Using shallow depth of field for this creative business headshot in Albuquerque, New Mexico - Nikon D750 with Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D @ f/2.8 1/160th ISO 100 - Strobist: Westcott Strobelite Plus in 55" gridded octagonal softbox to frame right
In the past month I have really upgraded my home studio equipment in order to keep making better and better headshots for my Albuquerque clients. Krish was my first client to be photographed with my new Westcott Strobelite Plus studio light which was connected to my new, gigantic 55" octagonal softbox. For the headshot above, which Krish is already using on his Linkedin profile (see here), I used just the Stroblite in the giant softbox resulting in very soft shadows and light falloff, complemented with using a 50mm lens with large aperture for the shallow depth of focus look. Krish let me kind of experiment with this shot and I think it is a great look that I hope more future clients choose as well for a modern, creative business headshot.
Krish will look great on LinkedIn with the creative business headshots we made during his session at my home studio in Albuquerque - Nikon D750 with Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D @ f/8 1/160th ISO 100 - Strobist: Westcott Strobelite Plus in 55" gridded octagonal softbox to frame right and Nikon SB-800 in 43" brolly to frame left-rear
For this headshot I placed one light angled behind Krish along with the big strobe light and sofbox angled to the front to create depth and definition with slight shadow on the face. This is another modern headshot look I like a lot.
