"My name is Anthony Maddaloni, and I'm going to talk about how to smile for the camera. Now, one way that I get people to smile for my camera when I'm photographing is I try to tell them to think of something that genuinely makes them happy. It sounds a little corny and cheesy, but if you really think about it, just think about something that's going to make you happy. It could be your kids, it could be your wife, your girlfriend, your husband, that vacation you've been saving for that you're going to go on in a few months. I mean, if you really think about it, there are plenty of things that really do make us happy. And if you could take the photographer out and just put yourself in a happy place, you're going to smile and it's going to make you take a nice picture, and the photographer happy that he or she did a good job. So that's one of the main ways I try to think how do I make myself smile for the camera. The other is to relax. If you really think about it, a good picture's over in very little time. So just do it, and then make a nice smile, and it'll all be over with. But remember just to relax. It's really not that hard. And that is how I would smile for the camera."
