As a new trainee, my primary task is to photograph passport photos. But you have to keep developing to move forward. The next step was professional headshots. The time had come, and I had my first practice photoshoot. I was very nervous, yet curious to see how I would handle this task. First, I prepared the studio, and then we got started. Since I had already watched many headshot shoots, I tried to model mine exactly the same way. I positioned my "client" sideways, with their upper body turned towards me, their shoulder tilted slightly forward, their chin slightly down, and of course, a friendly smile. Everything went quite well in my first practice shoot, once I got used to the lighting and the settings were right. It was fun to try out the different poses and see how different they looked and felt in the pictures. I had some difficulties with the second practice shoot, as my "model" wore glasses. Initially, I had major problems with the flash reflecting off the glasses, and I had to experiment a lot before I managed to get a picture without any reflections. But even when the light was just right and there was no reflection, I could only take one or two pictures before repositioning my model for a new pose, and then the reflection would reappear. With each subsequent photoshoot with models wearing glasses, I've improved, but it's still always been a bit of a challenge to get a good headshot when my model is wearing glasses. I think practice makes perfect. Of course, I'll keep practicing so that I can take good photos in the future. Application Photos can do for our customers. Yours, Luci
