Take Better Family Photos

Taking Candid Shots

Avoid taking too many staged photos. They lack excitement. Instead, take photos from different angles—get high, get low and point your camera to the spot where you anticipate action is going to be. The secret to getting great candids is taking lots of pictures. Shoot like crazy and keep the ones you want.
