A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Basic Headshot Tips (alien.top)

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!

Yeah no, don’t do this. Anyone offering you advice is coming from a “if i was there I could do it” mentality but the reality is that you’re being forced to learn how to do something with no training and no equipment in a short amount of time. You do a good job and now you’re the camera guy. You do a bad job and everyone will remember you for it.
