Online Photography Course: Types of Body Shots

Hello, my name is Chris Conklin on behalf of expertvillage.com. Now again we will talk about different type of body shots. Now they include the center, we have a left lean, a right lean, we have the sitting position or the standing position, plus we also have a kneeling position. We have positions of laying on the ground in various aspects, on the side, on the back, on the stomach, depending upon how the head and everything is positioned in that regard. Then you have your action shots could be the same way, somebody is sitting in the bleachers, they are cheering for their team or they are showing unhappiness that their team is losing or disgusted over a bad play, those are different types of action reaction type shots. Then you have the candid verus posed shot; you do not want somebody posing that they are upset about something or posing that they are happy about something, because it is going to come across looking fake and cosmetic. So when you are looking for the reaction, actually capture the real reaction. Now you can get a posed shot from people that are actually excited about what they are doing and going “woo hoo,” you know things like that, and it is that what you are looking for in the plan. Make sure that you have a specific plan to tell the story with your vision, cannot say that enough, have a plan of what you are going to shoot, what you are after, before you start, have the story that you want to tell, and the vision on exactly what it is that it is supposed to look like.
