Posing

July 6th, 2013
going to the beautiful Henry Ford Estate tomorrow to take pictures of one of my friends. I always have problems with telling them what to do (next to buildings, near water, in grass, etc) any suggestions?

some times you get good shots by taking photos as they are getting ready as they are relaxed and not taking any notice of the cameraa thinking you are just playing with it.

I agree with @plumtree500 Hazel - I love the natural shots

@plumtree500 I have found that to be probably the best approach but it doesn't really work in all settings

Sometimes it's easier to do things that are outside our comfort zone when we pretend to be someone who IS comfortable with it.LOL You guys could have a lot of fun probably if you 'pretended" to be a fashion photographer or something. Even try an accent. She will naturally be having a good time, and you will be able to pose her as you like :-)

@m9f9l That's actually a good idea. Thank you! I can envision all the laughter

@m9f9l That is a GREAT idea! I have never heard of that before, Mary. I had heard of the shoot before they are really ready thing..I do that. But never the pretending and accents. Love it!

Tell them to get naked.

And then photograph their outrage.
