>>193132 Yes, Sage, of course you want to capture a person's expressions, personality in a portrait. But this doesn't tell me, "Oh she's a goofy kid with a good sense of humor, etc." This tells me, "Wow, she's kinda bored and uncomfortable and really doesn't know what else to do." Also, if the mood's to be lighter like that, the whole atmosphere doesn't go with it. It needs a lot more lighting to fit that, maybe actually go to the little carnival there in the background.
Maybe if she wasn't afraid to get a little dirty and toss some sand in the air, kick at the water, lay back in the sand and give us a big goofy open mouth yell with the hand motions! That's what you want, DC! I know it's tough working with someone uncomfortable who doesn't know what to do. Maybe you need to go out with less of a "Let's do a photoshoot" attitude and something more like, "Hey, let's run down to the beach and hang out, maybe shoot a little, have some fun." Maybe if you put the camera down for a little and just chatted or shot a little while talking it would help. Maybe give her the camera for a little (if you can muster up the courage) and let her shoot you in Auto mode?
