Photography Should Be a Laugh, Even in Business<\/h1>\n

Take the team at ABL Business, for example. We’ve had a few sessions updating their photos, and every time, it’s a right laugh with Alex, Andy, and the rest of the crew. It’s less about posing for the camera and more about having a chinwag while getting some snaps.<\/p>\n

Putting People at Ease: Job Number One<\/h2>\n

When someone’s in front of my lens, my main gig is to make ’em comfortable. Yeah, sure, lighting and location matter, but if the person you’re shooting looks like they’d rather be anywhere else, you’re not going to get a good photo, are you?<\/p>\n

Don’t Just Stand There<\/h2>\n

Standing there waiting for a smile to magically happen? Forget it. Your photos will come out as appealing as a wet weekend in Grimsby. You’ve got to work to get that natural, relaxed look.<\/p>\n
