A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Best lighting for outdoor group/family portraits (alien.top)

So I’ve done a good amount of solo / 1-3 person portraits and I’ve always liked “golden” hour and blue hour the very best, as most would probably agree. I have some opportunities to do some large extended family portraits and was wondering if you guys have tips or preferences for lighting, angles for lighting (in respect to the sun, time of day etc), since there’s a lot more people it feels like there might be different strategies from typical portraits. Any advice or tips would be much appreciated!
