Master Portrait Artist, Tim Kelly, shares one of the ways you can produce the highest quality large group portraits with great efficiency. Many photographers are overwhelmed by these assignments, but even if you're on location, you can still employ these techniques and your groups will be more thoughtfully posed than ever before.
Don't be afraid when these opportunities come up. Break the assignment down into a workable plan that can be executed in SMALLER steps. You'll build a wonderful big group if you think of it as multiple small groups! Good luck.

wow! this is awesome. I'm going to take a family photoshoot today outside of 40 people. I'm definitely a bit worried. I'm pretty savvy at photoshop. So I'm going to try both methods of having everyone pose at once, then take pictures of smaller families and also try compositing that at the end as well.

@b3ckalaw
@b3ckalaw 3 года назад
@@christinanaylor8955 Christina, I learned A LOT from my large group photoshoot. If you are going to try to the smaller families then compositing, don't forget to use your tripod and ensuring the angle is exactly the same. I messed up a few of the pictures by moving around a bit, and changing my angle. Also - do your best to have a clean simple background!! That makes compositing a lot easier. I definitely could not composite the way Tim Kelly does in this video but by having a bg that seams together due to its simplicity, I made it work. Good luck!!!

What I learned from this is, that Tim Kelly is an awesome photographer. Would have liked to get more info on the actual techniques though… This was more of an advertisement for his skills than anything else…
@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques
This is all the info I could sqeeze in to the video. The purpose and goal of the video is to show how to handle a big group while still making portrait art, not a group "photo", and how to plan YOUR shoot so YOU can sell more. Just who would I advertise skills too?
@Dewabarasunderan
@Dewabarasunderan Год назад
@@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques I'm not sure, why you feel the need to put the word “photo” in quotation marks, since I didn't even mention it. If your actual goal was to show people how to handle a big group, maybe you should have shown any actual interaction with that group.

Thank you for sharing your work and techniques with us! Question: you mentioned that every pose, hand position, etc... is planned. So, when you are shooting each family separately, do you already have in mind the next family group and how they fit with the other families so that you have people on different levels?
@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques
@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques 4 года назад
Each group is individually optimized, but I do "pre-think" the connecting persons and how they will overlap. Each group must be good standing alone, but who's sitting and who's standing is all related to height, size etc.
