Why do you use so much variation in angles and distance?
Shooting wide, mid, and close creates depth and narrative. Wide shots show environment and connection; close-ups capture emotion and detail. Variety keeps galleries visually engaging.
Why do lifestyle photographers use storytelling prompts?
Prompts like âhold hands and walk like youâre late for somethingâ or âtell your partner what you love most about themâ turn moments into mini-stories. They help evoke emotion and context instead of static posing.
How do I keep lifestyle sessions from looking too âposedâ?
Focus on flow. Transition quickly between prompts, allow clients to move naturally, and capture reactions rather than waiting for perfection. Energy beats precision every time.
Why do lifestyle photographers focus on âin-between momentsâ?
Those seconds right before or after a posed actionâlike laughter after a prompt or a sigh after a hugâoften carry the most emotion and authenticity. Theyâre the soul of lifestyle work.
