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!!!
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!
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.
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!
Thanks John. 👍🏻
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
Thanks!! This was great! Who knew! You are good John!!!
LOL! Thank you very much!
A man of different talents, John you're a gentleman, and a scholar.
Thank you very much!
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!
I am a fan, but must say this is one of your best videos.
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!!
Thank you SO much for sharing these tips!! ❤❤
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.
Any man wearing a 'Slick Collar' is de facto a style-free zone.
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.
Holy smokes! One of the most useful videos I've seen on the Internet in a while. Good stuff.
Thank you!
Very interesting. Would love to see a part 2.
Thanks Eric!
Just at a right time. I need new profile photos and I have a double chin. Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching!
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!
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.
Brilliant information. Thanks.
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.
Awesome!!! I'm a wedding photographer and this is great stuff!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
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!
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.
Wow., what a masterpiece !!
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.
Great tips. I might start talking pics again.👍
Awesome!
It’s funny when you are taking your own photos everything you know about photography, lighting, posing etc goes out the window 😂😂.
just stand by that window and you're good. ;-)
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)
Really useful, some outdoor advice would be great, thanks.
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.
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 !! 😊
Thank you! YAAS, PART TWO!!!😉
Brilliant as usual, definitely do a Part II please!
Part two coming soon! Thank you very much!
This has to be the greatest info yet, Thanks Jon !
My pleasure!
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!
Awesome Awesome tips John. Thanks so much.
Thank you!
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!
Going through the older stuff. Amazing content, thanks as always!
Glad you enjoy it!
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!
Great video, and I've been shooting for 39 years! Very helpful!
Can't wait for part 2! Thanks for sharing the magic
Thank you! I will get to work on part two.
Splendid video with valuable advice. Thank you!
My pleasure!
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!
Honestly, I think the smiling guy looks adorable.
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!
Funny liked the picture in the “X” than the green check mark one.
So Derek Zoolander's Blue Steel wasn't that wrong! 🤪😂
Give us an hour of this
I learned this years ago when I noticed that I looked a lot better in photos taken outside where I was naturally squinting. It's called 'warrior eyes'. Women are naturally more attracted to men who's eyeballs are less 'bulgy' and thus, less vulnerable in combat situations. David Beckham and Clint Eastwood V's Stephen Merchant and Marty Feldman.
"... the baby is killing it ..." YESSS
My favorite video of yours! Great advice.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
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!
Excellent tips. You're quite talented.
Thank you very much Robert
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!
Great video and picture tips. They work!
Great to hear!
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
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!
John your the man “ sorry about comparing your chat up lines
To Little Joe talking to his Horse 🐴 in a previous Vid 👌🇬🇧
That was fun. I’d love to see some different posing ideas.
Thanks Keith!
It’s the Mona Lisa smile. Smirk!
Wow, great video! I hate having my photo taken because it always feels so false and awkward and I don't know what to do with myself.
Plus, there is always that shocking reminder that I don't actually look like the love child of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise... 🤣🤣🤣
I'm well up for Pt2 please!
Haha! I know what you mean!
Man!!! John, where were you when I was in high school, when I was getting senior pics? Superb talent!!
Thank you!
Really good John, cheers.
Thank you!
I wish I would have seen this before this past weekend. My daughter just got married and I was in a shit load of pictures. Thanks for the advice John!
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!
Hi John!!!! The best photo poses i've ever seen on RUclips 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!
Great vid. I'm 53 and I didn't know ANY of this! I looked back thru pics of myself and the best ones were when I had a slight squint. Crazy. I'm going to have a Clint Eastwood face from now on. LOL. Thank you.
Ha! Glad it was helpful!
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!
Fascinating. Great stuff. Really enjoyed it and learnt a ton.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!
Pure gold! Thank you!
Extraordinary tips man! One of the best short tutorials on model photography. Would definitely like to see the additonal pointers on walking/full length shots. Thanks Jon...keep up the great work!
Thank you Max!
My wife wanted me to try this out after watching, lol, slight improvement but she wasn’t working with much
Practice makes perfect my friend LOL!
Brilliant advice - than you so much for this!😊
Great vid, John and especially helpful since I always feel and look awkward in photos despite being in decent shape and dressing well.
PS Slick Collar made a huge difference in leveling up the appearance of my dress shirts. Money well spent!
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Please !! John make more videos on this subject. I’d be interested in how to take your own pictures for profiles if you can’t afford a professional.
I did it for this thumbnail! It just takes a little practice.
Very interesting video, different than your usual but full of great information. Thank you John! Definitely a part 2 is needed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like lot of the "before'" pictures.
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 !!!
Great tips.
The best photographs in my opinion are almost always when the subject is relaxed. So do what most photographers do - take one after another, and by three, if you're chatting to the subject and moving around snapping, the subject will relax. Delete the duds. If you're using all these tricks in my opinion - it shows.
Really good one!
At least 3 times, I was transported to the moment in Pixar's 'Tangled', where Flynn Rider demonstrated... 'The Smolder' 😏
Ha!
Dang! Great tips, John.
Thank you!
Hey John, I’m a singer in the U.K. and I shudder when someone wants a picture so this is good advise for me. Slick Collar is an amazing product and I will never be without them 👍🏽…..ps what do I do with my 3rd chin? 🤣
Haha! Thanks John!
I loved it! Great tips.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a great video. Would love a part 2 please. Already looking forward to updating both my professional and personal/dating photos.
You got it! Thanks Tom!
Awesome! This really works !! Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
OMG you are the real thing, thx a ton John. I always look like a freak in my pics. Trying your techniques for 10 mins got me better pics.
Thank You so much John
Great tips! You have my attention now!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is complete god send.
Love me or hate me but what you see is what you get. No tricks, no gimmicks, just 100% genuine.
Second part would be amazing , looking forward to it
Thank you!
I was 50 when i first saw this video. It spoke volumes to me as i often have struggled to hide my double chin. Thank you for showing me the way.
Glad it was helpful!
