This is Lisa who comes from Leipzig and at the tender age of 18 is walking/camping from Lands End to John O’Groats accompanied only by her backpack weighing some 10 kilos. She hopes to complete her journey in about 60 days. She has a natural smile and is very easy to photograph as these 2 quick “snaps” illustrate. Given that her pack is probably over 20 percent of her body weight, and that she had been walking for 7 hours when this photograph was taken, she is remarkably photogenic.

Being “natural” with the camera is an important part of being photogenic. For some people it is relatively easy and for others a little more difficult, but practicing having your photograph taken by means of a photo-shoot gets you to treat the camera as a friend and we all find it much easier to be “natural” with our friends.

My mate Poth and I walked a mile or two with Lisa early/mid June when we were walking a bit more of the South West Coastal Path near Hayle in Cornwall. We hope it’s going well Lisa, you’ve had some pretty horrible weather the last week or so. If you get the chance email Bob@lookgoodoncamera.com and let us know how you are getting on. Here’s another photo of you. If you want some high resolution copies let me know and I’ll email them to you or send you a print. Good Luck.
