Its great that you finally have a fancy new digital camera but if your photos all look staged then you may need some help with your photography poses.
Photography poses are the difference between average photos that stay tucked away and great photos that are keepers that you’d want to display anywhere in your home.
Generally here is what you want to do when planning for good photography poses.
1) Prepare for the event by thinking about every photograph you want to take and what kind of photography pose or poses you would like to capture. Consider who, where, how, and the type of environment.
2) Make sure you take multiple shots of each pose (remember, digital memory is reusable, a.k.a. “free”).
3) Check your cameras LCD Screen for general framing of the picture, any movement, visibility of faces, and the histogram. Note that you can think up a fantastic photography pose; arrange everyone perfectly; and, have the photograph “frozen” (no blinking, and no shaking of the camera)…but, when you check it out in the LCD, you see 2 drunks fighting in the background!
4)Be prepared with some Funny Phrases just before you take the photo.� Throw in funny anecdotes, phrases, names, words that you know your family will find more amusing than “cheese.” A natural smile looks four times better than a fake one.
Further advice for Taking Great Photos with the Right Photography Poses
When taking great shot you need to consider the following points to get the best shots.
1) Watch Wide Angle You will tend to use the wide angle more often than your telephoto setting. Pay particular attention to your “end people” (those farthest to the right and the left in your viewfinder), and verify there is enough space in picture, so that if cropping is required, the end people don’t have to lose a limb.
2) The Flash is critical. Do not be outside your “flash range.” For example, if at ISO 100, your flash can properly illuminate 12 feet, don’t attempt any photography pose that requires anyone to stand at 14 feet
3) Consider the� Background.� If there are distracting features, change your settings to blur the background
4) Watch the sun.� You want to avoid photographing in direct sunlight, or in mixed light and shade, especially faces. Optimal lighting results from a slightly overcast sky.
5)What about the Shade?� When photographing in shade, use fill-flash to make sure faces are not dark.
