PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE

People are the most interesting of all subjects. A photograph with someone in it is almost always more
compelling than the same shot without the human interest. People are also the most difficult subjects to
photograph well. Apart from the technical and artistic considerations, the photographer has to be conscious of
actions, gestures and expressions. And often the presence of the camera itself can have a disastrous effect on
these.

A GROUPING PEOPLE

Avoid straight lines in group shots. Ask
people to stand at different angles and

distances and if possible on different levels. Otherwise, have some of the group sitting or kneeling at the front so
that you can see all the faces, or raise your own viewpoint.

</div>
(6)<div class='page_container' data-page=6>

People seldom act naturally in front of the camera. Often they stiffen up and the pose becomes rather wooden.
Relax your subject by helping him to find a comfortable position. You might suggest he folds his hands or puts
them in his pockets.

C THE RIGHT APPROACH

Never try to pretend that you are not taking a picture of someone when it is clear that you are as this only creates
tension and even hostility. Most people will agree to have their picture taken - perhaps after some initial
protestations - and are quite flattered by it. But they are likely to become rather self conscious and you may need
to direct them. A picture can be spoiled by the fact that the subject is looking rather aimlessly out of the picture

so that the interest lies elsewhere.

D EYE CONTACT

A picture gains immediate impact if the

subject appears to be looking at the viewer of the picture. Ask your subject to look into the lens - not necessarily
to smile as well - and this is the effect you will get. The subject may not be able to do this for too long: he may
become self-conscious or be distracted by someone nearby. So remind him once more, just before you release
the shutter. Or try saying something funny or unexpected as you take the shot for a genuine reaction rather than
a meaningless stare.

E CANDID CONCENTRATION

An alternative to direct eye contact is for the subject to concentrate on something within the picture area. Your
subject might find this easier to do, and the viewer can follow the attention to another part of the picture. You
get the impression that you are observing the subject unnoticed. Candid shots have a special fascination and the
subject's expression is vital to the picture.

F EXPRESSIONS AND GESTURES

Expressions and the gestures that go with them tell us more about the subject of a photograph than anything
else. Even if he is obviously badly treated and hungry, a laughing child provokes a smile from the viewer,
whereas a sad expression produces a sympathetic sadness in the viewer, however apparently comfortable the
subject may be. Look for familiar expressions for your portraits: shrugs, winks, anger, tears, thumb sup,
fist-clenching and so on. They are an instant visual language.

G SITUATION INTEREST

Though shots which isolate a figure or face prominently have great impact, the subject's background or

environment can add extra interest and information about the subject. When using a background in this way, try
to exclude details that are not relevant to the subject or blur them by focusing selectively. Make sure that the
subject is not overwhelmed by the background - a wide angle lens will make your subject appear relatively
larger by comparison with the background.

H INTERACTION

Wherever two or more people are talking, arguing, haggling, joking or working together, there are opportunities
for good pictures. Couples make appealing shots; so do mothers and babies, teachers and children or teams of
people working or playing a sport. Look out I especially for contact between the subjects - either eye-contact or
physical contact, like a protective hand on the arm or a handshake. Or show how one is reacting to another by
waiting for an animated expression or telling gesture.

I. PEOPLE AND PLACES

</div>
(7)<div class='page_container' data-page=7>

will be far easier to do. A good picture will show a balance between the subjects and the place they were
visiting, so that both claim an equal share of the viewer's attention.

J TO POSE OR NOT TO POSE?

Part 2. Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow

Day after day we hear about how anthropogenic development is causing global warming. According to an
increasingly vocal minority, however, we should be asking ourselves how much of this is media hype and
how much is based on real evidence. It seems, as so often is the case, that it depends on which expert you
listen to, or which statistics you study.

Yes, it is true that there is a mass of evidence to indicate that the world is getting warmer, with one of the
world's leading weather predictors stating that air temperatures have shown an increase of just under half a
degree Celsius since the beginning of the twentieth century. And while this may not sound like anything
worth losing sleep over, the international press would have us believe that the consequences could be
devastating. Other experts, however, are of the opinion that what we are seeing is just part of a natural
upward and downward swing that has always been part of the cycle of global weather. An analysis of the,
views of major meteorologists in the United States showed that less than 20% of them believed that any
change in temperature over the last hundred years was our own fault - the rest attributed it to natural cyclical
changes.

There is, of course, no denying that we are still at a very early stage in understanding weather. The effects of
such variables as rainfall, cloud formation, the seas and oceans, gases such as methane and ozone, or even
solar energy are still not really understood, and therefore the predictions that we make using them cannot
always be relied on. Dr. James Hansen, in J988, was predicting that the likely effects of global warming
would be a raising of world temperature which would have disastrous consequences for mankind: "a strong
cause and effect relationship between the current climate and human alteration of the atmosphere". He has
now gone on record as stating that stating that using artificial models of climate as a way of predicting
change is all but impossible. In fact, he now believes that, rather than getting hotter, our planet is getting
greener as a result of the carbon dioxide increase, with the prospect of increasing vegetation in areas which
in recent history have been frozen wastelands.

(9)<div class='page_container' data-page=9>

Who, then, to believe: the environmentalist exhorting us to leave the car at home, to buy re-usable products

packaged in recycled paper and to plant trees in our back yard? Or the sceptics, including, of course, a lot of
big businesses who have most to lose, when they tell us that we are making a mountain out of a molehill?
And my own opinion? The jury's still out as far as I am concerned!'
