    This is the topic that matters the most. A serious shooting is a very intimate thing and trust is really important. As soon as the model feels an insecurity of the photographer, he or she will become insecure too. It matters a lot who you shoot. I often feel like photographers don't pay attention if the person in front of them is more introverted or extroverted and they often times force the person to be extroverted, happy, active. A huge mistake, even calm or even sad moments can turn into incredible portraits.

    1. Play music
    2. Warm up or chat with them
    3. Never stop talking
    4. Compliment your model
    5. Tethering (optional)
    6. The photo-booth

    I transitioned from landscape and building photography to portraiture. I realised soon on just how important a good early ice breaker was in avoiding any awkwardness or stiffness, forced poses etc. So I would ask the person or persons I was shooting what their favourite song was and that would be first on the playlist. Then while it played I'd encourage a bit of random silliness and sometimes a little bit of dancing. It was like having a quick P.E. lesson, but usually loosened everyone up a bit. I also have a list of jokes in my back pocket for when I want to provoke facial expressions. I've never researched how other photographers interact with models, so this video is very insightful.

    I've never done portraits, I'm not a professional photographer, but I'm taking my friend's maternity photos (those with the big belly!) because she doesn't have to budget to hire someone. This is exactly the types of tips I needed, I hope I can put them into practice. (and the video is so relaxed as well, that it does give me more confidence - I guess that will help as well)

    Super helpful video! I'd say I'm good with photography (especially concerts and street/photojournalism). Portraits have always been an intimidating idea because I have NO idea how to interact with models. I actually did a portrait shoot a few days ago (first one. Wasn't paid, just as a favor for a friend) and hoooooly crap. Yeah, it definitely isn't so much about the gear but more about the interactions. Watching this video makes me realize that I made so many mistakes! Especially @04:22. THAT WAS LEGIT ME! GAAAAHHH!! I cringed so hard when I saw that because that is exactly what I was doing!
    I guess this is how you learn. But this video is super helpful for my next portrait shoot, whenever that is.

I have felt this for a while, but I couldn't seem to find videos on the subject.. I have a feeling this will greatly improve my photography. If you think of any more tips, or have more extended thoughts on the subject, I would love to hear them! There also may be a niche available for talking about it, and you seem to be well suited to that. Thanks again!

    Great video. I’m at a point where I feel I’m technically proficient. But it’s the interaction with clients and getting great expressions that’s the hard part. And there is so little out there regarding that. These days anyone can pick up a dslr and get well exposed sharp images. But getting images with great expressions and emotion is what separates good photographers from great ones.
