BananamanaTV – Ep. 8 – Keeping People Relaxed and Natural

I know! Its been awhile between tips!

Here’s Episode 8. It shows you a little about how I get my clients to relax during a photo shoot. My background as a coach does help. My first port of call is to ask them about their day to come. If they have any fun things planned after the shoot. As the photographer I can usually tell if someone is nervous or if they are good to go from the very beginning of the shoot. Some clients will even tell me they are nervous. My main objective is to keep things relaxed on the day so that my client can enjoy the photo shoot. Hope you like this tip!
