Updating my Headshot for LinkedIn
This headshot was taken last night using a backdrop, studio light, tripod and my Canon 5D Mark IV with a 24-70mm lens. Not gonna lie, its tough being both in front of the camera AND behind the camera at the same time, but with some trial and error (and good music), its definitely possible!
I did this using the cameras auto shooting feature, shooting 10 pics at a time until I found the framing and lighting that I was happy with. I did some colour grading on Lightroom and used AI for photo retouching.
If you’re a professional in the Greater Toronto Area and need some help updating your profile picture I would love to help, email me directly at bram@brambains.com and I’ll be in touch!
