Camera Head
June 2nd, 2010
How do I shoot a self-portrait (head shot) of myself? I have a digital camera with a timer.?
The issue is how to I pose the camera so that when it snaps the picture it is properly focused on where I will be seated. Their is nobody that can stand in for me since I will be shooting this sporadically. I need a head shot for my website.
Thanks
Set up some type of background- a simple one is take a sheet or bedspread and tack it to the wall. Set a backless chair or stool like a bar stool and set it 3-4 feet away from the wall. Set your camera on tripod 3-4 feet from the stool. Focus on the spot where your eyes will be. Turn the camera so it is vertical- this is better for portraits. Make sure you use a wide aperture or set the camera on portrait mode. Take several poses – full face, 3/4 face, profile, and Rembrandt lighting.
