I was asked to make a large group portrait of the entire cast including munchkins and backstage workers for the Salmon Bay Elementary School production of “The Wizard of Oz”. Immediately after the last performance on Saturday, I set up my lights and watched the play. It was really great. They had already performed it 3 previous times and were really into it. After the last bow was taken I sprang into action and with the help and patience of all involved, we made the above photograph. I would like to thank everyone for their cooperation and special thanks to Glyde King the producer, director and 7th grade teacher who made this such a wonderful production for all.

In December I was called in by the Seattle Aquarium to photograph their board of directors for the annual report. After my initial scouting trip I re-discovered how much I like the overhead approach to making a large group photograph. Sometimes the backgrounds do not seem to look good or maybe it is hard to arrange such a big group in the time and space required and this approach is a real good solution.

Portrait Photography of Large Groups

I am often called upon to make large group portraits an it is always a challenge to make them look great with everybody in the picture looking good with their eyes open and a good expression. It is a challenge just arranging every body and then getting their attention. Since I try to do one everytime I shoot a wedding, I have developed a skill at large group portraits. I usually have a lot of fun and the people do too. And then everyone gets a great picture with all of their co workers or friends or family. This was a san Francisco Wedding at a restaurant and we moved some tables and chairs and got everyone in the photo.
