Subject: Help w/ portrait of person w/ large head
Does anyone have any suggestions for taking a portrait for someone with a fairly large head? This man is tall, around 6' 5". He needs a head shot only for his work. What kind of angle should I shoot at? Any other creative ideas???
Try using a longish lens. If you are shooting 35mm, something in the 135mm range would be about right.
Other than that, have the guy sit so that you aren't pointing the camera up at him. I like the optical axis of the lens to be at about eye level, or slightly above for head shots.
