I’ll have to watch it again to get the tips. The first time around I just couldn’t take my mind off of how beautiful Jasmine is. Thanks.

I never ask subjects to smile. When I want a smile, I tell them with a 100% deadpan tone that I need a serious face immediately. The more I press, the harder it is for them to stop smiling. Then, I tell them to smile, and boom – totally natural, relaxed expression.

I Love her…. From what I have learned from J* is to try to capture the shots around the pose, give instruction, watch them try and figure it out… then laugh at themselves… and they say, ‘”I’m just not doing it right”… when all along the camera is shooting and catching them off guard, in between the faked posed look…. works.

My question might sound a little weird, but the video is all about smiling and being naturally happy. How could I “trick” people to look sad or mad or any other feeling ? Do I need to tell them to think about their dead grandmother or their mortgage or their boss ?

Nice tips. I worked with a lifestyle photographer once who was always asking the talent to do silly, seemingly awkward things. What I eventually realized was his awkward requests were getting the models to forget about posing unnaturally, and then capturing the the great moments that happened after their silliness wore off.

That was really cool Jasmine. Sometimes one may feel that their loosing that touch of instructing people.
But after watching your video, turns out I haven’t. It can just get a little repetitive at times. But I’m basically doing what you’ve explained. So all is cool and Im feeling much better…… Cheers.
