How To Photograph Group Portraits

froknowsphoto.com In FroKnowsPhoto Show #6 Jared and I discussed group portraits since we had photographed a big group of about 200 people at UG7. He had a cherry picker and the perfect conditions for it. Unfortunately most of the time that is not the case. We need to pose everyone correctly in order to have them looking their best. In my video I discuss how to position everyone so their faces can be seen, higher angles, large and small group portraits and a few other small tips which make a huge difference in the overall photograph.

    Very helpful!
    Even people (like me) with little knowledge about the Englisch language can understand what the photographer says because he speaks so slowly and clearly.
    Thank you very much!

    Last photo. Don’t like the background, what’s that white thing on the left. Couldn’t you bring a background or use something neutral. This picture could be saved with a crop. IMHO

    Wake up people! this is just Youtube videos, so what if Jared leaves something out or adds extra, this is NOT a legal matter, no liability, nothing, its not rocket science!

  28. currahee03 says:

    If you have one person closer to the camera than the other, you will use a smaller aperture to increase depth of field. For instance, shoot at F9 or F11. This will keep everybody in focus in case some are closer to the camera than others. Make sure you use a tripod if possible since the smaller aperture will let in less light, consequently reducing your shutter speed and increasing the possibility of motion blur if your shooting hand held.

  29. bblove302 says:

    how do you photograph 2 or more people without blurring the other person?

  30. TheSushiAssassin says:

    Yeah, stop reading your aperture wrong. The 2.8 you see is your lens your using, look up to the middle line.
