With all the fuss that\u2019s going on, it\u2019s often hard to personalize your subjects, capture an emotion and get the camera to care. That\u2019s why you rarely see group photos in the newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>Developing group photos suitable for large canvas prints is a whole other story. Larger wall prints allow more detail to be seen. They also capture a sense of celebration and a moment in time where everyone was sharing the same experience \u2013 whether that\u2019s a wedding, a sports game or a staff conference.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some etiquette for group photos that will enable you to get a great shot that leaves everyone happy at the end of the process.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Consider Your Location<\/h2>\n<p>At least a week prior to the shoot taking place, be sure to scout for the right location. If your best friend has tapped you on the shoulder to take her wedding pictures because you\u2019re pretty good\u00a0with a camera, keep in mind group photos are a whole different ball game to portrait shots.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately it\u2019s best to shoot group photos in the shade. Avoid taking the shot under a tree as the branches may cast shadows on people\u2019s faces. Assess the time of day so you know which way to shoot to avoid sun in people\u2019s eyes. A group photo full of squinting eyes can deliver a poor result.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1883\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1883\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1883 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Wedding-Group-Photo-Low.jpg\" alt=\"Camera Etiquette - Group Photos - Large Canvas Prints - Group Wedding Photo\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Wedding-Group-Photo-Low.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Wedding-Group-Photo-Low-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Wedding-Group-Photo-Low-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1883\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SUNNY DAY: This shot would&#8217;ve been perfect had everyone not been squinting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re shooting indoors, be sure there\u2019s enough light filling the room as it\u2019s hard to light up 50 people using two photo umbrellas.<\/p>\n<p>For large group photos, shoot from above if you can. It helps get everyone\u2019s happy faces in the picture, with minimal fuss and direction. If you choose to carry out a stunt (e.g. jumping or throwing hands in the air), make sure no-one&#8217;s face is being covered up.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1878\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1878\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1878 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Big-Group-Kids-Above-Low.jpg\" alt=\"Camera Etiquette - Group Photos - Large Canvas Prints - Big Group Kids\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Big-Group-Kids-Above-Low.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Big-Group-Kids-Above-Low-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Big-Group-Kids-Above-Low-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1878\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SHOOT FROM ABOVE: While it&#8217;s easier to shoot from above, if you&#8217;re pulling off a stunt, make sure people&#8217;s hands aren&#8217;t covering other people&#8217;s faces.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If it\u2019s a smaller group photo of 3-10 people, take time to consider the right background. Whether it\u2019s indoors or outdoors, find a neutral, but pleasant space. Move away tables and chairs and anything that\u2019s distracting from or blocking the shot.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Arrange The Right Time<\/h2>\n<p>The best camera etiquette is to take the group photo at the beginning of the event when everyone is looking well, but after they\u2019ve started enjoying themselves.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s a wedding that would mean not directly after the ceremony, but perhaps after they\u2019ve enjoyed a couple of drinks. But certainly not at the end of the night after the hair is all messed up from dancing and all the lipstick has come off.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s at a sporting match, the best time would be prior to the game (and the sweat) starting, but after the coach has given them their pep talk.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1882\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1882\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1882 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Soccer-Low.jpg\" alt=\"Camera Etiquette - Group Photos - Large Canvas Prints - Sports Photo\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Soccer-Low.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Soccer-Low-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Soccer-Low-150x112.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1882\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GET IN EARLY: If you want a smart result like this, be sure to take the shot before the boys get too sweaty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Be sure to announce the time of the photo in advance, giving people a chance to use the restroom \u2013 to look their finest, be comfortable and not miss out!<\/p>\n<h2>3. Take Time To Style<\/h2>\n<p>Vital to etiquette is making sure the most important people are front and center of the shot. Of course, short people should also be moved to the front, but if Grandpa John is 6f 4 and it\u2019s his wife\u2019s 80<sup>th<\/sup> birthday, he still\u00a0deserves a spot up the front.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1881\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1881\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1881 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Group-Corporate-Low.jpg\" alt=\"Camera Etiquette - Group Photos - Large Canvas Prints - Corporate Staff Photo\" width=\"650\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Group-Corporate-Low.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Group-Corporate-Low-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Group-Corporate-Low-150x93.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">COMFORTABLE: While a nice background would help tell a better story, everyone seems happy and comfortable in this photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s always a good idea to group people near their friends and fellow family members. This not only makes sense from a styling perspective, but they will feel more comfortable smiling, hugging and having a good time if they\u2019re close to loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>For the smaller group shots, they need to be tight. If they\u2019re too sparse, it can look awkward. It might appear as though they don\u2019t love each other at all.

Take Control<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s good camera etiquette to let everyone know this very basic premise:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf you can\u2019t see the camera, I can\u2019t see you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Use a loud voice and smile. You must be assertive and direct people to where they need to be. It\u2019s not about being bossy and demanding, but it\u2019s vital \u2013 for everyone concerned \u2013 that you take charge.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1884\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1884\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1884 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Photographer-Low.jpg\" alt=\"Camera Etiquette - Group Photos - Large Canvas Prints - Photographer\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Photographer-Low.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Photographer-Low-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Camera-Etiquette-Group-Photos-Large-Canvas-Prints-Photographer-Low-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1884\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TAKE CHARGE:\u00a0As the trusted photographer, use a loud voice and smile.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Use a loud voice and smile. And remember, while you may be the director, they\u2019re not actors. There will be short people who will hide at the back of the shot simply because they\u2019re too shy to come to the front. Be sure to physically go over and bring them to the front. It\u2019s not that they don\u2019t want to be at the front \u2013 they may very well be enthusiastic about\u00a0being in the picture \u2013 they may simply not want to make a fuss.<\/p>\n<p>Consider finding an assistant to help \u2013 someone who knows that even though Aunty May is pretending to hide at the back and not look interested, she\u2019s actually interested in being up the front.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re asking people to get up on strange things \u2013 like rocks or fences or chairs \u2013 give them time to get themselves up there and help them up if they need it.<\/p>\n<p>Ask everyone to raise their chins. Just like in portraits, avoiding double chins means the photo won\u2019t be relegated to the bottom of the photo pile that says \u2018Complete waste of time\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>On that note, do not have multiple people shooting photos as the same time as you as people won\u2019t know where to look. Group photos generally appear as large canvas prints \u2013 eye direction and eye contact is vital. Once you&#8217;ve mastered the art of group shots, it&#8217;s time to get the printed on canvas.
