A very rare portait shot for me. In this case my daughter wanted a headshot done for her student ID, and liked the one I did last year for her. So I set up some of my studio equipment and go to try out my new beauty dish.
I do find people a very difficult thing to photograph, and my lighting technique is definatley on the basic side. So this is me very out of my comfort zone but we had a bit of fun.
I'd quite like some soft C&C on this, just to see if there's anything I can improve, particularly around lighting.
Shot with flash on 1/2 power, A 16" beauty dish with diffuser just above the camera and angled down about 30 degrees, a large white reflector camera left with a bit of ambient from a large window in front and half closed blind with her doing her own hair and makeup. Camera was my 5DmkIV with a 50mm @5.6 and 1/20th sec ISO 400
