If you’re an introverted photographer you will find it difficult to take photos of people. If you don’t find it challenging it means you avoid it. Being shy does not mean you have to avoid photographing people. You just need to learn how to do it.
Here are seven tips for the introvert photographer. These are from my book, Photographing People – A Guide For Shy Photographers.
The book, divided into four sections, is designed to guide you through the adventure of learning to photograph people. Each section demonstrates and teaches how you can overcome the fear of not wanting to impose. You will learn how to manage your camera well. You will also learn how to manage your thoughts effectively to deal with the unnecessary fear that inhibits shy photographers from photographing people.
My first review:
The photos of people I’ve taken on my travels are my favorite souvenirs. Along the way, though, I know I’ve missed so many opportunities because I was unprepared or just too shy to ask if I could take a photo. In this book, Kevin describes how he personally overcame shyness to become the awesome portrait photographer that he is. In this down to earth and easy to read text, Kevin provides practical advice on how to be prepared as well as how to approach and communicate with people you’d like to photograph. This is an inspiring little book. I read it while traveling in Mexico and, in the two days after finishing it, I approached three people for photos and, using Kevin's suggestions, they all said “Yes”. If you love taking photos of people, you will love this book. I can’t recommend it enough!
