Elaine Gates Recap

1. I learned that lighting can be a huge advantage when taking photo's outdoors, natural light is the best light, and that taking pictures in the evening is the best lighting.

 

2. I also learned that when taking photos of people you have to just be open with them, tell them what you think looks best don't hesitate to tell them how to stand, where to go, what face to make, etc.

3. She also said its easiest to take good pictures of people that enjoy getting their pictures taken, if they don't its hard to work with them.
