As a photographer I am the observer of light and human behavior. I see what works, what doesn't work and what would be helpful. Everyone is taking photographs these days but so many photos are awful only because the photographer does not know some basics. By reading my blog and following my simple tips your photographs will become better and you will be proud of your photographs as well. Also visit my web site: www.charlottebell.com

Natural looking portraits.
If you are taking photos of people, engage and talk to them. Use your eyes – lower that camera and be human. Bring the camera up for a decisive shot. But remember to lower it, like you’re coming up for air, to check in with your subject. Chances are they are family or friends so joke around. You want natural looking photos. So make some dumb jokes and get them to loosen up. There are way too many photos of people with the phony smile. Also try to take photos while people are just talking. After a while they forget you are there and you can get some gorgeous images. Then you can just delete the ones that don't work.
