Group Pictures
You know how it goes. You’re at an event, whether it be a wedding, a family reunion, or a party. Whatever the situation is, you are with a group of people who you have not seen in awhile and you desperately need a group photo. You set everyone up and think that you have everything right, but then when you look at the photo afterward, everyone’s face is blurry, someone’s head is cut off, and it looks like you shined an awkward flashlight on everyone and for some reason they all look green!
Here’s what you can do to make group photos turn out better. For one, if it’s at all possible, move to a window or some other source of natural light so that everyone looks more naturally lit. If you are outside, find shade to stand in or have your back to the sun to avoid squinty eyes. As the photographer, stand with your back to the window. You’ll see a world of difference. Also as a simple trick, most phones have facial recognition. Just tap on people’s faces until it focuses. Next, if you’re taking a selfie, get the person with the longest arm to take the photo, and have them take it from the top. It makes everyone look just a bit thinner and it’s easier to not cut people’s faces out.
