Then I Asked Them To Smile

What was difficult was finding people that I didn’t know or know of in the school to take photos of. Most of these people were substitutes or new teachers. What was also hard was actually asking them for a photo, and some people saying no because they were uncomfortable with their photo being taken.  When the people smile,I notice they seem much nicer based on the photo. Bias could effect your job as a photographer by what angle you take the photo from, what poses you tell them to do, what filter you use, etc. When you are hired as a photographer I would ask the client to tell me what theme or what light they want to be painted in. Then, I would ask them to tell me one good thing about themselves and one bad thing about themselves.  This way I have a balanced opinion of them and not implicit bias.
