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.

I’m doing some corporate headshots for a small law firm near me, but as I usually do videography I don’t have photographic lighting. I have a speed light that goes on top of my camera and im a confident photographer - do you think this is adequate? What would your tips be for corporate headshots?

would be pretty unprofessional to do that and your client would probably rightly feel ripped off and not confident in the moment that they’re in good hands. if it’s a job and you don’t own the lighting that you need in order to execute to the full extent of your abilities, you need to rent the lighting. that said you can def light still headshots with video lighting

This is for a small business in rural England who would otherwise be doing it with their phone - but I will give it a go and if they don’t like the photos o won’t charge them :)
