Hey! I'm looking to replicate these portraits for a side project. The photos are from Warby Parker and I would like to replicate their setup for doing some headshots. Can someone provide me some insights on how to light, backdrop, shooting, etc?

I'm more of a hobby photographer so I might need to purchase equipment if need be. I have a A7ii and a6000 with FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 and 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 (a6000). I've never done portraits like these before so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Having a white background really helps so you don't need to do do any real tedious editing in post, especially around hair which is usually a headache - you could go out and buy a real photography background and stand for like $100 but for a one time thing a nice fresh piece of project board will work fine which you can pick up from walmart for like $6.

Lights appear to be dead on or slightly to the right, which you can see in the models eyes - I have a grand total of zero studio time so someone else will probably be better at telling you about the lighting.

Pretty sure only the Asian has actual glass in the frames which should be noted since lights and glasses is a headache if you don't want glare.

On the A7ii you should be solid at 70mm - it's slightly south of proper portraiture focal length but not by much, on the crop a6000 it's equivalent ff makes 50mm-70mm ideal but it's up to you if you want to sacrifice a little style for a little image quality.

Only a bit jealous, being poor is fun.

Thank you for the tips! The focal length will be a big aspect since I believe I don't have a ton of room to shoot in either while I'm at the office. I'm a full time interactive designer and did a bit of work for Sony and took advantage of the discount the offered on equipment. I regret not buying any lens at the time haha.
