I am an "aspiring" portrait photographer, especially I shoot mostly with artificial light because I am a control freak and pretty rubbish at getting candid photos like in events/lifestyle.
Next week I will have my biggest job so far which will mostly be portrait shots in an office but they also want some candid shots of their staff working with a modern and happy feel to them. Similar to the images on this link: Leben | Karriere bei Airbnb
For the portrait shots I will have no problem at all, but for the candit shots I am a little nervous... I always struggle to find the right shots, my auto focus never seems fast enough, and/or I never seem to click at the right moment...
I have a week to get myself up to par but unlike other genres like portrait there doesn't seem to be any teaching videos or material online, I guess it's just less of a technical skill and more of an art?
So does anyone have any suggestions for me on how I can improve myself asap? Turning down the job is not an option, and even as I am now I'm sure I wouldn't totally disappoint them but I'd like to really do a good job especially as I know they will hire me again many more times in the future.
