TPF Noob!
recently i have been asked to shoot for a 3-person local band. I know one of the members quite well and the other two a little. Our first shoot went ok but i am having a lot of trouble photographing one of the members. this member is some what shy and seems to not enjoy taking pictures(which showed in the photograph). he kind of makes me uncomfortable when photographing him. does anybody have any special techniques, they would like to share with me, to lighten up the mood? i think one reason i wasn't satisfied with my first attempt was because i wasn't in complete control. i didn't know exactly how i wanted everything to look or how i wanted it to feel. On another note i had trouble photographing this band at one of their live performances. I was on-stage with them and their was a huge croud. i felt i was envading their personal space when i was trying to get close shots(the stage was very crouded and didn't have much room) I probably payed attention to the huge croud a little to much. I was nervous to get the shots i wanted. Any tips for photographing live performances aswell?
