Nighttime Cinematic Headshots

200 · f/4 · 1/15th · ISO 160

Capturing nighttime cinematic headshots presents two main challenges, particularly when utilizing Speedlights. The first challenge is that the low ambient light at night causes your subject to stand out against a dark background. If that's the desired effect, feel free to proceed. However, cinematic headshots strive to produce a visually appealing blurry background. The second challenge is focusing because Speedlight lacks a modeling light to illuminate your subject in the dark, making autofocus difficult for the camera.
