Position people artistically |
|
|
|
Grouping subjects together in interesting and fun arrangements makes for memorable photos. Also allow
everyone to get comfortable before you start shooting. Waiting for them to talk or tell a story can do
the trick.
If shooting a big group, consider creating two or three small clusters of people within the frame. A couple
loose groupings of three people each works well.
|
Choose the right clothes |
|
|
|
Have your subjects dress in clothes that work well together—such as pieces in the same colour
palette—but are not the same. Subtle patterns can add interest to the shot.
|
Fill the frame |
|
|
|
Don't let your photo be ruined by a cluttered background. Zoom in to ensure your family takes up the full
picture frame. Cropping in close will also produce a photo that shows great detail on people's faces.
|
Shoot subjects at eye level |
|
|
|
Positioning your camera at or slightly below your subjects' eye level will create a more personal photo.
|
Try extreme angles |
|
|
|
Take family photos from interesting vantage points to create images that surprise and please the eye.
|
Get close up |
|
|
|
Use your HP camera's Macro mode to fill the camera's viewfinder and explore the
finer details of your loved-ones' faces. Check the manual for your camera's closest focusing distance.
