Shooting tethered allows headshot photographers to see images in real-time, enabling you to make adjustment to light and composition, and to use as a great coaching tool. After the session is complete, you can bring your subject over to your computer and review and select images, saving you hours of work and increasing sales on-site.

“You better believe I shoot tethered! I feel like my hands are tied when I’m not tethered. I like shooting into a calibrated monitor and tweaking the first image I shoot to my liking and then glancing at it from time to time to make sure I’m firing on all cylinders. I can’t do that looking at the back of my camera. It doesn’t even come close to giving me the information I’m looking for when I see an image.”
– Tether Tools Peter Hurley
