So It’s Not Just About Showing Thumbs, Here are 8 Recommendations for Cool Poses and Photo Styles for Dads on Eid

Kapanlagi.com - During every Eid celebration, the tradition of taking family photos is one that should not be missed. Often, we see dads posing the same way, standing straight with their thumbs up. Although this pose seems simple and has become a trademark, the photo results often appear monotonous and less interesting.

To make this year's Eid photos more appealing and fresh, there are many alternative poses that dads can try. With a little touch of creativity, family photos can look more natural, elegant, and still reflect the warmth of the Eid atmosphere. There’s no need to strike overly complicated or awkward poses; just a few small changes can make the photo results more dynamic and memorable.

Therefore, instead of continuously using the overly common thumbs-up pose, it’s time to experiment with new styles that remain comfortable and more varied. With some guidance, dads can appear more confident in family photos without losing the charm and warmth typically possessed by a family head.

1. Photo Style and Pose Recommendations for Eid for Fathers

To make Eid photos more interesting and not monotonous, here are some style and pose suggestions that fathers can try so they don't just rely on the thumbs-up pose.

1. Relaxed Sitting Pose with Family

Instead of always standing in the back, fathers can try sitting in the middle or next to the family in a relaxed pose. Try crossing your legs, placing your hands on your thighs, or simply leaning back with a warm smile. This pose will create a more relaxed and natural impression in family photos.

2. Warm Handshake Style

To maintain the Eid tradition, fathers can pose with a handshake while smiling. Do this with your child, wife, or other family members to bring a sense of warmth and togetherness that is characteristic of Eid al-Fitr.

Natural poses, such as carrying a child, stroking a head, or simply holding a grandchild's hand, can create more emotional and meaningful photos. This way, the photos will appear more alive and reflect a strong family bond.

4. "Superman" Pose with Hands on Hips

Instead of just giving a thumbs up, dads can try a more confident pose with both hands on their hips, similar to a superhero. This pose gives a firm yet relaxed impression, making it very suitable for showcasing an authoritative side in family photos.

5. Walking or Stepping Pose

To achieve a more modern style, dads can pose while walking slowly towards the camera or to the side with a relaxed expression. This style will make the photo look more dynamic and resemble a professional photoshoot, without requiring excessive effort.

Instead of always posing in a stiff manner, fathers can try to take candid styles, such as laughing freely or chatting with family members. Photos taken during these natural moments usually look more interesting and can convey happiness in a more authentic way.

7. Posing with Eid Props

By utilizing various props such as ketupat, peci, or even traditional Eid cakes, fathers can add a creative touch to make the photos more thematic. For example, fathers can pretend to serve dishes or lift ketupat with a cheerful expression to make the photos look more unique and memorable.

8. Distant Greeting Style

As an alternative to the usual thumbs-up pose, fathers can try posing by waving their hands or clasping their hands together on their chest as a typical Eid greeting. This pose can still reflect warmth and friendliness without seeming stiff or monotonous.

With these various pose variations, fathers can appear more appealing in Eid photos without losing their original character. Therefore, this year, leave the thumbs-up pose behind and try a fresher style!
