What can you do when you only have five or ten minutes to photograph people?

March 25, 2020 in education

What can you do when you only have five or ten minutes to photograph people?

Well I’ve been shooting portraits for a few different educational clients over the years and one thing i’ve learnt is to put people at ease very early on when you need to photograph them to take their portrait.

I’ve got one client who runs lots of different schools, college’s and universities and they like to feature students for their case studies and websites. So we tend to line up a day of photography in order to take as many portraits as possible.

However I tend to only get five or ten minutes with students as we can only drag them out of class and lessons for a very short time. I can also tell you that photographing students who mostly are all very self conscious can be a tricky thing. But if you treat them with respect and talk to them, find out a bit about them and try and make a connection, it can really help. Of course having lots of experience photographing people, knowing your equipment, what makes a good photograph & being a professional photographer helps as well.

So here are 150 portraits of students all taken on location and all taken quickly.
