I have some local actors from a theater close buy that wanted some headshots. I am not use to shooting headshots like this. Here is an example of what I did. Any CC?

You can do so by using your light at a sharper angle towards the model. for now this is a bit too flat. also your sig is overwhelming. WEBSITE http://mikhaylovphoto.com/

It takes some work to get it to not throw light everywhere on the subject. Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

airfrogusmc I'm a chimper. There I said it... More info | For a high key effect I would go for much flatter more shadowless image. Especially for an older woman with a longer nose. A light that would create more shadows would make things like wrinkles and long nose more pronounced. I would go with a butterfly light (soft box right over camera) for a high key type effect.

I might have softened skin too much? That might be what you are seeing. Camera was tripod mounted with focus point right on her eye. Eyes are tack sharp on my screen. Friends call me Jay!
