Ways to Put Your Face in a Picture Holding a Deer

Positioning

• In all photos of the hunter and the deer, it's important the hunter is not blocking the view of the deer. Thus, this means positioning the hunter behind or to the side of the deer. This not only makes it easier to see all of the deer, but also shows the size comparison between the hunter and the deer. After all, the deer should be the main focus of the photo.

Holding The Antlers

• The most common photo of a deer and its hunter is the hunter kneeling behind the deer, holding up the deer's antlers with both hands. The antlers should be positioned in front of and below the hunter's face. This raises the deer's head, making it easier for the camera to catch the deer's face, and shows the hunter's dominance.

To the Side

• Pose to the side of the deer, either while still holding up the deer's antlers or simply kneeling beside the deer. This is the common option when multiple people are in the photo. If there are two people, position one on each side of the deer. If there is a third person, position him behind the deer's antlers. No matter the case, don't block the deer's body.

Background and Angle

• A photo of you and the deer you hunted becomes crowded when there is a distracting background. Typically, it's best to take the photo where you hunted the deer, such as the forest. Taking the photo in a truck bed or in a garage is often too busy and takes away from the focus of the deer and you. As well, consider the angle where you take the photo. As the deer and hunter are on the ground, get down low to the ground to take the photo, instead of standing and pointing the camera down at the deer and its hunter. Getting low and shooting straight-on gives a better perspective and shows the big size of the deer.
