The best camera
As you jump into their faces, the camera is not really important. Normally I
like a small discrete camera, but for these kind of shots, it's not relevant. I use
my Nikon D7000 with a 50mm AF-S 1.8 G. If you use a full frame camera, you
may use an 85mm lens. A fast auto focus would be useful and a frame rate of
4 shots per second would give you good results. I always shoot 2-3 times to
ensure, I really get it and one out of the series will be sharp. Often you have
only one second while they are looking at you, so you have to be prepared.
This means you have to already point your camera at the person, focus on the
eye and be ready to shoot. They will turn their head, look straight at you and
then you have to shoot fast.
