What's your best tip for taking a good photo of another person?

A natural way to answer

My main tip is to help the person relax. A photo really comes to life when the subject isn't stiff, so I usually chat with them and take the shot when they're not expecting it.

Key phrases to use

  • come to life — become lively, vivid, or full of energy“The portrait comes to life when she laughs.”
  • steer clear of — deliberately avoid something“Steer clear of harsh midday light.”
