When photographing a large group of people it&#8217;s important to elevate yourself a little bit, look for a staircase or look for a balcony that you can perhaps work off. I generally try not to work off a balcony just cause it gives me too much height and I&#8217;m looking down at subjects who are looking up and it creates a pretty un-artful photograph. <\/p>\n<p> But, you know, three or four stairs up or a step ladder if you&#8217;re taking one for a proper shoot. You&#8217;ll notice most of the rule of thirds is gone out, I&#8217;ve got my wedding couple dead center. The only rule of third I&#8217;m using here&nbsp;is my top horizon as being the positive space and the negative space. It&#8217;s also important to try not to let guests be silly and put arms up, you know, blocking other guests. But sometimes, after a few drinks, things are going to happen. It&#8217;s also really important to have a bit more of a wider aperture. F8 is perfect for shooting a large group of people because your maintaining that focus throughout the crowd. Lighting is probably one of the key things, try and find a well lit room. You&#8217;ll probably want to bounce a speed light&nbsp;off the ceiling at a fairly high intensity. <\/p>\n<p> And you wanna try and fill as much of the space as possible. ISO 800 is also going to help with this. When shooting a large group of people, just remember, try and&nbsp;fit everyone in the frame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript When your at a wedding or an event sometimes you want to get a photo of everybody who&#8217;s there.
