This course will cover the basics of lighting and styling for business headshots in the studio. We will describe and demonstrate examples with strobes and with continuous light. This is specifically tailored around a Headshot Crew style: contemporary headshots in the studio for business clients: tight crop, gray or white background, commercial viable headshots. Students are encouraged to bring their own cameras, and their own lighting if they wish. Students will be both in front and behind the camera during class. Shooting will be tethered, so everyone can see what is being photographed, and how lighting changes with given adjustments.
Topics we'll cover:
