Jazz Hands

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together? As a photographer, it's a pain in the neck trying to get people to pose, smile or at the very least look at the camera. It's ten times worse when kids are involved, because their either running around or covered in muck or both.

Well I have to say the photo above, which is possibly the most technical pose I have from the wedding photos I took of Tim and Emma's wedding, was the easiest shot of them all.

It's like there's a genetic memory that forces people to bend their knees, smile and wave their hands like there at a bakery sale and all at the call of "jazz hands". I shall certainly be using this technique again in the future.
