How to Take Pictures of a Group

Tuesday, March 31, 2009


Sometimes, it takes a little more than getting everyone to smile at the same time to get a great group photo.

Use different levels
The eye likes variation, so get some people sitting, some kneeling, some standing. Use props like a staircase to stagger height.


Look down
Change the view by standing on a chair, ladder, or balcony to shoot down at the group for a more interesting perspective.


Give them something to do
Depending on the occasion, have them jump at the same time, or throw a ball up and have them watch it.


Eyes open, people
Have everyone close their eyes until you say, open! taking the photo as you say it.
