How to shoot graduation photo in high school?

1, camera settings

The depth of field should be considered when taking a group photo. Unlike a single photo, the large aperture background is blurred. Generally, the group photo is taken with a small aperture, and the shutter speed should not be too slow. Take into account the blink speed of people, otherwise some people's eyes will be blurred or hard to open after shooting.

2, standard lens or 50mm focal length

There are only 30 to 50 students in most classes, so it is enough to shoot with a standard lens, and it can also ensure horizontal and vertical. If it is an APS-C camera, use a focal length of 35MM, which is close to that of a 50mm camera after conversion. If it is a full-frame camera, there is no need to convert the equivalent focal length. Graduation photo shot from this angle is square and looks very standard.

Prepare a tripod.

At present, schools or some students have their own SLR cameras or other types of cameras, so they can shoot graduation photo by themselves, but it's best to prepare a tripod and don't miss any of them. With the tripod, students who are photographers can take pictures together as long as they set a "timer" or "selfie" on the camera.

4. graduation photo shooting time

The best time to take a group photo is 7: 00 am to 9: 00 am and 4: 00 pm to 5: 00 pm. The light in these two periods is the softest and not dazzling. This kind of photo can't be taken against the light, it will make the face look very dark, and don't stand under the tree, it will make some people's faces appear spots or shadows. In short, find an open place and shoot in the soft light in the morning. This is the right way.
