What 1 tip would you give to someone who asks

"How do I make great photos of people?"


Only 1 tip - not 1 and bit, or 3 or 7, but 1 (one).

Think about the most important one...

I'd go with "people skills" too - the art of "rapport" and reading people to get the best out of them.

The rest is secondary - technically perfect photographs of people looking bored/annoyed/miles away just don't engage you the same as interested/animated/expressive photos of people
