In the Amusement Park
Make best out of your trip to an amusement park with a friend! Look through different funny group photo poses to match your mood.
Capture the Motion
Capturing the moment you are flying off the dock or water sliding is another way to realize funny group photo ideas. You can print a picture and hang it in your room.
Experiment with Your Environment
Use any day of the year to have fun outside with your friends. Choose a picturesque background and set a camera on self-timer to fully enjoy the shooting!
Involve Bicycles
Group photo ideas with bikes in the pleasant setting are truly limitless. Simply ask someone to take a photo while you and your bestie are riding close to each other.
Must-Have Holiday Pictures
When you and your friends are crazy enough to enjoy every holiday to its fullest don’t waste even a moment! Capture the moment you play snowballs or make a snowman!
Confetti Explosion
Confetti undoubtedly adds holiday spirit into the frame! Fits greatly any special occasion and always raises the mood! Tip: Recommend you models to surprise a friend with a Christmas gift while shooting!
Redo the Old Image
Making a collage from old and new photos is another group photo idea that would warm your heart. It`s been a while since you know each other, and surely you have favorite photos so recreate it at the same place with the same poses and make good memories last longer.
Let the Sun into the Frame
Group photo ideas like this let you have fun with your BFF even while shooting! Take your time at the beach soaking up in the sun, jumping, enjoying the ocean view, and shooting a lot.
Piggybacks!
This is a perfect pose for group photo ideas friends. Usually giving each other piggyback rides evokes endless sincere laughter so make sure to capture these moments! Especially winning pose for school photos.
Eye-to-eye With Child
This is a great pose for group photography with kids. Ask parents bend or squat to be on the kid`s eye level so that composition becomes more harmonious. Pictures like this demonstrate deep family affection.
Make a Train
This pose is a bit more entertaining version of the previous group photo idea. Ask family members to sit one behind another and make sure that every face is visible. Let the tallest people be in the “head of the train”. This pose works great for the large group photos as it lets to arrange even 5 people in an organic and funny way into a frame.
Seated Poses for Family group Portraits
There are two reasons I prefer to start family group shooting with everyone taking relaxing poses. First of all, in this position I can remain at the same eye level with both parents and children and simultaneously, learn more about them. Secondly, relaxing and holding each other closely lets models become comfortable with a camera pointed straight at them.
To take such a group photo you need to choose the proper place. Make sure it is clean enough and people would be comfortable to sit there. The safety also matters a lot. Ask the family group to sit as tight as possible. Holding hands and hugging would be even better as these holistic ties displayed in the group shot will make it heartwarming and special.
Lean on Something
Some group photo poses look very natural. That is why I recommend prefer taking lifestyle photographs. Leaning in a tree or a wall is quite a common habit and most people often do it in the street. Try different positions with family members. Ask your group to link hands or hold the child. When you have a low beautiful branch or a hole in the wall, make the child stand there while parents are holding him/her. Funny group photo ideas like this make models interact with each other in a special way and result in catchy and emotional frames. View other portrait photography poses in the same manner.
Holding Hands Walk
This is one of the most heartwarming group picture poses. Ask parents to join hands with children and take a short walking around, not just posing. This way you can capture beautiful group portrait in a natural way. If parents and children look at each other instead of nervous peeping at a camera, a walk like this will let the family feel like they are alone. This is a lucky chance for the photographer to take sincere photographs.
Note: If you want to make some adjustments to the photo just let me know. I can do it for you at a very low cost. You can hire me to edit your photo
