Stephen Dent knows that the summer is often the season when we spend the most time with our families, children are home from school and return from college, everyone gets together for vacations, reunions, and celebrations while the weather is nice. This is the perfect time to capture all your family moments, and there are a few easy tips for taking great family pictures. Read on to learn how to put your camera to work for your family…
Candid photos-candid pictures can be fun to take, but they do have the tendency to catch people making embarrassing faces as they speak. The best advice for taking great candid photos is to try to avoid taking pictures of family members while they are speaking. It can also be very helpful to snap a candid photo from a slightly greater distance than you would for a posed picture; this way you get more context in the image, helping you remember why you took that photo in that moment. If you get too much background, you can always crop it out later, but you can never add background that didn’t make it in to the picture in the first place!
Posed photos-posing family members for pictures is an awesome way to make sure that you get the entire family in one picture, and that everyone is looking at the camera, and hopefully smiling, with their eyes open (we all know that at least one person is bound to have their eyes closed at the wrong moment!). Stephen Dent recommends that you be creative in your posed pictures, rather than just having everyone line up in front of the same couch or wall every year. Try taking the family around the grill for some silly merriment, or take a dramatic night picture around the fire pit. These are just suggestions, use your creative power to frame lasting memories that you love!
