LOOKS
Recently, I had to opportunity to take pictures for a group of friends who got together and went to the Spring Formal, or Prom. As we were taking pictures, I found a set of stairs. The lighting was wonderful. So in the spur of the moment, I decided to have all of the couples have one of their pictures taken there.
The results were gorgeous.
Looking up, straight up, was just something so unexpected that the expressions on each persons face was completely genuine. Put a person in an unfamiliar situation, and you will learn so much more about who they are. When taking portraits, it is vital to make sure your subject is as comfortable with you as possible. Because this allows the photos taken to be more natural.
In my case, this not-so-natural pose pushed my subjects to just a bit further from what they were comfortable with -because it was so unexpected. This brought new character forth, and I loved it.
