>>4332954Ay don't be so mean, this is cultureful board
>>4332825You probably got scammed by some Macedonian pretending to be a photographer, just like 90% of /p/ pretends to take photos
>>4332825genuinely how do I go about thisjust put my SLR on a tripod and go at it?
>>4338411You need a mirrorless with eye AF and a shutter remote.
>>4338411Using an SLR you'll burn through some film dialing in focus and composition without some sort of live view. Could go that route just need either a timer or a remote shutter and a roll of film you're not fussed with losing.Way easier with some sort of live view and an articulated screen.For portraits it's a good idea to get some good lighting equipment. A good flash, a diffuser, maybe a reflective umbrella or lightdow might be useful. Lighting is most of what makes portraits look good. That and not being a ugly cunt, but let's keep things realistic,
>>4338460I'm not great looking but I'm not ugly. I guess I could set it to f/8 but then I would lose the shallow portrait DoF. I just don't have any friends who would know how to work my cameras, lol. Maybe I meter the scene and just have them focus and press the shutter and I can bracket exposures that way as well
>>4338622get a tripod, ask your friend to be where you want to, do everything (set iso if digital, focus, aperture, speed, framing etc. etc.) and then change places with them and just tell them to push 1 button
>>4338625good idea tbqh
