School photos

[michaeldenysschen]

I have been asked to do the photos for a school and the littlest of the little ones...

Get ready for.....Oom....wat is daarie ding? Hoekom?

Seriously...there is some good ambient light available. I was wondering if it is going to be necessary for any umbrellas and so forth. Any suggestions for these photos are also welcome.

Hi, I did both the primary and secondary school photos for a few years in the small town where I lived (in the good old film days), my advice is take all your gear and use a flash, using ambient light no matter how good is going to be a gamble.
Another tip, if it includes group photo's employ the help of a teacher with authority to do the directing, line up from shortest to tallest and fill stands row by row from centre to side, schoolchildren listen to teachers but not to "omies".
