Photography and personality

If you are taking photos of people, engage and talk to them. Use your eyes – lower that camera and be human. Bring the camera up for a decisive shot. But remember to lower it, like you’re coming up for air, to check in with your subject. Chances are they are family or friends so joke around. You want natural looking photos. So make some dumb jokes and get them to loosen up. There are way too many photos of people with the phony smile. Also try to take photos while people are just talking. After a while they forget you are there and you can get some gorgeous images. Then you can just delete the ones that don’t work.
