I normally point my camera at people who don't intend to have their photo taken (street photography), and an actual portrait shoot makes me nervous. The key thing that I do whenever I'm getting shots of people is stay relaxed. I try not to get nervous or anxious because it makes the subject feel awkward and nervous. You want them to be at ease and act natural. I also like to grab candids when I can, because sometimes those turn out really well.To be honest, I'm terrible at posing people. The few times I've done portrait sessions I've been lucky enough to work with people who had a pretty good idea of what they wanted already. Getting shots with cars is pretty easy. A Mustang will be a cakewalk, because is has very strong lines.</blockquote>
