Whether the photo shoot is successful or not will be known after reading these points.

Eight key points for successfully taking group photos.

(a) The front and rear rows are unobstructed.

Generally, the main reasons for the occlusion phenomenon are the uneven interval between people in the queue and the height difference between the front and rear rows. Photographers should inform the queuing personnel of the arrangements during the queuing period:

1. The lateral distance between people is a punch on the shoulder, and the front and rear positions are empty. Photographers can also use markers at the station location in advance to determine the station location;

2. Ask the subjects to insert spaces independently, and look for gaps in the front row;

3. For height occlusion, the photographer should find it in time and replace it before and after.

(2) The overall layout of the reform is reasonable.

The overall picture should be determined according to the number of people and the number of available steps. If there are too many people in the horizontal row, it is easy to cause the picture to be long and narrow, and the picture composition is not beautiful; If there are too many columns, it is easy to cause people to cascade and affect the background presentation. Generally speaking, it is suggested that artistic photography should follow people's emotional changes in color to create art, so that viewers and works can have a * * * sound and realize the emotional and artistic effects that photographers want to express (inquiry, avant-garde and conceptual photography are another matter). Of course, people of different genders, different ages, different skin colors, different cultural backgrounds and different regions have different understandings and emotional feelings about colors, and they also have different feelings and associations about the artistic conception created and expressed by photographers using color temperature, which also requires artists' careful consideration.

(3) The subject is clearly visible.

This is the most critical factor to measure the success of the group photo. Take 300dpi, 4:3 ratio,100000 pixels to take a group photo of 500 people as an example. The maximum size of the best developable photo is 13x9 inches, the diagonal is 16 inches, and the pixel area occupied by the scene is12, which is actually the pixel occupied by everyone. If the same digital camera is used to stitch 100000 pixels of10 photos, the final product will reach about100000 pixels, and the pixel area of each subject's face will reach about 20000 pixels, so that even if the method is 40 inches, the subject can still be clearly seen.

(4) The color and tone of the picture are beautiful.

/kloc-group photos of more than 0/00 people generally belong to formal photography, and it is forbidden to use special tones to express them. Unless the object has special requirements, generally, the gray card should be strictly used for on-site metering and manual white balance correction, so as to realize the correct color tone restoration on site. If necessary, use the standard color card shot on site, and adjust the color according to the standard color card later.

(5) The front head is big and the rear head is small without perspective deformation.

Because the focal length of the lens has a direct impact on the perspective deformation of the picture, photographers should avoid using wide-angle lenses with strong perspective, and should use medium-focus lenses with perspective deformation within the acceptable range of ordinary people, and the shooting height should be close to the middle height of the team to avoid the phenomenon of back shooting.

(6) perspective deformation, no middle gap between left and right crowded.

If you shoot with a bracket, you should arrange it in an arc, which can be avoided; If shooting with a fixed number of steps, the photographer needs to move the camera horizontally for loop shooting, or it can be avoided by splicing in the later stage of group shooting.

(7) Do not close your eyes.

How many photos do I have to take to take a group photo without anyone closing their eyes? In fact, when there are more than 50 people, it is almost impossible for people to take pictures without closing their eyes at a time. In actual shooting, the photographer of the same scene should shoot as many times as possible, and the computer screenshots will be spliced later, which can basically avoid the situation of closing eyes.

(8) The background box is of commemorative significance.

Generally, you can choose to take a group photo in front of the landmark building. When shooting, try to avoid the landmark buildings being blocked too much, leaving room for composition.
