It can be for their social media profile, or for their business. It\u2019s a skill every portrait photographer should know. So, if you\u2019re only here for the quick tip, here you go\u2026\u00a0<em>Keep it simple, keep them happy, keep it short!<\/em> This can be made easy by shooting <strong>one light headshots<\/strong>. A one light headshot session means there is less to go wrong, less time needed to change the lighting, and a less intimidating experience for your subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Your One Light Source<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Small Flash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a small flash, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fplfx300ptb.html\">Flashpoint XPLOR 300 Pro<\/a>, to make your setup lightweight and flexible. It has built-in TTL flash and, with a transmitter like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fprrr2proo.html\">Flashpoint R2 Pro Transmitter<\/a>, you can forget about re-metering the light if you find that slows you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"FPLFX300PTB\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"FPLFX300PTB\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LED Continuous Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in the market for a new one light headshot setup, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/continuous-led-light-macro\/\">LED continuous light<\/a> has some amazing features. For starters there\u2019s no flash of light, so no explaining what\u2019s going on or worries about blinking at the flash. What you see is also what you get&#8230;.so setting up the light and keeping your subject in the light is a breeze.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With LED lights, there\u2019s no pops or beeps from the flash. Even the click of the camera can be eliminated with the electronic shutter of a mirrorless camera. In fact, if you put your camera on a tripod and use its silent shutter feature, your subject might not even realize you\u2019re taking photos! LEDs, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nnfs200.html\">NanLite FS-200<\/a>, can be very bright. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"NNFS200\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"NNFS200\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn the brightness up slowly to give your subject&#8217;s eyes time to adjust. This will avoid dilated pupils, making the subject&#8217;s eye appear brighter.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Iris-Size-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Iris-Size-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Iris-Size-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Iris-Size-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Iris-Size.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Gavin Hoey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One light headshots are simple, quick, and the results make everyone happy. If you need more lights, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/glcr5251.html\">Glow 5-in-1 reflector <\/a>is the perfect partner. Remember that one light portraits means only one catchlight in the eye. For some photographers, that really matters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"GLCR5251\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"GLCR5251\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BTS-8-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BTS-8-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BTS-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BTS-8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Gavin Hoey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose a Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Backgrounds don\u2019t get much simpler than a white wall. Although, with one light headshots, you\u2019ll always see some detail in the white wall. Make sure you choose a section with no scuffs or patchy paintwork. Other colors of wall will also work but the more neutral the color, the more useful it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Lean-Wall-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Lean-Wall-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Lean-Wall-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Lean-Wall-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Gavin Hoey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaning against a wall is also instantly more relaxing than sitting down. Ask them to lean one shoulder against the wall, then both shoulders, then one shoulder and an elbow\u2026 and so on. If you can find or create an uncluttered corner, that can be a useful tool too.\u00a0 Include the corner as part of your background and you\u2019ll imply depth to your headshots. Just make sure the corner doesn\u2019t cut through their head!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, headshot portraits are supposed to make your subject look their very best. If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/dark-aesthetic-pictures\/\">dark and moody portraits<\/a> are your thing, headshot photography is unlikely to be something you\u2019ll enjoy. When it comes to headshot portraits, light size really matters and bigger is better. Soft shadows, bright eyes, and realistic colors should be your aim. This means a large <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/softbox\/\">softbox<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/photography-umbrella\/\">umbrella<\/a> will come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BTS-5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BTS-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BTS-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BTS-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Gavin Hoey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set Up a Softbox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of your softbox is relative. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/glsbps44.html\">Glow ParaSnap 44&#8243; Octa Softbox<\/a>\u00a0placed 12 feet away from your subject might not give you the soft shadows you want. Although, it will make your subjects skin look extra shiny. This effect is called specular highlights. Move the same softbox to three feet from your subject, its size increases (from the subjects\u2019 point of view) and the shine on their skin will reduce.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"GLSBPS44\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"GLSBPS44\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Flash-to-far-away-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Flash-to-far-away-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Flash-to-far-away-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Flash-to-far-away-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Flash-to-far-away.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Gavin Hoey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The temptation might be to move the light even closer for an even more dramatic change\u2014don\u2019t. Unless your subject is an experienced model, being squeezed against a softbox can feel claustrophobic. It severely limits the model&#8217;s freedom of movement and can really mess with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/exposure-compensation\/\">exposure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Tight Crops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Headshots, as the name suggests, are all about the face but don\u2019t fall into the trap of mistaking headshots for identity card or passport photos. Those require tight crops of a subject facing directly to the camera and lack the more casual feel you want from a headshot. And, despite its name, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/corporate-headshots\/\">a headshot <\/a>will often frame your subject from their head to their midriff. This means we need to think about their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Close-vs-Headshot-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Close-vs-Headshot-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Close-vs-Headshot-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Close-vs-Headshot-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Close-vs-Headshot.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Gavin Hoey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Folded arms make a big statement and should be used sparingly. For the right person in the right situation, folding their arms might be the right look. Although most will instinctively fold our arms, it\u2019s often the photographer&#8217;s job to gently suggest otherwise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your subject is open to light posing, direct them to avoid making a fist with their hands. I call it the &#8220;No Fingers Fist.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Fist-v-Fingers-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Fist-v-Fingers-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Fist-v-Fingers-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Fist-v-Fingers-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Fist-v-Fingers.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Gavin Hoey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Incorporate Their Craft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your subject enjoys the photography experience, that will always be visible in the final images. One way to do this is to get them involved. Do they do a sport, play an instrument, or have tools of their trade? If so, use them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vocational-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vocational-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vocational-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vocational-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Gavin Hoey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From your subject\u2019s point of view, the ability to hold something familiar can help them feel more relaxed and involved in the session. It creates a wider range of images when using props that add to the headshot, and not overpower it. Remember that you\u2019re creating a headshot\u2014not an action shot\u2014so pick your props carefully and don\u2019t let them dominate the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Another Headshot Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A headshot is more than just a quick way to see what someone looks like. It\u2019s the opportunity to instantly understand someone\u2019s character or vocation. Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve been tasked with taking a headshot of someone from the photo industry. The photo will be used to promote their demo at a photo expo\u2026 basically, my headshot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your subject\u2014me\u2014is holding a camera, so it&#8217;s obviously communicating that I\u2019m a photographer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, should I look happy or serious? A serious expression suggests I\u2019m professional and focused. A smile suggests I&#8217;m happy and approachable. Both are OK, so always ask your subject what look they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Gavin_Hoey-Headshot-2023-Colour-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Gavin_Hoey-Headshot-2023-Colour-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Gavin_Hoey-Headshot-2023-Colour-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Gavin_Hoey-Headshot-2023-Colour.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Gavin Hoey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you follow these tips and tricks, it should make it easier than ever to take one light headshots that will impress your clients while saving you time and energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People need headshots for all sorts of reasons and uses.
