Topic-"Photographing People Around the World". He showed and discussed photos from Japan, Peru, Vietnam, China and other Asian areas. Shared many Tips and Techniques - #1 Be friendly, smile often! Let people pose themselves - if staged, photo looks unnatural. Framing subject -be sure to notice the backgrounds, colors, angles, the sky, and other people around the subject. Put yourself in your photos too! Look around area, you may notice a woman sitting at window ledge looking out, as Norm did!. Look, as your walking around, notice what life is like in their culture, people playing games on sidewalk, etc. Capture people in their natural environment.
