    Mimic your fave tv/movie character (making Chewbacca sounds or R2-D2 always get a lot of smiles ) or roll play each other's actions. Be the shy one for a change or the spunky loud one.

    Loving these tips, but I think they don't really work with older – and more introvert – couples… any idea??

    These really helped….my friend asked me earlier to photograph her and her bf soon but I'm still a beginner. Would it be better to use a wider lens or prime lens(50mm equiv)? Or play with both?

    Hi, I have one technical question 🙂 By directing couples the movements are fast than before. Like if they dance or walking around. I would like to know, how you focus and which settings you use on your camera (one focus point, do you move it manually, set to AI Servo, One Shot and so on). Or if you know any video which give the best settings or recommendation, I would much appreciate it. I think I found already a good way how to do it, but its always interesting how others work and maybe to learn new, faster and maybe easier ways. Thanks
