Arrange portraits around an objectHere’s a standard group shot—a family sitting on patio, in a row. It’s a nice picture, but there’s no clear relation between the people and the setting. There are too many background elements that are unrelated to the subjects.
Find an object that your subjects can gather around. Like taking a picture from an unusual perspective, it makes the composition more visually pleasing. In this photo, the tree trunk serves as a nice visual balance to the two children. It also connects them with the environment in which the picture is being taken, whether that’s indoors or outdoors.
