Group Photos
A group photo captures everyone who attends your gathering all at once. That makes it the single most important image of the event.
Tips
- When everyone is visible within the viewfinder, ask if they can clearly see the camera with both eyes. If they can, the camera can see their faces.
- A hillside or bleachers can make everyone visible. Try to arrange lines of people of equal height. Shoot as close as possible without cutting people out of the picture.
- Natural outdoor light is best for group pictures. Aim for a late afternoon shot, as that is when the light is most flattering.
- Gather everyone’s email address to distribute copies of the photos digitally. Web sites such as Flikr.com or snapfish.com are a great resource for distributing photos online without any additional cost.
