Hey guys!
I‘m starting off with photography and will be shooting a model in NYC (just some street style shots as well as some portraits).
With the Nikon D5300 I have, I also have the lens it came with 18-55mm as well as other lenses (35mm 1.8G and 50mm 1.8G).
I have only taken photos of close friends and family so I‘m pretty nervous since I don't really know the person I‘m going to be taking pictures of.
We have decided we'll take pics in Soho, however, what are some ways you guys direct your model or your shots and how do you make them feel comfortable without it being awkward?
As far as shooting goes, which lenses do you guys think would be best for this shoot? The 35mm or 50mm. And if I keep them on Auto will that be okay or will Aperture Mode help? How often do you guys switch lenses during a photoshoot and what else should I carry with me during street style photography.
I am also pretty short which is a drawback when taking pictures of people taller than me, so how do you guys think I can work with that, especially when it comes to doing portraits?
Would love any tips or suggestions you have!
Thank you!!
