Tuesday Tips #236 Mastering the Group

If you have ever been handed the audacious task of shooting a group session, you know that assuming that your subjects will just fold in naturally creating the perfect triangle is a pure daydream. The old “planning makes perfect” is most certainly applied here.

Prior to you shot, sketch out a few group set ups, building around your main subjects, such as the parents or business owners. If you are able to find out the heights of your subjects, all the better since your sketch will be more accurate and allow you to plan for props to add height if need be.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
