Tips, Tricks & Techniques to Improve Your Photography




How to take Groups Pictures

In general it's easier to take group pictures outdoors so if you have a choice, move everybody outside. If this isn't an option, then follow our suggestions for indoor group pictures. Outdoors—Take your straightforward record picture of people arranged in rows. If sunny, position the group so the sun is lighting their faces. If cloudy, no special care is needed. Consider using a car, a tree, or a swing set as a device for arranging your group. Have the group strike up varied poses: some looking directly at the camera, others looking to the side; some standing, some holding onto something and leaning. Try to create two or three different small arrangements within the bigger group. One or two loose triangles of three people each works well.
