I've been doing landscapes and animal photography for a while, I have dabbled a little in portraits, just of my other half but I would like to get more into people photography, luckily enough my friend's Mum knows about my love of photography and has asked if I would do some family shots for them. As I'm not used with this type of photography I'm looking for some advice for getting started.
I know a tripod would be a must. I always shoot on shutter priority, is this ok for family shots? There will be 6 of them and I want them all to be clear and crisp in shot. Another point would be where to focus? Generally its easy if its just 1 person or an animal just focus on the eye but as theres more than 1 person, I'm not sure what to do.
I also dont have anything other specialist equipment, like backgrounds, extra lighting or flashes, I am however planning on making the "milk bottle diffuser" for my on body flash.
Thanks in advance for any tips and suggestions. I want to get this right
