Houston-based commercial and portrait photographer, Robert Seale, was kind enough to share some of his strategies and techniques for putting together a successful portrait shoot. We met up with him in Austin last month for a PhotoShelter event where he brought along an entire lighting crew headed up by Taylor Jones and indie rock musician Michael Scott Creature.

After the event was over, we discussed throwing together a webinar as a follow-up where he could talk more in-depth about what actually went into producing the shoot. And we were lucky to record it and share it with you here.
Here are the slides that Robert used for your reference:

I added some video that I shot from the event to beginning and the end of the piece…it’s definitely worth it to watch the end for Robert’s key portrait advice.
