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.

Im interested as well
