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!

Don't do it.

You might think you're going the extra mile and doing a favor for your employers. But at the end of it, you will have (through no fault of your own) wasted a lot of people's time and NOT gotten the results your employer wanted.

That's what your employer and co-workers will remember... not that you were trying to go the extra mile to help, but that you took on a task you weren't qualified to deliver on and squandered a lot of people's time.

Ask me how I know.
