How to shoot a group of people clearly

Wandering on the internet, I found a good photography blog, and explained how to shoot a group of people clearly through a group of cartoon models.

1.7 1/350 ISO 200

In the above photo, I used a 50mm lens, but I chose F 1.7 (you can also choose F 1.4) because I think the depth of field of F 1.7 is very sufficient. It is easy to see that although the aperture is very large, everyone's eyes are basically clear and there is no hole, because I ordered them to stand on the same horizontal line, focusing on lisa, the Indian youth Apu next to lisa, because the skin color is darker, and it will appear more clearly visually. So when you shoot several family members together, try to make them stand in the same straight line and then focus on the center.

1.7 1/350 ISO 200

If you think you want a blurred background, don't want them to stand in a line, and want to use F 1.7, it is impossible to shoot it except for manual blurring in the later stage. But I still insist that there is no need for later period, so there is no need for later period. I think it's also nice to attend a birthday party in the above picture, for example, the birthday baby is in front of the middle, and the baby's friends can be inserted in the back:)

1.7 1/350 ISO 200

In this way, a multi-person photo that conforms to 1.7 will inevitably be blurred from the second person.

f6.7 1/ 125 ISO 800

If you change the aperture to 6.7, if you are far away from the person being photographed, basically everyone will be very clear, but this one is closer to me, so it will be blurred.

f 1 1 1/90 ISO 1600

Even if F 1 1 is used, it will be blurred if it is too close.

f 1 1 1/90 ISO 1600

This is more commonly used. To make sure everyone knows, keep your distance, use a small aperture.

Because it is an anime doll, it is very small and placed on the ground. I shot close to them. If you are taking a family photo, in most cases, you don't need to be so close to the theme. If you can't master the aperture of F 1, basically set it between F4.0 and 5.6, which can not only keep a little depth of field, but also make the characters relatively clear.

So "first line" and "small aperture" are two main considerations.
