Headshot Plan

How many light sources are you going to use (including any reflectors)?

Two light sources will be used, one on each side of the face, to balance the photo.

Will you use constant lights or strobes (flashes) or both?

Strobes will be used to light the head shots from both side of the face. 

How many PocketWizards will you need?

I will use two Pocket Wizards, one will be attached to the camera, and one will be hung from a strobe. 

How are you going to create a "catch light?"

What lens will you use? Why? Be specific. 

I will use an 80 mm lens to get the best natural looking proportion of the face. 

Post an example of what you want your finished headshot to look like.
