How to Direct your Couples for Candid Photos | Behind the Scenes with Becca

JOIN MY POSING COURSE: A course going in depth of my entire photo shoot process and experience for my couples.

JOIN NARRATIVE LIBRARY: A library of videos going behind the scenes of my photo shoots with new and fresh content uploaded monthly!

This is a full behind the scenes video with Becca Cannon! I had Kidron come a long on a very real photo shoot with me to film all the fun prompts and poses I have my couples do. This session was very unique because I had never met my couple before this session so I didn't have much of a chance to get to know them before hand. However, before and during the session I wanted to get to know them a little bit to help make the session more comfortable. One of the best ways to make them feel comfortable is by a lot of direction in the photos. And this is what the video is for! You can see how I am constantly giving them direction and positive encouragement to reassure them they're doing an amazing job! So if you need inspiration on how to get these natural reactions and to really see their personality come out in the photos then you will definitely enjoy this video!

***So many are asking what cameras and lenses I'm using! Nikon D750 Nikon D810 + 35mm f1.8 + 24mm f1.8

I’ve been a candid-style wedding photographer for 4 years and this still helped with my latest engagement shoot, love it!

Seriously one of the best posing instruction videos I’ve seen

[rebeccamccoy]

I have watched so many couple posing videos and this is the BEST one. It’s so helpful to see you actually interacting with them!

[mariahcepi]

This is honestly my favorite video! I never really seen someone give so much direction and also have so much fun with it! I love this! I've learned so much from this video. This is what I've been looking for!

[androssimplelife]

you should do some lightroom tutorials, they would be a hit

[chickenception]

I have a whole new respect for people who do such personal photo shoots. You're amazing! You've found a way to get them to relax without ever telling them to relax.

I kinda started giving up on photography because I didnt think I had it in me anymore. I have tried and tried and cant get these beautiful pictures due to editing but a big one posing. I LOVED how you explained to the couples how to pose and how easy it was to understand. I want to thank you for letting me come behind the scenes with you!

Also- I'd love to see a behind the scenes just like this, but with an older couple. Like a 40th anniversary photo shoot!

[photographybyliamanderson]

[BradWilliamsPhotography]

This is an excellent behind the scenes video! You have a great approach to interacting with your clients. It's always interesting to see how other photographers capture authentic expressions in their work.

[melissam]

Watching you coach the couple during the shoot was very helpful. You really know how to talk to the couple resulting in great photos. Loved the sunlight and field. Thank you!

[maggujin]
