Real, natural emotions captured with a camera can be challenging like getting photos of real laughter.
How to approach people photography is up to you. There are two basic approaches:
- The sneak attack with a long lens where the subject is unaware of being photographed
- The direct approach where the subject is engaged with you and the camera

Weekly Photography Challenge – Laughter
How you decide to approach it is up to you. Do you prefer to be inconspicuous and wait for the right moment, observing people from afar. Or do you like to be part of the action, maybe even take part in or help cause the laughter.
Do you find, like I do, that children are quicker to laugh than adults? Perhaps because they have less inhibitions? Or maybe they’re just sillier?
Either way – go take some photos of people laughing, and have some fun yourself!
