Tip: Don’t miss the group shots

I had the fortunate pleasure of photographing Megan, Didi and Rachel a short time ago for Green Is Sexy.

During the shoot I made the mistake of concentrating too much on individual portraits, instead of really nailing the group shots which, in retrospect, should have been the no brainer to start with, since promotionally, it should have been obvious to me that they’d want to use shots of them all together. By the time I realized I was missing essential group shots, we lost a lot of the best light. Not my finest hour in group portraiture

If you are ever doing a group portrait session, and have a limited amount of time, don’t neglect the group shots like I did. Otherwise you’ll be kicking yourself like I still am!

The shoot resulted in about 350 photos in the final handover package to them that I cut to DVD. They are using some of the photographs on their About Us section, and I think the ones they’ve chosen work really well with their current fall theme.
