So, I took the bench from the previous session, turned it around, and used it again. You can do this with chairs and especially with benches out in parks to give your photos a more dynamic look. In fact, you should try walking around the bench or chair and viewing it from different angles. Also notice that by doing it this way, we give their hands something to do – which is something I am always repeating myself on: give those hands something to do. And it didn’t take something fancy to give those hands something to do, we just changed the angle is all.
This time, we are demonstrating how to position heads when working with a family. There are two things that I like to include that work well. First, bring those heads together. You’ll get a smile at some point doing this and it shows closeness and family. Second, have one subject look at the other or even have the subjects look at each other. In this case, the baby is going to look where the baby looks. So, I had her older sister look at her and we ended up with some pretty good shots. That’s two easy things you can do for posing that tends to work really well with families.
