Shoot: Movement Poses & Everyone in The Frame
Okay, and we did some movement stuff already. Now, this is harder to do in here, but like I said, I have them dance. I'm gonna do a couple, maybe one or two other things, that we can get them moving in here. But this is one I would be outside, kind of using the elements a little bit more, because I would have room to do that. Like, we might have them run, or be crazy. I'm afraid of getting them a little too riled up. Just because we have this controlled environment, that I don't usually work fine, but we gonna come on over anyway, and just do a little bit, okay? This tether is like (chuckles) it's tripping me up a little bit. So guys hold hands in a circle. Okay. Hold hands in a circle, and just go round in a circle. You can sing a song if you want to, or just walk around in a circle a little bit, okay? (camera shutter clicks) ♪ Twinkle twinkle little star ♪ ♪ How I wonder what you are ♪ And don't look at me, look at each other. ♪ Up above the world so high ♪ ♪ Like a diamond ♪ ...
So cute. ♪ In the sky ♪ ♪ Twinkle twinkle little star ♪ ♪ How I wonder what you are ♪ All right mum and dad are gonna get in, and give each other a big kiss. Get in the circle, Eddie. (camera shutter clicks) Good job. (audience laughing) Perfect. Perfect. Okay, I'm not gonna make them do too much more movement, because I just feel like that's, they are doing well. (audience laughing) What did she say, kissy we see? So like if you had rambunctious boys, like this was, and you wanted to get them involved, like that's a great way to get them involved. Let's do something where they can move. Let them be active. If they need to go of a walk, let them go for a walk. Like we can do that, and we can still do photo shoot. (chuckles) Play. This is one where that I love, I love, love to do this. So if we had, if we were out in the elements, I keep saying that, but that's how I do it. And I wanted to incorporate the environment, I wanted to let the kids to have some freedom to explore, but I also wanna make a great shot. So what I would do in that situation, Is I would have, so let's pretend like, this is the mountain behind this place, still this is actually pretty cool. So I'm gonna give the kids boundaries. So guys you can play, but you gonna play just on this rag. Okay, does that sound good? Okay, mum and dad you gonna stand right here, Ally looks like she'll fit. Definitely. And I want you guys turn towards each other, and I want you to give each other The Kitchen Hug, you know like, "Hi, we're in the kitchen." scoot over this way just a tiny bit. This is how we hug in the kitchen. Yeah, that's, yeah! (audience laughs) That's what I want, okay? And then what I'm gonna do, so go ahead, you gonna, don't look at me. (chuckling) Okay. Girls, don't look at me. You guys can play, can you guys jump? so they're a little bit more mellow than. (camera shutter clicks) Not you two. (audience laughing) They are fine, don't worry about them. So now, Trevor I want you to give her a big, like romantic movie kiss, and just like take her down. You go back like this. You know what I mean? I know you got it in you. Come on you ready? Ready set, go. (camera shutter clicks continuously) (cheering on) (audience laughs) yeah, there we go, delivered. Perfect. Okay, nice work. High five. Thanks. Proud of you. All right, good job guys. He was like, wow! I didn't know I was on like some kind of date here.' so , that is a really good way to allow them to do that, but to still make an awesome shot, and usually they love this one, because it includes where we are. And a lot of the times, you know, for my families they chose the location, based on what their families like to do, or whatever specific request, so we like to be outside around here. And normally I'd be shooting all this, like you would never stop, right? At a session. So that's exactly what I just did. You wanna give them boundaries. And this guy was like, "okay, there is this bush right here, and then I put a stick down here. So that you guys can do whatever you want as long as you stay within those boundaries." and they're like, okay. And then we had mom and dad, and that's how it happened.

This was a great class! So much great information packed into such a short amount of time. I also LOVE Elena Blair. I would love to meet her after taking this course. She is so confident and fearless in her work and that is so inspiring!
