yea, i personally take a magnitude of CF cards and set continuous shooting to = on. I start shooting as soon as the subject starts moving.. I’ll tell ’em I’m just setting up the camera and i’m deleting the photos, which is true, I will delete the ones I don’t like 😛 I always get to know my clients tho.. I’ll spend time with ’em buy ’em lunch.. In reality, a 2-3 hundred dollar meal a bottle of wine and a night out to get to know people that are going to pay you 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 how ever many thousands of dollars, isn’t a bad trade.. it’s nice because they become comfortable with you.. Posed photography sucks, it always has and it always will.. If your people you’re working with aren’t professional models and don’t know how to pose themselves, they will look rigid and bored and utterly uninteresting.
but, for every 50 I take, I’ll probably get to use 25-30 or less.. Some will be redundant, some will be blurry, some will have weird faces that people make, but some will look great =D.
Not sure why fauxtogs think they need to contort people to look like pretzels or use funky angles. Let them be who they are and fire away.. That’s probably the biggest advantage in digital photography.. Of course you definitely need to workout motion blur and can’t really use a tripod unless framing doesn’t matter.. easy button..
