Assignment 2B- Photographing People (Final)

Photographing CNM Action
- Capture CNM class/tutorial interaction to stock up our photo bank, for future web/brochure publications
- Preferably "Action" shots rather than "posed" or "semi-posed" shots
- 10-15 selected photos
- RAW images













Well, photographing people is very very difficult. Especially when you are a no name amateur photographer trying to shoot people who do not want to be shot. We are warned that the students will feel very threatened by the huge cameras that we carry about. However i feel that we, the photographers are in as much 'danger'. The glares that one see through the lenses can be very very discouraging. As far as we try to take candid shots, the people are already too aware of themselves for that. However one good thing is that the longer we spend in the class, the more the students learn to relax and grow accustomed to our presence.

Lesson learnt: I am not good in photographing people.
