One Quick Tip for Feeling More Comfortable in Front of the Camera
Do literally ANYTHING with your hands! Having something to focus on will help you feel less pressure to just look normal. Hold a coffee, type on a computer, put your hand on your hip, play with your hair, rest your face in your hand - literally any movement that involves you using your hands will immediately make you feel more comfortable, look more natural in front of the camera, and help your photos have a more dynamic and fun feel!
A few examples of how this looks when I use it to give direction to people in front of my camera…
Type on your computer
Lean into your hand
Put your hand on your hip
Hold an object
Play with your hair
Hold a drink
These are just some of the poses I like to keep in mind when photographing clients - utilizing your hands in photos is such a simple and easy way to feel more confident in your body and in the content you’re creating!
