She hired me to take some headshots and didn't mention how uncomfortable getting her photo taken was for her until we were on location. I'm pretty happy with what we got.

I've had a few situations like that. I think it's important for us, as photographers, to realize just how terrifying the process can be to someone who isn't experienced or really all that confident around others. Every time the shutter clicks, they're afraid you just took another bad picture of them... they're watching for your reaction on every shot to see if they're doing the right thing... they don't know what you're looking at and what you're trying to fix... it can be intimidating. If time permits, try to spend some time going over the shoot, what you have in mind, how you want to get those results, how you picture the finished product coming out... let them in on your process with your camera still packed away. Tell them how happy you are they wore X because it'll look great with Z. Anything you can do to bring them into the mix will help get them engaged in the shoot. Just think about how you'd feel if the dentist just walked into the exam room and started poking and drilling, versus when they take a few minutes to explain what you're going to feel, how long it's going to take, etc.

Since I don't shoot for money it's hard to justify spending on VSCO but I really like that treatment. Very nice.

That's the Portra 800++ filter slightly tweaked. I like that pack because anytime I'm unhappy with Fuji's built in film simulation Portra is probably what I want.

Do the Lightroom presets correspond to presets on the iOS app? There's a few I really like but they're named differently in the app and I don't want to throw that much cash without knowing what I'm getting. I like A6, M3, M5, and HB6.

The LR presets are film simulations first and foremost. I got the Portra one because I know I like the palette.

I love it, it's such a glimpse-at-a-moment, and the way the colors work is just amazing. Her posing and expression seems a little... lifeless, but perhaps that fits in more with the overall feel than anything else. Is the writing in the windows your doing, or was that already there?

Thanks! The writing on the car was already there. It was an abandoned truck, but not in an abandoned area. So there was plenty of writing on it.

Duckjob posted:Just walking around Fanime with an obnoxiously large lens How was it in terms of setting up shots due to the amount of space (or rather, lack thereof)? I can imagine that even if people were posing for you, that it would have been difficult to line up a shot due to the amount of people just walking through.

theloafingone posted:How was it in terms of setting up shots due to the amount of space (or rather, lack thereof)? It's pretty difficult but somehow you can find a small crevice between people in front of you to take a quick shot. You just have to dial in all the setting prior and look for an open spot and hope for the best. The minimum focus distance wasn't too bad and im not that far away so its just the matter of finding the right timing. I didn't have anyone pose for me this time since running and gunning is the only way to shoot with a supertele in this situation.

I went to one of those once and even though just about anyone will pose for you, the place is swarming with other photographers.

That really depends on what you have in mind as being a good headshot. Point a camera at a head that's nicely lit. Be sure to try various expressions like smile and frown.

Adequate lighting and an interesting looking subject would probably be your best bet. There's no golden rule, just play around and see what works.

I went to the renaissance faire on my trip to Lake Tahoe. I had a pic of the green knight in a similar pose but with his hair flying in the wind... but I cut off the horse. I was trying to blur out the background as much as possible because chain link fences in olden days? I think not! Jousting! by sulakkalus, on Flickr  The Maidens (Wenches?)

This was taken after sunset; I'm really pleased with the high ISO capability of the 6D.
