I've just finished a set of headshots/portraits for some members of staff art work, something I have done previously, however there are always one or two that hate it.
I like to get people to relax, on this session I took a shot, told them to look at the result and just said it's way too serious, and then once they stood back in front of the camera they had the same expressision, so my key here was to just say again, "look, you look way too serious, go on, give us a smile" to which they would laugh, then I would grab a few shots (continuous shooting on the A7iii was a godsend!).
I just wondered how some of you get your subjects/models to feel more relaxed in front of the camera, some people are great at it but others dread it!
