Candid Photos - Squish Real Close and Do Something Silly

January 27, 2008 · Filed Under Photography Tips 

Candid pictures are great, but sometimes we need to take posed pictures. It seems like you can’t have a family get-together or a birthday party without needing to get a picture of everyone together. Next time you take a posed picture, don’t just tell people to get in a group and smile. If a film director told all the actors to “just smile and say your lines” the movie wouldn’t be very interesting. Well, neither are “stand there and smile” pictures. Telling people exactly how to stand and pose looks unnatural, but picking a location, props, or even a general pose (squish real close and do something silly) can add a bit of fun to your shots.

Take charge of your pictures and watch them come to life.
