I don't think in any session, I would only sale a photo like this, but as an extra image to a set, that makes the session more memorable, it is a great addition. :) Thank you Scott for your comment, but they did purchase this portrait and it is more memorable than the rest of the shots.

]]> Comment on Ten ways to get your subjects to relax for you by Stacy http://piecesofthepicture.com/2009/01/03/ten-ways-to-get-your-subjects-to-relax-for-you/#comment-5597 Stacy Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:45:29 +0000 http://piecesofthepicture.com/?p=1163#comment-5597 Thanks for this post! I haven't actually started doing photography professionally yet, but I've done some shoots for friends/family and always thought it would be awkward dealing with people I don't know. It makes total sense (but I never thought of it) to just engage them in conversation....and let the natural poses shine! Thanks for this post!

And every subject's eyes are closed? It's an OK candid, but I always thought the best photos were when the subjects' eyes were open. Boy, portrait photography sure has changed.

Having bought endless magazines i can honestly say that your blog addresses the practical(actual) side of things very well and seem not to take yourself too seriously whilst at the same time,being very serious about what you do. Enjoy photography !Enjoy being able to put a smile on someone's face and to be able to make a difference to someone's memories in years to come - is that not one of the main motivations ?
