How many shots do you take before you are happy with what you have, Jom?

[jomphoto]

@jamesfromwimbledon ... varies, about 120 per set up. Some people I will shoot 600 shots or more for 3 set ups, very fast... it's amazing how different the expressions are, and how fleeting the "perfect" expression is - you have to catch it fast!

Good video, although your pushing your photography too much in your video, I suggest that you just give some basic tips and go on with the day, and the way you describe yourself seems to cocky!

yess... I must admit that I do seem a bit cocky ... I had a friend coaching me ... maybe too much!

thanks luccilee. Funny I do get a few actors coming from Melbourne, some from Adelaide, Brisbane and even Perth. Next time you get down here, if you get your headshots done I'll give you a 20% discount. PS I like your music

@jomphoto If you are in London UK then try "shots and reels"

Too much cocky! Make one most humble just talking about your service without talking bad about other's work!

I notice you have a monitor facing your client. How can Is set that up?

I have wached many other videos about actors headshots and they said not to get your headshots done in black and white.

If I become an actor I'll come to you, hehe

@jomphoto Hello Jom,

I was so surprised and excited to see that you had a sample of an Asian client. I was wondering if you knew of any actor photographer in the Seattle area in the US?

@jomphoto Thanks Jom.
