#23. Headshot Session #2

Just uploaded the images from my camera.

Things to do with client before shooting from now on.
- Comb hair
- Make up (Concealer)
- Brush & Floss teeth
- Get to know the client (What they need the headshots for)

#22. Headshots.

Today marks the first day of headshots in my career!

Tips to remember:
- Don't get too close to the subject
- Take more than 1 shot. Just in case.
- Watch for hair in face! True, there's always retouching, but prevention is better than cure.
- Make sure subject is relaxed and comfortable. It will read in the final product.
- Tell a story through the headshot. What is the subject trying to say/portray?

Here are some samples from this afternoon.

I should start watermarking my photos...

#20. Tip of the Day: Watch your surroundings!

I did a small photoshoot for about 10 minutes today before realizing that I was getting the fire extinguisher in all the shots.

We retook the photos, which came out fine.

I was so excited about my subject that I almost forgot about my background!

At least this was not a paid gig. Lesson learned.

Here are a few shots from this afternoon!

ISO 100 ~ f/2.8 ~ 1/125s

ISO 100 ~ f/2.8 ~ 1/500s
