A few weeks ago I had a photo shoot with Pat and Meghan. Apart from getting great shots of this friendly couple, my goal was to practice some posing techniques. Overall, we were all happy with this couple photography session, and I learned some things in the process. The Plan The initial plan was to go to Samyang beach in…
Hi Eric, thanks SO MUCH for sharing this post 🙂 It’s nice to read a blog that involves Korea and photography! I too am a photographer, though I primarily stick with landscape and architecture shots.
I enjoy shooting pictures of people, though it’s not my strong suit-like it is yours! I really agree that the simple background, particularly in #17 & 18, really does draw the audience in to the main focus of the picture–the people!
I also really like the natural expressions captured in #3 and #7–always nice to get a solid shot in between the smiles.
Great job and great information–thanks again for sharing!
I really enjoyed this post, Scott and I have to take our photos together using a tripod and a timer, so it can get tricky. We both have been trying to look up inspiration and different ways to pose together since neither of us our natural models! I find your information to be super helpful, so thanks! I love the photoshoot you did! My personal favorites are 3, 10,15, 17, 18 (that yellow background!!!!), and 22. We need to do more research and obviously just keep practicing! We will have to take a look at the books you recommended as well! Thanks so much for the helpful information and inspiration!
Thanks Megan, I’m glad you enjoyed the post and took something away from the information! Also, thanks for letting me know your personal favourites. Check out those books if you’re interested in taking more interesting shots of you and Scott!
Your use of prime lens for all those pics (save for the one in front of the temple stairs) is very inspiring. You see, I only have kit lens and prime lens and have no intention of buying (more of asking my husband to buy… Lol) more sophisticated ones. A photographer friend told me to just master prime lens and I can work around it even if subjects are not just portraits and close-ups. Thanks and congrats. Cheers to more opportunities for showcasing your photography skills.
What a lovely couple! You really were able to capture their love for one another which is great. Thank you for sharing the photos along with the tips!
The couple photography was absolutely stunning! I really loved 1,5, and 19. Those were my personal favorites. When doing outdoor shoots, mother nature sometimes has other plans for us. I really like the way you gave advice on how to do poses and how to make things better. I’m definitely saving this and trying out these things when I do some couple photos with my boyfriend again!
beautiful shots Eric and great tips for trying it out ourselves!
Wow, those couple shots are striking. I love the variations in the poses. As an amateur hobby photographer, I alway try to learn from the best so thanks for the tips you shared. I would be glad to meet you for a practical lesson if you don’t mind. I need to up my game in photography.
I learned so much from this post. I’ll be sure to use some of these tips in the future.
Your pictures are great!
Thanks for letting me know which shots you liked and why!
You’re right Wendy, using a prime lens is all about moving around and creating the image. It makes the photographer have to really think about the composition more, and thus create more creative images. No need to upgrade lenses, just practice more!
Thanks for letting me know which shots you liked Gina! I hope my information proves useful for you at some point!
Thanks William, and yes if you are ever in Jeju, I could give you a 1 to 1 lesson on how to take better photos! Email me if you’re interested, I’d love to help you improve.
