In portrait shooting, when shooting a single person, the eyes focus on one point, so how to choose the focus when shooting two people?

If two or more people are at the same shooting distance, you can choose who is in focus.

If there are many people at different shooting distances, let's first look at who are the protagonists of these people and who are the focus subjects. The focus of two or more people, regardless of the main character, depends on the size of the set aperture value. Generally, small aperture is used as much as possible, resulting in a wide range of depth of field, covering many people in the range of depth of field, so that the talents photographed are clear.

If you don't know how to use the depth of field, use a smaller aperture and focus a little forward between the two people, because the depth of field behind is larger than the foreground.

Portrait photography is blurred, so it is impossible to use a small aperture. Therefore, the specific situation should be treated according to needs. Flexible use is the basis of shooting. You can't just focus on the target in your eyes blindly. If you are shooting a sideways portrait, your eyes are not at the same shooting distance. Which eye do you pay attention to? Or the bridge of the nose? Here, it depends on what to show before choosing the focus.
