That’s a really great point Scott. I find that its often times worth every minute to spend a little time “warming up” to someone I’ve never met before if I’m going to be photographing them. This is especially true for shy kiddos. It may take half an hour of playing with them to get them to relax and open up, but when it comes time to start pressing the shutter, that time is totally worth it.

Hi.
I just stumbled upon your website, and it looks (and reads!) good.

Nice article. I think I’m going to try #8.

Allow me to contribute a tip: Know your subjects well (alternatively, make sure your subjects are comfortable with you). I’ve found that when the sitter or subject is comfortable having me around they don’t suddenly “pose” and “stiffen up” when they see me with my camera. For example, friends already know that my camera is everywhere I go and that I’m going to be shooting them. They’ve grown accustomed to it and are relaxed enough to be themselves around me and the camera. Tender moments aren’t shot as voyeuristic, rather, they’re recorded as “tender moments”.

Best,
Scott
