That's a really good advice! Thank you I'll write that down.
But do you have tips for portraits with only one person?

You do not sound cut and dry do not worry

There are a bunch of guides on YouTube. I will say on my recent family shoot that it’s good to feel a connection and like yourself with the least amount of tension as possible. Get what you can with guidance and personality. Your client definitely feels you and you want to make a day out of it in a sense. Even if it’s only a half hour. Interact but be personable.

I'm not sure to understand what you mean, can you please rephrase your idea? English is not my main language

 

My question is basically the title itself, but if I have to give more context, I'd say:

I really love raw/natural pictures: smiles, persons, laughs, lights, landscapes, scenes... And sometimes I can capture these moments but sometimes I miss my shot and want to "redo" it when I take a picture of someone. The thing is, once I ask them if I can take a picture of them, their body just, just does not act as natural. Some people (including me) do not know what to do with their body in front of a camera, so they often just stand up straight. I figured out something (maybe) that kinda works: I make them laugh or I ask them to do somthing that requires more movement, like jumping, but you can guess that I'm not always funny or I do not always have something to say, or I do not always want my subject to jump.

So please I'd really like some advices/tips/help

Natural things (smile, person, laugh, lights, landscape, scene) I try to not edit my photos, or at least light and color when it's too far from what my eyes saw
