Group Portraits

Tips on Capturing a Group

Group portraits are very hard to capture. It’s hard to get everyone looking in the same direction, with a normal face. So some tips on how to overcome that to take lots of pictures of the same pose.

It shows when they are uncomfortable, and no one likes that. If you want some more tips the digital school of photography has some great tips.
