Taking company headshots – can you help in these areas? I’ve done a fair few company headshot jobs over the past few years, but I can’t say I’m ever fully confident going into them.

Most versatile lighting modifiers for professional headshots and portraits? Hi all – I’m fairly new to the studio lighting world, but I’m a long-time photographer. From time to time I do ‘professional headshot’ sessions and up until now I’ve been using a budget continuous LED lighting setup with shoot-through umbrellas for these sessions.

Upcoming Graduation Headshots Hello friends! I graduate nursing school the first week of March and our graduation headshots are coming up soon. With professional photos I usually go for an old money, easy, timeless look but i’d like to try incorporating vampy into it. I’m open to any and all ideas!

Any advice for lighting headshots against a white backdrop? I’ve got a shoot coming up for an organisation who’d like their staff headshots taken against white backing paper. This is so they can potentially alter the colour of the background in post in the future to match branding.

How can I improve my headshots? Hey everyone! I started a headshot business as a bit of a side hustle about 6 months ago and I’m really keen to improve. The thing I’m struggling with at the minute is nailing that clean, bright light on the models faces. I shoot on a Sony A7III with a fairly cheap nifty fifty.

LPT: If you’ve hired a wedding photographer, ask them to take a couple solo headshots.

EDIT: I’m not talking a photoshoot here, no extra lighting, no …

First professional headshots (for a work website photo and to use when promoting my work) and I’m really nervous. I am not really sure if this is the type of question that gets asked here, but I thought I’d give it a shot! I’m getting a professional headshot done for work and I’ve never had one before. I’m very self conscious about certain things and I usually take 100 pictures before I see one I like. The photographer will be there for over an hour taking …
