How to Take Group Photos

It might sound a little strange but if you want to know how to take group photos that truly stand out, keep your composition and lighting simple and shoot your group from above! It will help you avoid getting just their heads in the pictures while at the same time give you a great opportunity to get a general overview of the scene.

This CanvasWorld video offers even more tips and tricks about how to take great group photos:

      •   Have the same light on everyone’s face
      •   Avoid locations (like under a tree) that cast speckled shadows
      •   Stagger the group – kids on the ground, next line in chairs, tallest standing
      •   Give everyone something to do to ensure a more natural look!
