I took some headshots in black and white of four of my friends using a side light and rembrandt. For this they were either sat down on a stool or stood up. I took some pictures of them looking straight at the camera and some of them looking to the side. I also took some photographs from the waist up. We used different crops like scarves and hats in order to make the pictures look more interesting. If I were to re do this photoshoot I would make sure to take more images and use more lighting set ups, as well as camera set ups.
