People are an interesting study.  No two people are the same, some are naturally outgoing and always seem happy, others have a naturally serious nature and rarely smile, some are shy and reserved while others just need a little bit of coaxing to reveal their hidden self.  No matter what their nature is the photographer, by gaining the trust and making the subject feel relaxed, can usually capture that nature in a very natural and un-posed way.  This is not always easy, but that’s what makes photographing people interesting and challenging.
