Look Away........Please.
My favourite weapon of choice at the moment is to ask my subjects to “look away”.
A busy shop, busier subject, this was a quick job. The subject struck her own pose while pondering what to do. Perfect.
Coming from my habit of shooting “over the shoulder”, the subject looking away has become my favourite composition
The voice of tomorrow, just wish the wind put a little life in the flag!
In each case below, all taken in the last few days, the left image was an “over the shoulder”, the right hand one taken posed, but with a similar dynamic.
Nothing wrong with a straight look to camera, but my subjects and I are generally both happier with the more natural “look away”.
