growth. Thank you very much for all your many insights, and sharing your meaningful journey.
Great job, Sean! Killer tutorial!
Awesome quick and practical process. Thanks! Subscribed.
One of the biggest tips, and perhaps the simplest that I picked up from this, was having the client photographed with their choice. Thanks!
Splendid Sean! Well, I'm curious about your high-end tutorial now...
Amazing video - great teaching and use of techniques- thank you sir.
This is just GOLD. Thanks Sean
Wow! That video grabbed my attention throughout the time.
Thank you Sean.
Great Video! a good share of information with a nice edition. Thank you for the time invested Sean!
This was a great video! Thank you. The subtle art of retouching . Great work.
I have been shooting and editing headshots since 2007 and this is one of the most useful videos I have ever seen on the retouching process. And to think I've been using the clone tool to remove shirt bulges this entire time. You have a new subscriber. Can't wait to watch more of your vids.
truly amazing
Thank you for this, Sean! Fine tuning subject masks for white backgrounds takes way too much time. This method is quick and effective. Brilliant!
Great tutorial - thank you for sharing your process with us!
Fantastic tutorial! Very helpful and clear.
great tips as always! Really liked this corporate episodes. Keep it up! Grazie!
only saw 1 minute of this video so far and already have to say THANK YOU! and of course had to sub cause this is the 5th video from you I'm watching this week so excited for more!!
Thank you this is outstanding. Great speaking voice. Will watch your other tutorials.
I can not thank you enough for your videos! Especially this one is a perfect mix of efficiency and attention to detail. Thanks!
Very nice!! Loving this series! Learning alot and these are videos that will be watched in the future again!!! Great work! Thank you!
great tutorial Sean, thanks for giving us so much of your IP
the white background steps are invaluable. thanks so much man
Really great video Sean...great to view a video that has no nonsense and gets down to exactly what is useful to know. Would be interested to see a workflow on compositing headshots into groups. Cheers.
Though it's been there for a while I had never seen this vid, and it blew out my mind. I don't think I will ever be able to do this -not that I need it cause I don't usually take portraits and never used Photoshop before- but it's been great information. Thank you very much!
Your channel is incredible. Just awesome work. Thank you for all the info.
The perfect tutorial. This is definitely a gem! Thank you.
Fantastic video! Thank you for making a great tutorial. I recently had a hard time editing a few photos with a white background. This will really cut down on time.
Love your channel bro! I learn so much from it!!! Thank you for all the time you take to make these videos.
Great and useful video. I learned a lot from this two videos. Thank you very much for showing us how you work.
Great advice for real-world shoots. Really useful also for product pics in a light tent for e-commerce shots.
Had my first corporate shoot today and used both of your video's to pick up some tips. great stuff, really helpful !
Brother where you have been all this time? You Rocks. Thank You!
This is just incredible.
Another awesome video, Sean. Thanks for this. I would really enjoy a more detailed tutorial, with an in-depth explanation of the Photoshop process used here.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this tutorial. I’m exactly in the same situation as your example, taking picture of employees of a company. It’s always difficult to get a pure background all across in a small area. This quick edit of yours is just what I needed.
Great video and music as well
On one hand, I think you're missing a lot of financial gain by making these videos public and free, but on the other, I am so thankful and have learned so much from you. Thank you for putting the time and effort to make these videos for us!
Great video sean :)
Really informative and insightful!
I like a straight to the point instructions, thank you!
This tutorial is AMAZING
wow, Sean is the man! Thank you for the great tips!
So good. Simple and helpful.
I am impressed by this video. Useful and efficient
Great tutorial / workflow. Thank you.
Another great video, and agree, good to see a pro in action. Not pontificating, just getting on and doing.
Great work. Thank you, Sir.
Excellent video as always. Informative, to the point, not self indulgent, no hidden agenda and most importantly, very useful. There's a lot of so called photography experts on TH-cam spewing out tripe. But not you sir.
Superb content.
Love Your Work
Thanks so much! I just learned a bunch of new things on editing!
Thank you very much, Sean! Great series! I'm now a fan :)
Wow! I am so impressed with how talented you are, this video is so so helpful and you are so clear and I actually understand it ( I am not good with photoshop) Thank you so much for this!
