How to Shoot Colorful Cinematic Headshots with a Unique DIY Background

Sometimes you don't need an elaborate backdrop in your home studio, or professional photo studio to create unique cinematic headshots that pop with color. In this case, I found that using simple foil emergency blankets combined with colored gels can really elevate headshots to give them a more "cinematic" wow factor. In this video, I will show the exact products I used, the exact lighting setup, and some tips/into to hopefully inspire you to create these unique DIY colorful cinematic headshots for your next photoshoot.

Whether you're a new photographer, a hobbyist, an advanced amateur, or even a seasoned professional photographer, my goal with this channel and these videos is to help, create, and inspire so you can try out new ideas in your own photography.
