Head shots

The set up and results are very good.
Skin and eyes are maybe another thing to concentrate on. I do many older people and cringe at times to what I have to accomplish to make people happy but keep a realistic balance...its tough. # 4 is close to acceptable to me but...
If you are not...use the spot healing brush on the high frequency layer that you separate from the blurred layer, then back off the combined effect from the original until it looks right.
Eyes are done with a selective color layer for both the white and iris...B-W and neutral sliders for both. color dodge mode for the iris and normal for the whites...
Lots of videos on youtube :)

Hi Wayne!
You certainly are well equipped and you are on the right track but there are a number of issues in posing, camera position,lighting and background usage that should be addressed.
I have started a new section dedicated to advanced portraiture which may be of interest to you. There is a small group that have already subscribed and things are starting to progress. I have a number of tutorials planned, a detailed critique availability and much more.
Planned subjects are facial analysis, advanced lighting, aesthetic and corrective techniques, lighting ratio control, background functions and usage, directing the eyes, studio and location methods, flash technique and lots more!
This section will be beneficial and fun for both beginning and advanced portrait photographers. Get in on the PROFESSIONAL side!
Come an join us!

[quote=wayne-03]I want to start doing head shots and this is the setup I have designed based on the equipment I have.
Layout and equipment schedule for my head shoot setup.
Exposure: ISO 200, Shutter speed 1/200, Aperture f/8
Main light, Godox AD360 at f/8
Background light, Godox V850 at f/5.6
Hair light, Godox V850 at f/5.6
Two 40" and one 30" reflectors adjusted to f/5.6
What are your thoughts?[/quo
My thoughts are your set up is great. I do have only one suggestion. The camera angle would look better if it was above eye level.

Eyes look better if you can get the white on both sides of the pupil. and the head will be better balanced if the shoulders aren't turned so much toward the lens. You need more of the body supporting the head.

Check out the winner of the Hasselblad Masters Award for Beauty and Fashion for some out of the ordinary portraiture lighting effects.

I am afraid the lighting set up is not given.
