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!

This sounds like clusterfuck waiting to happen. Headshots at a party? Who's going to be suited for what I assume to be a professional headshot. They are setting you up for failure by not just ponying up the money for a professional photographer. Not saying you couldn't learn how to do the job, but on so short notice, with your lack of experience and equipment, it'll end up with subpar results.
