Photography at the Office

[GadgetVirtuoso]

More and more I'm being asked to do photos for groups and individuals at the office for company use. I don't mind doing them but the people being photographed aren't exactly willing participants. They go along with it because its for a work activity but barely.

Can anyone give me some tips or suggestions in this kind of situation?

Most people don't like being photographed because they fear they will look like they really look. That may sound strange but it is true. Unless or until they see you can make them look younger, thinner, more glamorous/feminine or handsome/masculine it will not get any better.

Most likely the reason the company wants you to do it is you are already there and already on the time clock so why not. If they had to hire a pro he would charge them, and they are thinking why pay for something we can get for free? The old saying "you get what you pay for still holds true.
