Wedding Workshop 7: Photographing Groups | Trailer
Welcome to Photographing Group Portraits, the 7th course in the Wedding Workshop Series! Our mission remains the same as it did throughout this series: to create consistently incredible images, but this time with a focus on group portraiture. We want to create formal portraits that sell product and brands without you having to do extra work in marketing or advertising your business.
Purpose & Goals
- Be a Director
- Artistry/Opportunity
- Revenue/Wall Art
- Social Share-Ability
- Direct Marketing
This course is designed to incorporate a lot of the same concepts we’ve discussed in this series but on a magnified scale. In Photographing the Bride/Groom we covered posing to an extensive level, but this course will dive into the nitty gritty and dynamics involved with group posing.
