Photography Tip – Shooting People Who Are Happily Talking

What a cool idea. Photographing people having a happy conversation is difficult because normal conversation involves a lot of sounds that scrunch up people’s mouths. Nicole Young came up with this idea to have the people pretend they are talking, but the only two words allowed are “hey” and “yes.” This brings a lot more smiley looks into the scene.

I’m looking forward to trying this next time I need a shot of two people happily talking.
