  • I was able to capture some video while on location shooting three days of headshots for a local private Christian school. In this video I'll share how I set things up, my camera settings, and other tips and tricks for getting great images quickly without losing your mind!
    I'll show a floor plan of how things are arranged and share tips for getting good exposure on a wide range of skin tones.

      Thanks! It's always difficult - I want to be clear and complete but not too wordy if that makes sense. I should do a follow up on how I process all the images. It's a 5 step process that takes time but gets good results.

      Shooting for consistency will save SO much time in post - and the the school or company will love you for it. When a group of headshots are on a printed page or website, and they're all basically in proportion to one another it just looks so much better.

      I have no problem whatsoever giving away all my secrets - I don't really have that many, and there's plenty of work to go around, especially this type of work.
      Personality and positivity are probably the key elements though. You have to be able to interact with kids and people for pretty long periods of time and that can be taxing.
