Bringing Out The Natural Side of Your Subject by Anna
During this section of the workshop, Anna-Rina will be sharing her ‘secrets’ on making your subjects feel at ease when they’re in front of the camera despite it being their first time. Tips on interacting with your subjects – how to pose them, how to talk to them and most importantly, bringing out the best in them.
