20. Photographing People.


Photographing people does
not mean that it involves making somebody's portrait
only.

More often a successful
people photograph is about what they do or what they
are doing at the moment when they are being photographed.

It is important to capture
your subjects in their natural environments; such
as the children at play with their small friends or
relatives, or simply with their toys.

Watch for the unusual
facial expressions that convey such feelings as happiness,
joy and fulfillment, understanding and trust.
Have your camera ready
to capture those expressions on film, for most children
do not have much patience to pose for you. Hence,
you have to be quick enough to be able to capture
those precious moments that do not last long.

Unusually looking subjects
could become a wonderful edition to your photo-portfolio
as well. Bright lighting works better than dim when
photographing children at play.
