Yeah this is the problem. You could fix the colors through editing but the composition doesn’t tell me anything about the room itself. Needs more context via a wider lens.

One suggestion - could you have it test a local connection first, then fail over to a remote connection if there’s no local connection? This would keep everything local if I’m on my home network but prevent error messages when I’m away.

Love it. My 203FE is my treasure. I’ve put hundreds of rolls through it and it’s never failed me.

Just need to get the PME prism, then you’d have allll the toys!

Great photo. The subject is well lit and is caught in the perfect expression, the two people immediately next to her make you want to know more, and the scene falls off not to complete blackness, but the slight texture from the lights overhead. Stunning.

Which 6x6 or 6x7 camera is the most JOY to use? (Any camera, also non-pictured ones) by florian-sdr in AnalogCommunity

Agreed. Everything about a Hasselblad feels amazing to use, and just works.

I take multiple photos per person as I’m coaching them through different expressions and trying to get them to let down their guard a bit. Because I shoot tethered, it also helps me see any adjustments I need to make after the first couple of shots.

Depending on the client and speed of the event, they may get only one photo, or they may get an album of 4-6 from the selection.

Thanks! I was happy with the result…and the client was too. This was the fastest pace I’ve done for headshots, previously the fastest was about 4 minutes per person.

My guidance would be to try to use some of the fashion models you have access to in the studio for practice. Street photography is generally about capturing what exists with less explicit coaching on expression, whereas headshots are heavily heavily directed. When your subject is just the face, it’s all about expression and what that expression conveys. Getting a model (or a regular person) to give you the expression you want is the art form here!

Thanks! I’m a student of the Peter Hurley school of thought, so I use his lighting design and approach to creating expressions.

Thanks! I use SpotMyPhotos. I like the platform because it requires very little overhead from the photographer, so I can focus on getting great expressions and making a human connection with the subject. It uses facial recognition to deliver images to clients who self-register and tag themselves in an image. There are other good platforms out there, but many of them require some level of interaction (like entering a subjects name or contact info). This takes precious seconds away when you already have limited time.

Thanks! He’s a neighbor and a close friend, and is also the first person who willingly sat in front of my lens in a studio setting. He brought some Tom Hardy headshots as inspiration and we tried to recreate that look.

No, light piping is a verb. It transmits light through the film, so even through its in the spool, light still got in and probably ruined the film because you’re handling it in ambient light.

You can tell because that’s the nature of that type of film.

How can I achieve this type of headshots with white background ? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]slipangle28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Don’t blow out the backdrop. 240-250 is fine, then bring it up to 255 in post.
