Go Unposed

Photo by Melissa Inman

Not only can you get good smiles and good shots out of unposed pictures, but shooting while the subjects are unaware might lead you to an even better portrait. Shoot before and after the “posed” shots to catch more natural expressions and interactions. Here, Melissa Inman was able to capture a telling moment shared by her parents.

Camera: Nikon D70s. ISO: 280. Lens: 28-80 mm zoom. Exposure: 1/125. Aperture: f/5.3. White balance: “Shade.” Lighting: Natural, shade.
