How to take photos with many people?

Photography was introduced to China in11940s. As a new product of western science and technology, it has gradually integrated into China society. However, in the first few decades, photography was just a small circle game, and celebrities and dignitaries could afford it. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China that Shanghai's photography industry was marketized and became something that ordinary people could consume every day.

In addition to personal photos, Shanghai celebrities at that time also had a soft spot for group photos. "Group photography has become a fashionable way for them to express their gay orientation, cordial feelings and close friendship. This fashion is especially common among celebrities. " Tao Ge analyzed the paper. At that time, Shanghai celebrities liked to take photos because civil free association became a common practice during the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, while literati association and celebrity gathering were an ancient habit. In this context, it has become a fashion for like-minded people to get together, form societies, exchange opinions and express their feelings. Taking a group photo is a commemoration of the fun and friendship of comrades-in-arms, which embodies the sense of connection between group members and their recognition of collective identity. "

Nowadays, with the continuous progress of the times, group photo shooting is widely adopted by more and more enterprises. Of course, its shooting technology has also improved with the progress of the times. Now a good group photo should meet the following requirements:

1. The image layout of the collective group is reasonable and substantial.

2. The front and rear rows are not covered.

Everyone in the front row and the last row knows it.

4. The front head is big and the rear head is small without perspective deformation.

5. There is no case of closing eyes.

First of all, let's talk about taking a group photo:

Special lens for taking group photos

1. Special photographic lens: generally, a 50MM standard lens is used. The standard lens truly reflects the objective spatial relationship, and the shooting range is basically consistent with what the human eye sees, so the photos taken by the standard lens have a real perspective effect, and the space is neither exaggerated nor reduced.

2. Medium-sized or large-scale photo, using professional photo transfer. When taking a group photo, it is scanning exposure, and the camera is exposed while rotating. The moment when everyone takes a picture is the moment when the camera lens is facing you. Generally speaking, the camera records the gestures of all the subjects on the film at the moment when the shutter is opened.

3. Wide-angle lens. Try not to use it or use it with caution. Many people only know how to fit everyone in with a wide-angle lens, but they don't know the disadvantages of using a wide-angle lens. First, the lateral deformation is serious, the deformation on both sides is proportional to the wide angle, and the wider the deformation, the more serious it is; Second, the vertical perspective changes obviously, with the portrait in the front row being large and the portrait in the back row being small; Third, imaging on both sides cannot be guaranteed; Fourth, pixels are easily limited and it is difficult to make a big picture.

Let's talk about light first:

When taking group photos, it is best to use soft natural light to avoid too strong sunlight. Generally, it is better to choose 9- 10 or 4-5 pm (of course, different times should be chosen according to different seasons), and it is best to take pictures in cloudy morning.

Collective photography station:

Good posture for group photo is very important. If it is a regular group photo, it is best to arrange it in a square. At the same time, in order to avoid front and back occlusion, you can stand on a table or stool. If it is a general group photo, you can flexibly arrange the station according to the terrain, so that the photos taken will be more vivid.
