[QUOTE="Prefrosh01, post: 590070, member: 37058"] I work in a small office (7 people) and they know my hobby is photography. I have been asked to bring in my camera and take some nice headshots/portraits for the website and their Linked In pages. I haven't really shot anything like this before and want to use this as an opportunity to learn and keep building my skill set. I will be using my D7100 and my 35mm 1.8 prime on a tripod. I do have a SB-400 flash, but I was not planning on using that. My thought was to put the subject on a stool at a 90 degree angle to a window in my office. I have approximately 8' of room to work with. Do you have any tips, pointers, suggested settings? Should I shut off the fluorescent overhead lights and just use the natural window light? Do you think a reflector would help light the scene and their faces more evenly? I don't have a reflector currently, but I'm fairly certain that I could order one for the shoot and expense it out, so I'd be open to any recommendations. Here is a test shot with my phone just to show you the space I'm working with. [ATTACH=CONFIG]234438._xfImport[/ATTACH] Thanks in advance! Matt [/QUOTE]
