Hi guys,
I am new to the group and this whole headshot photography thing, i was practicing with some lighting and retouching last night. (when you have no one else to get in front of the camera, why not use yourself). anyway these are the best pictures i got.
i would appreciate any feedback in how i can improve, either as a model for practicing or mainly as a photographer.
these aren't bad at all in my opinion. I'm new to photography as well and i know for a fact that you've done a better job than i did while trying to take self shots. will share the images some day. the last image has a hot light on your forehead, not sure if thats the look you were going for though.
What camera settings did you use and what was your light setup like? if you dont mind me asking
hi, sorry it is such a late reply, i have just noticed the comment.
tbh the last picture was just playing around with the bare flash, so that will be why it is such a hot light.
the camera is a nikon d3300 with a sigma 105mm lens. aperture set to f/8
lighting: 2 cheap yongnuo yn560 manual speedlights, set 180 degrees from each other, one to the right of the image and one behind me to the left. these were on a neweer stand with neweer shoot through umbrellas.
Chin down.
