Hi guys!
I work at an office, and they requested that I take headshots at our holiday party. I have a camera, but have no idea how to take headshots. Are there any tips, videos, blogs, websites, etc. that you would recommend? I also have no lighting to use and am hoping that the natural lighting is good on the day of the event.
Thank you!
set up a camera on a tripod, and you need lighting it’s just a fact. that lighting could be from two lamps as long as they’re consistent and behind the person with a softer light on their face.
you can work that out in any number of ways, it’s best to have a seat or chair set up and light the background, then the subject and meter for their face.
headshots would be about shoulders and up so a 50mm with bokeh would be great, you want to treat it like picture day at school, if the settings and lighting are kept the same then you can just hit the shutter button and funnel them in and out. I wouldn’t recommend doing this unless you have a controlled light source and a space where the background won’t be changing constantly.
