Let me first preface this by pointing out that I am a total amateur and your mileage and opportunity may vary. I just want to share this with other amateurs to help offset the cost of their equipment - especially with 6mp cams just around the corner. I chose this in particular because I thought this was the easiest to do but yields the highest return using the E-10, FL40 on strobo - strictly for that appearance. Probably can do it with just the onboard flash but hey I already have the the FL40. A sample of a shot is like this . . .
This is the gig, some companies need headshots whenever they submit license applications. Requirements are wallet size, and accuracy - except for blemish removal, hair cleanup, maybe teeth whitening. They showed me some previous output and what they were being charged which include the exec taking time off to go to a studio, then a proof sheet of about 10 or more shots (?) then 6 wallet photos. I thought well heck the E10 takes very accurate photos and at wallet sizes I figured that's doable. They also told me that previous charges were about $200 and $400 if they have to come onsite. I told them I'd save them a $100 off of the onsite cost! ;-) Mind you this is not at all artistic, just accurate and with its impending obsolescence, you might want to keep it around for these low tech jobs.
Do you find this useful or useless?
