Hi everybody, I am new to this forum. I'm sure this has been discussed many times already, but I could use some tips about how to take good headshots/portraits. In particular with regards to how to figure out the lighting.
Do most people here us a seperate light meter? Or do you use the meter in the camera? I have trouble trying to figure out what settings to use, whether to use flash or not, etc.
Sometimes the shots come out okay and they actually have that "pop" and the eyes look great, but I can't seem to get this result consistently and that really bothers me.
Any advice/tips would be highly appreciated.
I have my eye on a Polaris Digital Light Meter SPD100, but not sure if this will help me?
Oh, and I am currenty using a 50mm, 1.8, but will soon be using the 85mm, 1.8.
Thanks!
