One of the most difficult challenges for stock photographers is accurately capturing emotion in their images. The facial expression of the subject determines the mood of an image in many cases, so that is where the challenge lies.
There are several things to consider when striving to portray a particular emotion through the facial expression of the model. It needs to be a little more apparent and stronger than what a person may show in reality. At the same time, it needs to be realistic so as not to seem cheesy.
Much of this will depend on the features of the model. Some people show emotion better than others, whether it be an inviting smile or an intimidating scowl. But the key is finding how they display emotion. No two smiles are alike and every one can show something different.
Designers want natural looking images, so it is essential to make it look unforced. For photographers, coaxing out the best natural facial impressions and capturing them is a challenge, but look for it and it will be there.
