Unlike small groups or individuals, when it comes to portraits of large groups, such as schools there are many faces to remember and a distinct spirit of the group to be reflected.
When it comes to schools, School Fotos is Irelands best in the whole-of school photography industry.
We have two methods of producing whole school group photographs. We can use traditional staging which is used mainly outdoors or we can produce a group by photographing each student one by one against a green screen background which is then painstakingly merged with one another to produce a whole group creating a permanent record of that moment in time for the entire school community to be cherished for a lifetime. The group photo above was produced using this technique.
The Advantages of Green Screen:
- Less time out of classroom resulting in minimal disruption to school
- Little scaffolding is used, minimising insurance and potential litigation issues, and maximising safety
- Less time away from work stations for administration and teaching staff
- Students do not have to be in the same location at the same time as they can be added in place later
- No limit to the number of people in the photo
- The most attractive expression can be caught on camera, for example, no blinks or movement
- All subjects (seated or standing) are aligned in such a way that each will be equally and clearly visible
- No limitation of shape, style or format
- The photograph can be placed in any background setting, School Oval, in front of historic building etc.
A school with more than one campus can have a large photo of all combined campuses as well as individual photo for each campus.
