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!

Other posters are probably correct, if you have never done this before, this is not the time to experiment. Learn how to light a portrait and practice before you attempt a task where others expect professional results. A great place to start is with this series on lighting by David Hobby, the Strobist.
