Show Notes

Today, we're talking about how to get good photos of bad subjects. When I say bad subjects, I don't mean they're bad people. What I mean is, they're just not great on camera.

"Regardless of how bad someone thinks they are on camera, it's our job as photographers to make something great. And if not great, to make something usable."

  • Are most subjects good on camera?

  • Why you should communicate and give direction to your subjects.
