    Do all your photos look painfully set up? Have you ever wanted to take photos of people acting naturally and not hamming it up for the camera? Professional photographer Erin Manning shows exactly how to capture all those spontaneous moments that really are the essence of life. She begins by giving her student some tips on what to look for, how to disappear, and how to set her camera up. Next, Erin shows her student some techniques that will allow her to get the best angle without becoming a distraction. She then discusses the importance of taking the picture at the right moment and gives her student some tips on how to predict, and then be ready for, the perfect opportunity. When Erin and her student go back to the studio, Erin teaches her how to get the most of her candid pictures by using photo editing software to enhance the focal point.
