Question for Photographers

I have to take headshots this week. I don’t really know how to do that. Tips? Comments?

  1. kodinlanewave said: Experiment with angles. Don’t use flash. Close-in and from the top-down-looking-up kinda angle might work well…
  2. beigeinside said: Long lens. If artificial lighting, no direct light (bounced/diffused is best). Don’t mix light source types (for white balancing purposes). A big white board (e.g. dry erase or poster board) can be used to bounce light to the shadowy side.
  3. talesofaniceberg said: Have people with glasses tip them slightly downward so that the flash wont be picked up by their lenses and cause glare. Also have a step stool so you can be equal height with everyone :)
  4. c-dilla said: Natural light-meter the area & take some test shots with someone before you start so your settings are ready to go.
  5. tehawesome said: iphone duckface bathroom mirror
  6. kissmyflash said: Tell your bosses not to be cheap and hire an actual photographer, we go to school for a reason. Less bitter photography answer? Consistent natural light, window is best.
  7. sleekgeek said: Sniper rifle with telescopic sight works best, I find.
  8. tbridge said: Indoors or out? If in - get a good neutral background. Use a fill flash with a diffuser grating.
  9. froggeek said: Lots and lots of natural light, and pour on the charm so that your subjects relax and get comfortable as quickly as possible.
