Digital Photography 1 on 1: Episode 64: Group Shots: Adorama Photography TV

Adorama TV presents how to set up lighting for Group Shots. This week, Mark demonstrates how to light a large or small group of people indoors with a single light source. Mark uses the Inverse Square law to calculate how the size of the light source and the distance from the light source to the subjects can create even, flattering light. Be sure to watch to the very end of this video!

Hi Mark. How to focus group photo or people in a large group? Where do I set the focus in the view finder? Thanks

HI, I can see that you are using quite heavy set-up on your Benro tripod. How it behaves with that heavy gear? How would you rate is as a travel tripod for D3 and 24-70 f2.8?

What about using the 1 Alieb Bee 800 with a large octabox instead of bouncing it off the wall? will that be enough light for similar results?
