What About Headshots Outside the Studio?
We could do it, work outside the studio. It’s often what you see from photographers and I am fine setting up some light modifiers outdoors or lights indoors to create a look, but overall, I think studio portraits with a full lighting setup look more professional, but that’s certainly subjective. If you want to create a look that shows your office for a setting, there are ways to do that well. And I have the tools to make it look professional.
The way to do it successfully is to still use light and modifiers and work in a place that lends itself to the style of the portrait you want to make. These portraits may look easy to photograph but all used lighting equipment to create them.
I see a lot of headshots that are made outside the studio without lighting and they look flat. If you want to create a look that shows your office setting or another location, let’s talk. We can do it but we will have to work out the details to make it a successful portrait shoot and will have to work out a lighting plan because that’s the most important aspect of portrait photography.
We don’t photograph faces, we photograph the light on faces.
