Editorial group portraits are never just about gathering everyone together.
It’s the considered space around them. The backdrop, the layers, the furniture, the light, the composition. Every element has a part to play.
I’m always looking for a setting that gives a group portrait a sense of place and presence, rather than simply a wall to stand against. A beautiful piece of furniture creates another layer. Architectural details frame the group. Directional light gives shape. And suddenly, a photograph of your favourite people becomes something that feels almost like a still from a film.
Because the best group photographs don’t just document who was there. They make you want to step into the room.
These kinds of portraits do take a little more time than a traditional group photo, which is why I always love planning them before the wedding. Knowing the space, the light and the combinations we want means we can create something considered while keeping things as organised and efficient as possible on the day.
