Typically i take pictures of my sister for photography so she's used to me asking, though it sometimes still takes some sort of bribery. She is good at modeling, I love the different emotions her face expresses. I personally love portraits so when i'm taking pictures of people it's usually the face I focus on. I'll place my sister in a place that has good lighting because i like pictures with lots of exposure and bright highlights. When using my Canon i would usually put it on the soft feature so with the bright light the image is soft and so is the models face.
When shooting with friends and family it's a lot easier to experiment with different angles and ideas because i'm comfortable and familiar with them, Unlike someone i don't know as well, i don't know which lighting, angle, or zoom would look best. So that's why i will choose my sister or a friend as my top choice when i'm taking pictures.
