Whether it’s gals or guys, posing your subjects can be daunting. Especially when you have a handful of people to photograph. In this 2-minute tip, Joshua gives us a nugget of wisdom to think about when posing the guys.

It’s challenging to keep the composition interesting when taking a group photo. Truthfully, there’s not much variety going on when all the groomsmen are dressed the same on wedding day. Today, we discuss the solution.

So, next time you have a large group to capture, try out this subject staggering tip, spread the people out, and see what cool component it can add to your photo.
