hi this is Vanessa pleasure and today on adarama TV we are going to take a look at what it requires to do a simple head shot [Music] arrangement before my customers obtain there I generally establish up a few of the lighting that I understand that I'' m going to use for the shot I put on'' t constantly set every little thing up because I'' d like my clients to see the initiative that goes into putting a head shot session together besides I want them to see the worth of what it is that they repaint for besides just the end product the very initial thing I have them do is to take pictures with them looking a little to the left and a little to the right the factor I'' m doing this is I'' m attempting to determine what their much better side is so that I focus on photographing their better side after the images are taken and tethered into Lightroom I have actually the client come over and have a look at the images with me while photographically I might know what side is their much better side side everyone has their own point of view regarding themselves and I intend to be delicate regarding that and bring them know the collaboration of determining which side of their face is better for photographing with this client we both agreed that the picture on the right is his better side so we progressed and started setting up the light to enhance that side of his face I wound up utilizing the light below as a reflector not in fact turned on when I'' m taking the shot so I brought it in great and close to make sure that the white component of the 3×4 soft box could just function as a reflector for the major light that was mosting likely to get on the best side of his face from there I directed my client to just stand in a wonderful relaxed Way and this helps them feel a lot more comfortable in front of the camera simply not standing awkwardly and after that gave him direction to place his hands in his pockets and to follow what I was telling him to do with my chin by sticking it out not up not down however out towards the cam to make sure that he didn'' t show up to have a double chin which he certainly didn'' t but as we understand in photographs if the head is not positioned properly it can appear so from there we just carry on to shooting and preferably I'' m capturing rather similarly positioned photos however I'' m simply having him move his chin up to the right to the left only a little bit really little movement in head Shot photography can make a large distinction for this certain client he desired all the pictures smiling normally since he'' s a dental practitioner so A wonderful intense smile is something that we were going for in the images after taking a few shots I do have actually the client come and take a look at what we'' ve got so much at the tethering terminal I such as to do this ideal away because I will certainly ask them to point out shots that they such as and that they don'' t like and ideally I locate a pattern of of facial expressions or body placements head settings that'' ll inform me the points that they such as or put on ' t like concerning themselves on electronic camera this will also give me a better take a look at the picture to see to it that the direct exposure and light patterns are correct and the means I desire them to be it'' s one of the main reasons that I tether apart from having the ability to collaborate with my customers right away after that we'' re all set to take a couple of more photos and with a better idea of what my client likes I'' m able to position and route them far better and at this factor they'' re a lot more comfortable in front of the cam also since they'' ve seen the pictures that I'' m producing and they recognize the instructions I'' m providing and why I'' m giving it they essentially trust me a little a lot more and loosen up in front of the camera the last little pointer that I provide my customers is to have them look somewhat above the lens like I'' m telling him below this is to aid their eyes look a bit a lot more open show up a little a lot more awake it doesn'' t make them appear like they'' re looking off cam because it'' s just an extremely a minor eye movement upwards I wish this behind the scenes look of head Shot photography helps you out make certain you struck the Subscribe switch listed below so you put on'' t miss out on a thing here with breathe your passion on Adorama TV and I will see you next time [Music]
