A candid photograph is one that is usually not posed and is more about spontanity than it is about technique.

Location Assignment 2 - Group Shot

Location Assignment 2 - Group Shot


Make two portraits using flash lighting.

Photograph a group of 6 people. This is a PR shoot of 6 executives. They do not have much time. Your job is to find an outdoor location and get a group shot for their newsletter. The group needs to be posed formally and also a more relaxed lok. The only hitch is the only time they have to get together for the shot during their conference is in the middle of the day.



1. Formal




2. Relaxed

For this assignment I have decided to photograph one of my mum's good friends. She owns a winery with her husband. I went to have a look at her property and business and believe that the vineyard would make a very interesting composition for an environmental portrait. She also has a cafe in which there are some plain coloured walls that would be good for the head shots.

Some examples
