How to shoot a rock band

Hello! I am back with more research… So I researched tips in how to photograph a band or photograph more than 3 people. This is what I found out:

-Use natural light

-Split the frame into thirds to position the band members

-Make sure the band is relax, as it will create better pictures

-Patience is key

-The background should be simple, so the group shot does not end up looking messy.

-Use a tripod to take a number of shots at the same angle and focal length

-Vary the head heights

-Bands should have the same moods (all smiling, all serious etc…)

-Arrange the group members so that if lines were drawn between their head, there will be little triangles everywhere.

-Snap multiple pictures

-Pose the subjects on uneven footing (stairs)

-Keep the subjects close together
