An Instagram-y headshot for the non model. There is no need to have an “Infront of the camera” posing skill set, only the willingness to follow along. Keep your gaze above the photographer and tip slightly forward. High noon, mid summer, sunglasses, rooftop loft and palm trees in the distance just so happen to be our recipe but you can make sunny days work for you with a few simple tricks.
Trick one- shoot up
Trick two- fast shutter speed
Trick three- aim your subject towards the sun
Trick four- edit light on the shadows but heavy on the blacks
