• Group shots simply document. They should never be a dominant element
• Plan where to take the photos. Guard against distractions and plan for rows.
• You want each person’s face to be at least the size of a pencil head eraser.
• Use more rows rather than long lines.• Make sure ALL faces can be seen. • Have someone watch for inappropriate hand or facial
gestures.• Focus on the middle row. A wide angle lens may help• Leave space around the photo for cropping.• Break down large groups into sections or by grade.• You can be creative, but need to see all faces clearly.
