Hi - I do not do any type of Portrait Photography, but I would like to start responding to requests that come my way for Head Shots. My feeling is this could be a way to get comfortable with portraits, thinking that a head shot, used for Linkedin, websites, social media, etc. might not be as involved as a portrait session.
But is this a naive way of thinking? Are head shots just as involved as a full-blown portrait?
Can any one point me to a good book or on-line tutorial which gives a really good basic understanding of what makes a good head shot - the type of lighting, suggestions about different backdrops and/or locations?
Thanks - Dave

So, after watching and practicing, watching and practicing, how did you actually get a first job? Did you have friends or family members sit for you, and use those for samples?
