Raise the camera...subject breaks out in huge grin. Try again. Same result.
We are so trained to smile at the big glass eye.
It took some work for me to get The ATTITUDE!
She definitely looks tough here - so the multitude of attempts paid off. I love all the cool stuff reflected behind her- really makes it a unique, eye catching street portrait. ~BV~
Yes, very difficult to get a natural shot off, especially if the subject is known to the photographer. You did well here by being persistent. One reason I like crowded venues for people shots. Get to hid out in the open.
This definitely is the New York attitude and you see it everywhere! Love the pose and expression even if it meant several tries by you! The background certainly fits too.
"OK, I won't smile then" :) Love this shot with the whirling background and odd setting ! BV PS I just spent the p.m. trying to force kids to smile with Santa :(
