How to Take Good Photos of Bad Subjects


Listen Later

Today, we’re talking about how to get good photos of bad subjects. When I say bad subjects, I don’t mean they’re bad people. What I mean is, they’re just not great on camera. 

“Regardless of how bad someone thinks they are on camera, it’s our job as photographers to make something great. And if not great, to make something usable.”

IN THIS EPISODE

 

  • Are most subjects good on camera?

  • Why you should communicate and give direction to your subjects. 

  • The power of preset ideas and having a visual representation on set. 

  • Starting safe instead of ending safe. 

  • Making micro adjustments. 

  • Paying attention to body language. 

  • Knowing when to stop.
