I am responsible for a photo shoot of management at work for a sales book. The size of the final pictures in the publication are going to be less than 3" wide. I have never done portraits before but have been reading up.
The equipment I have:
Canon G6, tripod, 6' x 8' grey felt backdrop(lighter than 18% grey card), and in ceiling flourescent strip lighting.
This is what I was thinking of doing: camera on tripod set at around 100mm zoom, subject about 7' in front of the grey backdrop, aperature set at f2.8 or f3.0, spot meter on the subject's face and lock that in, compose the picture and shoot with 2 second timer. I will be hopefully doing a test shoot tomorrow with and without the built-in camera flash.
Do I have the right idea? I know the in ceiling lights are not perfect world portrait lighting. Let me know if there is anything quick and easy I can do different to make a decent portrait.
Thank you. |

| Only thing I'd recommend is shooting in RAW. But I don't really know anything else. |
