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!

I repeat the sentiments of most of the others in this thread. Do not take the headshots. It is a slippery slope, and the headshots will probably not be as good as either you or they want them to be. Just explain that you don't have experience doing this and are not properly equipped for the task. Plus, it's the holiday party. You're there to freaking party
