(Ricoh GX200)For a photographer to do a good job, it is the skills that matter most. But sometimes when one appears to be a cool photographer, it will certainly help your subjects or clients and even yourself to gain a better confidence in the outcome.
If you don't have a good looking face, and you have a group of people for some group shots, be cool and try this: "Stand ready. One two (snap a shot). One two (snap the other shot). That lady a bit to the right (or cue whoever needs to be rearranged). One two (snap)." In ten seconds, you take three shots. And everyone will say oohs and ahhs, laugh a hearty laugh and, most important of all, (rightly) believe that you are professional. After all, now that the atmosphere is amicable, the final shot will look better as the subjects have brightened facial expressions and relaxed body gestures.
