Candid Moments

Fever pose steps:

1. What is the Story? “I’m Kayak fishing at location”

2. Put the ‘location/scene behind the person’

3. Get good lighting, front or side light

4. Shoot at a 45° angle from the front (everyone wants to see their own face only)

5. Take in 50mm full zoom for that pro look

Framing the shot check points

• Some variation of the shots, try taking from a low angle to get a interesting perspective. (eye level is not that interesting, the eyes are already used to eye level shots)

• isolate the separate groups, make it look like they were on a private their, no body wants anyone else in their photo
