Me and my big gob

Recently we had a pro takes pictures of our desks personel for a magazine article and the quality was extrelemly poor. So I foolishly said "I can do better than that!".

So been told to bring my gear in on Monday !

Head and shoulder type shots
Thinking of a neutral background, well lit and bounce flash, using my 50mm f1.8 prime with the 1DMKIII

Any good tips please would be much appreciated...

Make sure you clear the Frankie of your screens first

Don't shoot square on, 3/4 shots are far more flattering. If the weather is nice and your building looks clean, some nice outdoor back drops might be better, just a thought.

If you have a sto-fen or similar diffuser use that - even with bounce flash it can be a little harsh.

Have them sitting on the edge of the desk seems to be prevalent in our company propoganda (read in house mags) - which of course gets them away from the back wall

Articles or mag's in their hands also seems to be in.
