Also when is a good time to take the photo? before the intervju, during or after?

And how do I take a good photo of a black guy? (never done it) Ive heard that black animals are hard is it the same with black ppl? should try to get him with some darker bakground? Same for white people, or should I mainly try to focus on finding a bakground that is consitant with out things taking away focus from the person?

I shat bricks.

Getting people to look at you? Have you tried talking to them and telling them what you want? If it's for a newspaper, wouldn't you want more candid shots though?

Yes, black people are just like black animals in every way.

In fact, some would say they ARE black animals.

Always take pictures of black people in front of dark backgrounds. Then post the pictures in /x/.

always take pictures of black people that clearly identify their faces and show as many details as possible about the crime that they are currently committing. if possible, include a nearby item for size reference such as a car or a mailbox so that the police can estimate the height of the perpetrator. a good long telephoto is helpful in avoiding the bodily harm that will likely be done to you if you stray too close.

happy shooting!

Taken them before, during and after interview. After interview you can ask them to pose for you or something, and during interview trying to take photos when the subject is talking with the interviewer.

And as for the black people, I bet your camera's going to over exposure the photo. At least I need to under exposure photos a bit when I shoot black (dreassed) people and our family's black animal.

(And I truly hope that the photo you posted isn't the best you can do. It's just horrible.)
