While taking photos, The Biggest Cat has observed that sometimes the most difficult to take pictures of are humans. Invariably there is bound to be at least one human staring at the camera, being the subject. And to the Cat’s wonderment, they seem to be quite a photographic challenge - not everyone behaves the way you want them to in front of the camera. There are always camera boo-boos! Well, the Cat’s been doing some reading on this subject and would like to share some great tips, on human photography!
- If your subjects are shy and restless, ask them to close their eyes once. Then when they feel relaxed, they should slowly open their eyes, and you can release the shutter just before they completely open them.
- The key to taking natural poses is not to give your subjects even the slightest chance to feel embarrassed. Keep your camera unnoticed by your friend and release the shutter just as you call him/her to look back.
- Some people would like it if they looked slimmer in their photos. If you want to be hired ad loved as a photographer again, just ask them to do this. Just turning sideways a little makes you look a little slimmer. 45 degrees sideways is the best, the chin lowered a little bit.
- The key to make your travel pictures more memorable is to have both portrait and scenery (landscape) fit into one picture together.
- The reason your eyes look red when you use flash in dark places is because the pupils open to expose the veins of the retina. Ask your subject to look at something bright once and quickly release the shutter then.
- Make sure everyone is standing at equal distance from the camera. The key is to let them line up in a fan pattern, and not in a straight line.
