Posing: Casual

Some of the most fun and natural photographs happen when you try to capture everyday events. Get to know your subject and what they like to do, and work that into the photograph. For example, have a musician with their instrument, a child with their toys, or an athlete with their sporting gear. When your subject concentrates on something they are passionate about or enjoy, they won't worry about posing and you will get some very natural looking, casual photographs. This also helps you keep the subject relaxed, but their head and hands interesting.

Some things to consider if your subject does not have their own props available are bubbles, books, or flowers - anything that is easy for you and fun for them will help make the shoot a success without a lot of hassle.
