Ready, Set, Frown - Shooting For Emotional Response
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a photographer that always told his subjects, “Smile big for the camera.” The problem with this fairytale is that not everyone smiles all the time. Let’s say for example you said that; to someone at a family reunion you happen to be covering, and then you find out that person just lost her spouse of 53 years. Would that still be appropriate? When you cover events; your job as the photographer is not just to cover what everybody expects, but to cover what they feel as well.
