Still finding it quite tough to get creative with people. I've promised some friends I'll take a series of shots of them with their young child (about 18 months old).
It's a mixed-race family, so I guess I'm gonna have to get em dressing in the right colours and choose the background carefully so I don't have too many problems with exposure - but I'm more concerned about the posing of the three of them to be honest, since I've not done family photography before.
Anyone got any recommendations for a great book that inspires you with poses and that kinda thing?
Also, what sort of lighting situation would you recommend? And should we go for indoor or outdoor (guess I can shoot at their home and then go in the back garden for some other work).
I really want to get this right! Thanks so much.
