Birthday parties, reunions and other events are a collection of moments. George encourages you to look for the "in-between" shots that happen when you're setting up for the "hero" photo.

Learn how creating a comfortable environment allows your subjects to relax and have fun, and why encouraging them to let loose -- dancing on the bed or having a food fight while sitting on the kitchen counter -- will create unforgettable moments. Learn to see and shoot the shots you wouldn't ordinarily take.
Be in the Moment
13:26

Social Sensitivity
