I’m doing some corporate headshots for a small law firm near me, but as I usually do videography I don’t have photographic lighting. I have a speed light that goes on top of my camera and im a confident photographer - do you think this is adequate? What would your tips be for corporate headshots?
Do you have constant lights for video…? Because you could use those for the headshots… One speedlight for headshots is gonna be a tricky one without really knowing how to work with it.
You’ll need to put the speedlight on a stand and fire it remotely, preferably through a diffusion panel or bounced off of a larger reflector to get any kind of decent result.
If you only have a speedlight that can be used on camera, your best bet is to skip the artificial lighting and find a spot with some good natural light and shoot them that way.
Thank you - that’s helpful
