Good Side

For wedding, couple & portrait photographers

Know how to direct them before they arrive.

Send your clients a 2-minute camera quiz. They find their good side and want to share it. You get a session plan: how to warm them up, how to direct them, which prompts to use.

Heard every single week

  • “We're so awkward in photos.”
  • “I never know what to do with my hands.”
  • “He hates having his picture taken.”

Most people aren't awkward. They just haven't been directed the way they need. Good Side tells you which way that is, before the session starts.

Session plan

Emma & Jake: The Spark & the Anchor

Jake brings the energy, Emma brings the calm. Together you balance each other out, and that contrast is beautiful on camera.

Warm-up

Tell them the plan for the session in three sentences before you lift the camera.

First prompts, in order

  1. 1Jake, try to make Emma laugh without words. Emma, try not to.
  2. 2Emma stands still; Jake circles around and steals a kiss.
  3. 3Slow dance where only one of you is allowed to move.
  4. 4Stand close, your hand on their chest, and just listen to their heartbeat.

Watch for

Emma worries most about their smile. Get laughs instead of asking for smiles; shoot just after the laugh.

Built to be shared

Your clients post it. Their friends take it. With your name on it.

Every card carries your studio name. Friends tap through to your quiz page, find their own type, and send it to you in one tap.

Engaged people know other engaged people. Put your quiz link in your Instagram bio and every visitor becomes a warm lead who already knows how they like to be photographed.

Questions

Is this a personality test?
No. It's twelve light questions about how people feel in front of a camera: how much direction they like, their energy, how comfortable they are with closeness. It's for fun and for better photos, not a psychological assessment.
Do my clients need an account?
No. They open a link, answer on their phone in about two minutes and get their result. Nothing to install.
How do I send it?
Copy the link and text it, put it in your welcome email or HoneyBook/Dubsado workflow, or let Good Side email it for you.
What's in the session plan?
A warm-up for the first ten minutes, the directing style that suits them, 10 to 12 prompts in the order to use them, what to avoid, words that work and words that backfire. For couples, how to balance the two of them.
How do payments work?
Pay for Pro with any debit or credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, through our reseller Paddle. Cancel anytime from your billing page.
