For my new family photography podcast, TWiP Family, I interviewed Jesh De Rox.
He teaches photographers how to create spaces where the people they are photographing are feeling amazing. So, they look amazing in the photos.
Before the interview, I tried out some his simple ideas for helping people go beyond the camera smile into joyful moments.
Here are a few I talked about in the interview.

Jump Three Times:
After talking to Jesh, I tried what he calls, Same Time. I asked the people I was photographing to try to say the same color at the same time.
With this one, I asked Duncan to whisper something in his brother’s ear.
I’ve been surprised by how easy it is to get people to go past the camera smile… when I asked the right questions.
I hope you listen to the interview with Jesh De Rox. If you give any of his ideas a try, share your photos. I’d love to see if it works for you.
You can listen to the show on iTunes. Or on the This Week in Photo website.
