What You’ll Learn

In this delightfully unconventional family portrait, we’re breaking free from the constraints of the focal plane and stepping away from the typical posed family shot.

Let’s bring excitement and vibrancy into our photography and craft unforgettable portraits together!

In this tutorial, we’ll explore:

  • Achieving sharp focus on multiple subjects, even with a wide-open aperture of f/2.
  • Advanced adjustments, from refining background elements to changing the colors of subjects’ clothing.
  • Creating sophisticated color selections and utilizing cutting-edge AI-generated tools.

Join me as we dive into adventurous editing techniques to elevate your family portraits to the next level!

  1. Clifton Yaney –

    Best group project yet! Thanks.

  2. Renson George –

    Wonderful.

  3. Agnieszka Zmuda –

    You are like a revelation to me! There are no words to express how happy I am that I found your website. I finally understand what it takes to take photos with a low aperture when photographing a larger group of people. For a long time, I was shooting at f5. Thanks to you, that has changed, and I can’t wait to see the results! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  4. Brandon Johnson –

    Fantastic work! I really like how you went through all the color changes. I’m not sure I would go through all of them, but I completely understand why they were made. That is a whole lot of work for each photo. But it completely changes the image to make it look a lot better.

  5. Chad Kotter –

    Wow, great example of a photo with multiple challenges to overcome! Thanks for the meticulous step by step examples, including first trying methods that didn’t work, to overcome the significant color changes and color casts in this example. I hope you didn’t have to edit very many of those large group photos for the customers in this set!

  6. sassymamaphotography –

    The focal plane information is mind-blowing. I have been shooting at 3.5 and up with large groups. I am going to challenge myself and shoot in a low aperture, remembering to double my Shutter Speed to what my lens is!! THIS IS BEYOND A FANTASTIC TUTORIAL!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
