Skills of group photo taking

1, take a group photo, and pay attention to using up.

When we take group photos, we usually shoot outdoors, so it's best to avoid shooting in strong sunshine, otherwise it will leave a heavy shadow on the faces of the characters and the shooting effect will be greatly reduced.

If you shoot indoors under special circumstances, you will inevitably use shed light. When using shed lights, don't just use one. This will cause people close to the shed light to be too bright and people far away from the shed light to be too dark. In this way, we can't put the lamp near people, which will cause someone's shadow to be reflected on the people next door.

The correct way is to use more than two shed lights, so that the group portrait can be evenly illuminated left and right. The shed lamp should be placed on the side close to the photographer and keep a certain distance from the subject to avoid the characters being too bright or producing shadows.

2, take a group photo, to arrange the position between the characters.

For a group photo with a large number of people, such as 100 or more, the special ladder for group photo is generally used to arrange the stations, which can easily create a high-level relationship between people, so that everyone can be photographed without deformation and the overall layout is beautiful.

But if you take a group photo of dozens of people, there are no steps, and the slopes are very easy to use, and they are all flat. At this time, we can make reasonable arrangements to let some people squat for a while, or simply sit on the ground and let other members stand behind, so that members' faces will not be blocked. At this time, you can press the shutter.

3. Take a group photo with a small aperture.

Taking a group photo is different from taking a single photo. There are many people taking photos, sometimes hundreds or even thousands, with a wide focus range. Therefore, it is necessary to narrow the aperture and shoot with a small aperture, such as adjusting the aperture to F9-F 16, so as not to blur the members next to the station. In addition, in order to ensure the success of one shot, continuous shooting mode is adopted when shooting, and multiple shots are shot at one time, so as to prevent "imperfect" actions such as blinking and turning head from causing shooting failure.

Related precautions

When taking a group photo, the most difficult problem is everyone's eyes, dozens or even hundreds of people, gently, some open their eyes, some close their eyes. So when taking pictures, you'd better take a few pictures and put them back for inspection. Otherwise, you may not find a picture of everyone with their eyes open in the end. So the solution to close your eyes is to shout the password, and the photographer will take more photos and hand them over to the later art team for processing. Generally speaking, a formal group photo requires that no one can close their eyes.

Most people who are photographed wear uniform clothes, because most group photos are for publicity and commemoration, so if everyone is dressed up, the whole will look beautiful. And the meaning it represents will become different. In terms of clothing, it is best to choose a fresh feeling, with generous colors but not too fancy. After all, it is a group photo. Of course, if there is no uniform clothing, everyone can choose the same color to achieve the best visual effect.
