Posing headshots can actually be a lot harder than you think, considering that it's only a picture of the head and shoulders. In this webinar replay, you can watch as I present 3 of the most common "mistakes" in headshot posing and the methods that I use to correct them. Included are also three pre-recorded segments filmed with live models to demonstrate the three ideas.
This webinar is a recording from a previous live stream and has been edited to exclude portions unrelated to the content in order to make it shorter and, let's face it, more interesting.

Love the vid! To answer, I primarily use a hand strap, supported by a tripod w/quick release for group shots. I also use the tripod w/stepstool when added height is needed because I'm a shorty @5'3"! 😬 I mainly focus on lifestyle portraiture, but needed to take some headshots for my hubby, so this was really helpful as my initial shots weren't resulting in what I was looking for.

Although this video is about adult headshots, getting out from behind the camera is golden for photographing children. Children get restless because they depend even more on seeing a face than adults. If they don't see a face, it's just a distant voice out of the clouds. I will use a tripod along with a remote release, particularly with children.

Hella awesome video! I adopted the tripod approach for headshots after hearing you talk about that before and it makes a huge difference. I always shoot at or slightly above eye level though so that was a good reminder to not rule out a slightly lower angle. Lots of good stuff in here, thanks Gary!

@@GaryHughesOfficial I use a tripod whenever possible for exactly the reasons you specified. I started out with a medium format reflex and always loved looking at a screen instead of "peerin' through a tiny 'ole," so with the camera on a tripod, I can easily use the rear screen. I also use the pistol grip always for photographs of people. Also, a tripod is absolutely incredible for small children, because children depend more on facial contact than adults. The main reason children tend to wander away is because they're can't make personal contact with a head behind a camera. Ideally, I will set the camera for a specific small area, but the child in that area, then I'll get on the floor with a remote release just out of camera range so that I can directly interact with the child. That works amazingly to keep them in one spot.

Tripod for "school photo day" at companies with an "X" on the floor. BlackRapid strap for more creative. Execs seem to like the slightly lower angle that makes them look more powerful.

I love using a tripod for my portraits. I ensure that the camera is level and with an R5 there's so much pixels that I intentionally shoot wider with my 85mm prime and then crop after. Then I can focus on talking with my client and directing.

Great tips. I *despise* the “barbershop” lean, yet find so many clients still think it’s the only professional pose for a headshot 🤦🏻‍♂️ Feels like a time warp back to the Glamour Shots era. Hair halos, anyone?? 😂

@GaryHughesOfficial
@GaryHughesOfficial 5 месяцев назад
I have lots of tips, but way too many thoughts for a YT comment (I'm sorry if that seems like a dodge). We don't always composite, but it is a useful thing to do in the right circumstances. For example, I mostly do it when the team members can't all shoot on the same day. Hope that helps!

This video is my old studio, and half the room was black, half white. Black is an extremely useful color for using gels, trapping light for deeper shadows, and getting dark background ms of many different shades.

Shoot.....just wondering if I can use the “patented” hand motions or will I be sued and fined, and have to sell my camera gear to stay out of debtors prison. Can I sign a waiver....or maybe I could pay for the exclusive rights to use the gestures. Maybe I’ll just wing it....and use parts of each gesture in different orders (likely frustrating my clients to death) ....and play dumb when I get the visit from the copywrite lawyers, or a cease and desist Order arrives. You know what...forget it.....I’m canceling all my future headshots I have scheduled....and just do landscapes and move back in with my parents ( I’m in my late 50s, so that should be fun). So nevermind.

Tip #1 is a big deal for me. I shoot from a tripod almost exclusively for headshots. Tilting the screen on my camera allows me to look over the camera to have a conversation with my clients, just glancing down to check focus/composition before pressing the shutter(eye AF helps a LOT). In my opinion, it's the best way to get a good natural expression from someone. When ducking behind the camera they all too often revert to fake smiles. Another great video Gary, thanks. I wouldn't mind seeing something about how you manage high volume stuff. The most people I've shot in a single day is in the high 30's for a Pharma co. but remember you saying you've done FIVE HUNDRED in one day. I can't fathom how it's possible with just one photographer. That's over 8 hours of non stop shooting at only 1 minute per person....
