To capture an image is more than just remembering a setting, it is remembering a moment. This is especially true when photographing people. The environment the person is in speaks on their character, their interests, lifestyle, it's almost limitless. And this story is told almost always in less than 1 second! Switzerland based Photographer Georgios Kefalas values this and applies it to his work. He loves to capture emotion in his images, especially in sports. The above series is composed of 9 images captured by Lefalas of FC Basel player Carlitos after scoring a goal against FC Lucern.
If you have not experimented with Burst Mode on your camera, give it a try. Most lower end DSLRs are able to burst at least 3fps. This is great for capturing a series, but can also be useful when you are having trouble getting "the shot." Even when working with models, it may be helpful to shoot burst for a couple scenes. You will be amazed at the difference between a simple tilt of the chin in a portrait. Also, theoretically, the second shot during a burst will contain less camera shake, resulting in a sharper image.
