| How do I photograph a Camera Shy friend? It’s all about getting her comfortable, says photographer and 2004 Creative Team member Anita Matejka. Here are a few of her favorite tips. 1. Have a relative help lighten her up by engaging her in conversation, a joke, or some other distraction. 2. Talk to her while you’re taking her picture. When things are quiet, people are more uncomfortable, and chatting will help lighten the mood. 3. Tell her that you’re just adjusting the camera settings. She’ll likely ignore you and usually start doing her own thing. You’ll be able to snap pictures without her realizing it. 4. Try to be unobtrusive. Stand farther away from your friend and use a longer lens. Or try a different angle (not straight on) so she’s not as apt to look directly at you. 5. Bring a whoopee cushion. Sounds silly, and it is! 6. Make her look her best. If your friend is uncomfortable with her body, use a “cover-up” technique. For instance, have her wrap her arms over her husband’s shoulders from behind so more of him is showing. Continued on Page 10: More to check out: |
