photography tips - how to pose (5)

When you go out with group of people, this guide might be helpful if you do not know how to pose:

Very simple, just put them close to each other. Then you can consider them as one object. To be in specific order is not that necessary. As long as everybody is visible is good enough. Try to capture full and half body.

A shot from slightly elevated angle would be nice. A unique view where your eyes cannot have.

Photography tips - how to pose (4)

When I go out with my wife, these examples really help me on how to pose:

1. Standing face-to-face while looking at the camera. The lady put his palm on the chest of her man. Both subject  are at  left or right of the picture and will give more space for background

2. The man hugs the lady from her back. The couple may look at each other or look straight into camera.

3. Now it is time for the lady to hug her man from his back. The arms should  look simple and natural.
