Shooting Tight

I chose to shoot the relationship between a cosmetologist and a client for my shooting tight assignment. As I considered shooting tight I decided that tight, compressed photos illustrate a more intimate relationship - the type of relationship that is generally found between cosmetologist and client. 

As I took these photos I realized how difficult it is to shoot tight sometimes. I found myself moving around a lot to get the angle I wanted because I couldn't just zoom out and frame up differently. Shooting tight forced me to pay closer attention to the frame because I knew there really wouldn't be a whole lot of room to crop the photo to my desired frame afterwards. 


  


One thing I did enjoy about shooting tight is that I didn't have to be right up next to my subjects in order to capture a scene. By staying away from my subjects it allowed them to be natural and for me to capture more candid photos than if I would have been right up next to them, making them feel nervous.
