What are the Types of Headshots that I can get?
People need headshots for all types of reasons including actor headshots, profile pictures like LinkedIn headshots, professional portraits and digital business applications like email signatures and website pages.
Each of these types will require different things, so it is always best to let us know so we can get a sense of what you are after and how we can best make that happen. Something like actor headshots has a very different goal then a instagram profile photo.
Whats Better Natural Light or Professional Light?
Professional light and natural light each have unique advantages and challenges in visual arts like photography and filmmaking.
Professional Lighting offers unparalleled control over the intensity, direction, colour, and quality of light, allowing for precise manipulation to achieve specific effects. It's consistent, making it ideal for situations where uniform lighting is crucial, such as in studio settings or product photography. Pro lighting is versatile, simulating various conditions, and is not dependent on time of day or weather. However, it requires technical knowledge, can be expensive, and needs time for setup.
Natural Light, on the other hand, provides a natural and often flattering look, particularly during the golden hour. It's accessible to everyone and ideal for low-budget or spontaneous shoots. The quality of natural light changes with the time of day and weather, offering a range of moods and atmospheres. However, this variability also means unpredictability and its availability is limited to specific times and conditions.
A Professional photo will often be a blend of both types, using natural light for its beauty and artificial lighting for control and consistency. The choice between them depends on the project's needs, desired aesthetic, budget, and the level of control required.
