The Top 10 Reasons you should hire me for your photography 3. Tell stories with photos and make sure to compose a shot using the right lens for that situation. Know that a profile shot is not the full story. Seeing a person’s full face reflects the emotion of the situation, or ensuring you can see what they’re looking at and reacting to. (No face, and no eyes, means you don’t have the shot. Shooting a subject from behind shows lack of confidence to get the good photos.) Know that you need to create a good photo and not a series of images. The single image needs to tell the story all on its own. Anticipate when there will be action and am ready to capture the shot without blur. Read the timeline constantly throughout a shoot and wear a watch to know what’s coming up. Don’t move on from a subject or subjects till you know you’ve got the shot. Know shooting photojournalistically is not always appropriate and you need to pose a subject, move things around, or use flash.
