Golden Hour Outdoor Group Portraits
Golden hour (PM)3 shots| # | Shot | Direction | Pose | Framing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Backlit Walk | Capture the group walking toward or across the light with soft rim lighting; shoot wide enough to show movement and relationship cues (holding hands, linked arms). Movement makes the group feel relaxed and genuine. | Use continuous shooting to capture natural interactions between steps. | Medium |
| 2 | Sunset Sill Silhouette | Place the group on a low wall or hill with the sun behind them to create soft silhouettes but keep enough fill on faces to read expressions; great for profile galleries where mood matters more than facial detail. | Use a reflector or fill-flash to recover faces if Feeld thumbnail crops require visibility. | Medium |
| 3 | Cuddled Bench Portrait | Have the group sit close on a bench with shoulders overlapping and the sun at a low angle behind—frame from mid-thigh up to capture touch and eye contact. This projects warmth and consensual intimacy important for Feeld users. | Coordinate neutral tones to avoid color clashes in warm light. | Medium |

Hero Shot — Clear Group Intro
Indoor · any time4 shots| # | Shot | Direction | Pose | Framing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tight Triangle Portrait | Frame the group close together in a triangle composition so every face is visible; waist-up to headshot crops work best for mobile thumbnails and show connection without crowding. This communicates who is part of the group at a glance. | Ensure equal lighting on all faces; avoid one person being cut off in the thumbnail crop. | Medium |
| 2 | Staggered Height Line | Arrange people at slightly staggered heights (sitting/standing/step) so no one is blocked, shoot at chest-to-head framing to keep faces readable on Feeld’s small preview. This clarifies roles and avoids hierarchy that confuses viewers. | Use a step, bench, or stool to create natural height differences. | Medium |
| 3 | Center-Anchor Pose | Place one or two anchor partners slightly forward with others leaning in—this is useful if the group has a primary couple and additional partners; frame to include hands or touch to show connection. Good for showing relationship structure without captions. | Discuss who wants to be center beforehand to avoid awkward power dynamics. | Medium |
| 4 | Solo-in-Group Thumbnail | A crop that isolates one member in the group context (e.g., crop the hero shot tighter around a single person but still hinting at others behind them) to use as a thumbnail while keeping the group identity visible in the gallery. This helps individuals also appear in search results. | Take full-frame and then crop in post to test different thumbnail options. | Medium |

Cozy Indoor Lifestyle Shots
Indoor · any time3 shots| # | Shot | Direction | Pose | Framing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cooking Together | Capture the group preparing a meal: one person stirring, another tasting, others laughing—frame medium to include hands and faces so viewers can see shared activity and chemistry. Activity shots suggest compatibility for dates and living together. | Clear the counter of personal items that could distract from the interaction. | Medium |
| 2 | Board Game Night | Shoot across the table showing faces and game pieces; low angle keeps everyone visible and creates a narrative-friendly image that reads well in Feeld galleries. This conveys playful, consensual group dynamics. | Use a small LED to add soft fill if overhead lighting is harsh. | Medium |
| 3 | Shared Couch Cuddle | Arrange soft, non-sexual cuddling on a couch with layered throws and pillows; frame from waist-up and include hands and heads to show closeness without explicitness. Feeld audiences appreciate clear indications of boundaries and comfort. | Avoid overly staged poses—ask everyone to relax and interact naturally. | Medium |

Candid Activity & Interaction Shots
Indoor · any time3 shots| # | Shot | Direction | Pose | Framing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Laughing Conversation | Ask the group to tell a quick, funny story and capture candid reactions; tight head-and-shoulders frames show genuine smiles and make profiles feel approachable. Authentic laughter increases perceived trustworthiness. | Use a faster shutter or high-ISO setting to freeze expressions. | Close-up |
| 2 | Shared Hobby Action | Photograph the group actively engaged in a hobby (bouldering, cooking, painting)—use wider framing to show environment and props that tell a clearer story about interests relevant to Feeld matches. | Make sure all faces are visible during action or take a follow-up still moment. | Environmental |
| 3 | Subtle Touch Sequence | Create a short series of shots that emphasize consensual, subtle touch (hand on shoulder, intertwined fingers) to communicate connection without explicitness; use shallow depth of field to draw attention to the gesture. | Discuss comfort levels beforehand and respect boundaries for close contact. | Medium |

Close-Up & Detail Shots
Indoor · any time3 shots| # | Shot | Direction | Pose | Framing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Linked Hands Close-Up | Frame a tight crop of hands linked or resting on one another to show connection; use natural light and shallow depth of field so the gesture reads even at thumbnail sizes. This helps communicate consent and partnership roles. | Remove distracting jewelry unless it’s meaningful to the group story. | Close-up |
| 2 | Accessory or Tattoo Story | Photograph distinctive accessories or tattoos that explain a shared interest or inside connection—crop to include a hint of faces or outfits so context is preserved for Feeld viewers. | Keep backgrounds simple to avoid visual noise. | Medium |
| 3 | Portrait Detail Sequence | Capture three 1:1 headshot-style close-ups of each member in the group with consistent lighting and background so viewers can easily identify individuals in the group photos. These act as visual labels for group profiles. | Match framing and color grading across all individual shots for consistency. | Close-up |

Nightlife & Low-Light Atmosphere Shots
Indoor · any time3 shots| # | Shot | Direction | Pose | Framing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bar Counter Glow | Use warm side light from a bar lamp or candle to illuminate faces while keeping the background dim; frame three-quarters to waist so gestures and drinks provide context without losing facial detail. | Bring a portable fill LED to brighten faces without flattening mood lighting. | Medium |
| 2 | Neon-Candid Trio | Use neon signs or street lighting to create moody, colorful group portraits—position the sign behind or to the side and use a faster lens to keep faces sharp in low light. Colorful lighting differentiates Feeld profiles in feeds. | Balance white balance carefully so skin tones remain natural. | Medium |
| 3 | Soft Candle Conversation | Capture an intimate circle around a candlelit table with one soft fill to keep expressions visible; tight crop to include faces and hands helps the viewer read consent and closeness even in a moody shot. | Check that candles don’t create distracting hot spots in thumbnails. | Medium |

Before you shoot
Run through these the night before so the shoot itself stays fast.
- Discuss boundaries and consent up front. Before shooting, have each group member state what types of photos and touch are comfortable; documenting consent avoids awkwardness and ensures images are appropriate for Feeld’s community.
- Plan one hero shot and three supporting images. Decide which single image will serve as your Feeld group thumbnail and plan three complementary shots (close-up, activity, candid) so your gallery tells a consistent story.
- Coordinate outfits, not uniforms. Choose a color palette of 2–3 complementary tones and avoid exact matching; coordinated clothes read better in group thumbnails and keep the focus on faces and chemistry.
- Scout locations and check thumbnail crops. Visit each location and take quick test shots on a phone to confirm backgrounds, spacing, and how the image crops to square and vertical—Feeld displays small previews, so test visibility beforehand.
- Assign roles for the shoot day. Pick someone as timekeeper/photographer liaison, one person to manage wardrobe touch-ups, and a consent lead to pause or stop the shoot if anyone becomes uncomfortable.
