Slice of Life
Alot of great photo-ops and shots come down to the basic axiom, "slice-of-life." I always look for slices, especially when people are eating. For a lot of people it's the happiest time of their day, and if you look for that slice-of-life, you're bound to see some interesting and often humourous "ops."
Restaurants and eating establishments are great locations. Here's a guy contemplating a huge seafood dinner. Imagine his anticipation of those delicious flavours. Then keep an eye on the diner for the second message...he's saying with body language, "I'm full, I can't move." It's that body language that we can all understand and that others can relate to when you make a 'before' and 'after' shot.
Before and after shots, images that illustrate an ongoing slice-of-life situation are the ones that make your images stand out, either in a slide show or in an album.
So, look around the next time you see a hungry person.
