All my favorite pics of my friends and myself aren’t ones that someone said “ok smile!” They’re the ones where theyre kissing each other, doing their makeup, climbing a tree, what have you. All my friends have beautiful faces, but their face is just what they look like — I want pictures of who they are!!
I love taking photos of friends with my camera. Even the most casual moments become mythical in reflection as we grow older together. My motto is to never ask someone to smile, make them smile.
Bringing a camera to wedding is a great hack for anyone with social anxiety- you can jump in to take people’s photos as a social lubricant and people will ask you about your camera
