Camera Settings for Professional Headshots 📸

I spent all week taking headshots, and I finally figured out the perfect combination for my camera.

I use a mirrorless canon R6 Mark ii. I tried out a few lenses but ultimately went with my nifty fifty!

Always put your focus on the eyes. Clean, natural lighting seals the deal every time. Mess with the settings and you’re sure to find the perfect combination for your camera and lighting set up.

Your linkdin profile picture will thank you!
