Candid Camera
Candid photography is a beautiful way to capture the genuine emotion and personality of your clients. Whether you are taking portraits, wedding photos, or any other type of client photography, candid shots can help to add authenticity and depth to your images.
So how do you go about taking great candid photos with clients? Here are a few tips to help you get started:
- Build rapport: One of the keys to taking great candid shots with clients is building rapport. Spend some time getting to know your clients before you start shooting, and try to put them at ease. This will help to create a more relaxed and natural environment, which is essential for candid photography.
- Encourage natural poses: Instead of posing your clients, try to capture them in natural poses. This could mean taking pictures of them when they are engaged in an activity, like reading a book or playing a sport, or simply capturing them as they go about their day.
- Use prompts: If your clients are feeling self-conscious or unsure of what to do, try using prompts to help them relax and get into a natural pose. You could ask them to tell a joke, sing a song, or do any other activity that will help to bring out their personality.
- Use a fast shutter speed: To freeze the action and capture sharp, candid shots, use a fast shutter speed. This will help to eliminate any blur or motion in your images, resulting in clear, crisp photos.
- Experiment with different angles and perspectives: Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different angles and perspectives when taking candid shots. Try shooting from above, below, or at eye level, and see what works best for your subject and setting.
I hope these tips help you to take better candid photos with your clients. Happy shooting!
