[QUOTE="johnwartjr, post: 259336, member: 2176"] So, I've been assembling things - going to do some 'real' headshots for a client this week. One of my photography buddies dropped in for a bit today, and we tried a few things. After doing some testing, here's our favorite of the various shots taken.. as far as composition and exposure go. He wasn't dressed as my clients will be - formal wear, etc - just in a polo shirt. Any suggestions are appreciated. The setup used here was pretty simple. A stool placed about 3 feet in front of the background Background light placed behind the stool, 40 degree grid (I have 10, 20, 30 and 40 - but 40 seemed to work best to my eyes) Camera about 3 feet in front of the stool, slightly to the right. Full frame sensor, 85 1.4 Nikkor lens Camera and lens set to ISO 200, 5.6 1/60th second exposure Strobe to the right of the camera, above with a 36 inch octabox pointed downward toward the subject Strobe to the left of the camera, set at approx head height, 8x36 inch strip box Reflector below the octabox to fill in the shadows under the chin Information: D700, 85 1.4G [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/2/1/7/6/700_9583.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
