Learn how to be at ease in front of a camera

I seize up completely when in front of the camera, and usually end up hiding my face or pulling an awful “I don’t want a photo taken” face. Considering I’m a photographer I should learn that a camera is not the enemy!

But I think I’m ready for a studio session and I love it more and more each time we take photos!

We actually have by now a set of great photos! He’s definitely improving as a photographer but I’m not sure that I am, as a model…

I’ve learned that, even though the results might not be what you want them to be… its the pictures that are the enemy, not the camera. The camera loves you, so, love it back, and i find, that if you love the camera back, the camera will make sure you look better than normal too.

Trust me on this, because its taken me… 17 years to realize this. Dont think about the final product, because half of the time, it doesn’t get developed anyway. Just live in the moment, and im sure the picture will look better than you do when you’re nervous infront of the camera.

(PICTURE: This is me being at ease infront of my camera. I’m actually singing a Coldplay song… its the one where they say “youuuuuu… are… youuuuuuu… are” i think that song is “Clocks” but i cant remember. I’m singing “youuuu” if you didn’t realize that.)

Great! Maybe I’ll be soon able to “model” in professional conditions.

I even doubted it could happen.

I look less scared or surprised and more and more confident and peaceful.

Well, i think so.
