I've spent a fair bit over the years on lighting, cameras and lenses, and none of it matters if the person in front of your camera isn't comfortable. In this video I'm sharing seven things I've learned, mostly through trial and error, that genuinely improve your portraits, and not one of them costs a penny or requires new kit.
00:00 Introduction
00:36 Give yourself time before you even pick up the camera
02:12 Ask people about themselves
03:32 Keep talking while you're actually shooting
04:37 Try not to over-direct
05:30 Be willing to adapt
06:25 Your own calm matters more than you'd think
08:20 Under-promise, over-deliver
