Lesson Learned: Make It Fun For The Subject

My recent batch of photos of Amy haven't been great, partly because she didn't want to be in front of the camera, and it showed. So when we hiked up Bernal Heights in San Francisco, I had a plan: I'd get low, aim the camera up and ask her to jump high with the city behind her. I really liked how they turned out. She was having fun, I was having fun, and the photos reflected it. You can also tell she used to be a cheerleader back in the day! Finally, in case you're wondering, Amy was not shot in front of a green screen and composited with a photo of San Francisco. I don't always use that trick. ;-) To see the rest of our jumpy photos, go here.
