be a challenge, but the complications are compounded
with each subject that is added to the frame. Not only
must each subject look good individually, but the group
must also look good collectively. Additionally, the relationships
between the subjects often need to be established
through the posing and composition of the image.
This collection is designed as a springboard for facing
the many challenges of posing groups. Filled with images by
accomplished professionals, it provides a resource for photographers
seeking inspiration for their own work. Stuck on
what to do with a particular group or unsure how to use
a given location? Flip through the sample portraits, pick
something you like, then adapt it as needed to suit your
tastes. Looking to freshen up your work with some new
poses? Find a sample that appeals to you and look for ways
to implement it (or some element of it) with your subjects.
For ease of use, the portraits are grouped according to
the number of subjects shown in the frame. Thus, the book
begins with groups of two, then moves on to larger and
larger groups—all the way up to images with more than
twenty-five subjects. (Note: Groups of two, probably the
most common portrait grouping, are more extensively covered
in another volume in this series: 500 Poses for Photographing
Couples).
It can be difficult to remain creative day after day, year
after year, but sometimes all you need to break through a
slump is a little spark. In this book, you’ll find a plethora of
images designed to provide just that.
