Me again lol..
I've been asked to do some head shots for a friend that's studying acting, and some portrait shots of some friends & their children.
Up to now, my only experience has been doing club photography, some outdoor stuff (am rubbish now but learning) and pictures of my dogs...

My question is what's the best way to gain experience - is it worth asking local togs if they mind me tagging along at some point, or will they think I'm going to try pinch business from them?
I have no desire to do proper pro photography as such, just what I've done so far I think.

Have a read up on CJNicolai's threads regarding head shots & portriats in general for the technical stuff - maybe get your friends to show you mag images they would like to emulate & practice beforehand with a tame subject!
 
How do I find these threads? (which forum)
 
Thanks.
