Family

Family portraits are a lot of fun – and they can be highly rewarding, too! However, it’s often tough to get started. After all, how do you pose an entire group of people? How do you interact with them? How do you get great photos?

The family pictures photographer has a fun challenge on their hands. One part of the job is certainly all about technical excellence. Mastering things like the basics of good composition, dynamic lighting setups, and the exposure triangle is important. But an equal part of the task involves soft skills like making people comfortable and having a good time. You have to be good at working with kids and the elderly, and sometimes with worried moms and dads. It’s a fun challenge, and getting to capture these special moments is a privilege.
