How To Take Large Group Photos

Описание: 🎬 The behind-the-scenes chaos of photographing 100+ staff members for their annual company photo - and somehow making it work!

This is what real event photography looks like: getting lost on location, directing a massive crowd, and trying to make sure everyone can see the camera (and I can see them). From the initial panic to the final "hands up" celebration shot, this is the unfiltered reality of large group photography.

⚡ WHAT YOU'LL SEE:
✅ Real-time problem solving with 100+ people
✅ The bracketing technique that saves outdoor shoots
✅ How to direct massive groups without losing your mind
✅ Canon R5C + 15-35mm lens setup for large groups
✅ The "if you can't see me, I can't see you" rule
✅ Authentic behind-the-scenes photographer stress
✅ Why group photos are both thrilling and terrifying

🎯 PHOTOGRAPHY INSIGHTS:
• Bracketing outdoors = lighting lifesaver
• Wide angle lens essential for large groups
• Clear communication is everything
• Location scouting matters (even when you get lost)
• The importance of having a great assistant (shoutout Abby!)

💡 THE REALITY: Group photography isn't glamorous. It's logistics, patience, and a lot of "can you see me now?" But when you get that perfect shot of everyone together, it's pure magic.
