Many people are not comfortable staging themselves to have their pictures taken, so it can be difficult to capture a natural, comfortable image. Photographers employ a variety of techniques to support their subjects during a photoshoot, from behind-the-scene props to music to light banter. Consider what tools and techniques you use and how and when they are best suited for your audience.

"I find that one size does not fit all when it comes to making people comfortable while getting their picture taken. For this reason, I come prepared with a variety of tools and techniques. Depending on the individual, I might engage in conversation or banter throughout the photoshoot so the camera feels secondary to the conversation. For some, I'll find ways to step further away or try to blend more into the scenery so my presence is less obvious."
