Photo Tips: Directing

I've had some questions about photography recently so I figured every once in a while I'll share a few things I've learned with you guys. 
One important thing to practice is being able to direct the people you are taking pictures of. A lot of times people don't feel comfortable unless you give them a bit of direction on what to be doing with well...themselves.  
To get more fresh spontaneous pictures think of verbs to direct them with.
 Run
 Laugh
 Stare
 Spin
 Stare...again.
Look up
  
Now go out there and grab a friend and direct the heck out of 'em. If you try out these tips send them my way! I'd love to see them!

P.s. Isn't this girl smokin'. We had a little photo shoot together last week and even though it was freezing cold and rainy this girl still managed to look dang hot!
