Can You Help? I'm Looking For Advice?
Hey!
For starters - I'm a professional photographer, done many paid events / gigs! Truly love taking photos and making connections!
I specialize in Concert & Event Photography.
A return client of mine is requesting that I take photos for a Family Christmas photo shoot/event with posed group photos.
One weakness of mine is that I'm awful at posing people 😂
Looking for some advice as they came to me as we did some work in the past and they know how I handle / do business, trusting I'll do things well for them again.
DETAILS The event will be 2 days, 4 hrs per day, taking family portraits in front of their holiday provided background , using their lighting.
They will be in hour long blocks, with no real editing required/requested. I have that part sorted, so no advice needed there.
I'm not the most confident in my abilty to pose families but have done it in the past as a 2nd shooter for a few weddings.
Simply looking for guidance and pro tips / tricks!
I'm confident in shooting the event, and providing quality photos for everyone!
TIA
