Photography Question 

April Todd
 

Police Officer Photo Shoot


Hello! I typically do not do portraits with backdrops and that type of thing. I am shooting 35 head shots for our towns PD- their uniforms are navy. Does anyone have an idea of what color backdrop I should use? I have a cream textured one, any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

  A cream colored background will contrast those uniforms nicely.

Before you shoot, be sure to yell.."Everybody FREEZE".
You will likely get many smiles.

  April,
anitique Brown is also beautiful for Unifoms.
Are you planing on renting Lights for the day? if so may I suggest at least two: 1 main/ 1 Background.
Remember to angle the bodies, if using stools you should have one posing block for them to put one foot on, this will angle the shoulders nicely.
I wish you the best of luck,
Debby
